AS A PERSON
Vijyant a soft hearted soul with an armour of fearless determination and love for the nation. At the age of 22 when life was still to come he chose to battle with the enemey without
any thought about himself. he was very sure that the Gods in the heaven will protect him. He gave up his life fighting the enemy and protecting our motherland without thinking about himself. Considering he was only 22 years of age, this selfless act makes him a very noble soul. Fond of Music as he was, he was always playing tunes of his favorite movie "BORDER" even at the war front
AFTER GETTING SELECTED
At about this time he was in love with an exceedingly lovely girl with sparkling eyes and a dazzling smile. Unfortunately the war cut shot this brief love story. Vijyant was always fond of outdoor life and was very close to mother nature because of which he was named Robin. He was very health conscious and worked hard in the Gym
LIFE IN I.M.A
Vijyant did well during his training. He got the silver medal for standing second in the order of merit in the first term. Despite his badly dislocated shoulder in a Boxing Tournament he still completed the most difficult exercise involving a march of 30-40 Kms in the mountains. He did his para jumps, hand gliding despite his injury. He also got a Gold Medal in Water Polo
JOINING INDIAN ARMY (INFANTRY)
Vijyant was always inspired by the talks of his father's exploits and his Uncle's various experiences in the Air Force. Vijyant's first love was to be a fighter pilot. However, he was very happy to join the infantry like his father. He was a very principled and disciplined person and nothing was more important than his nation, INDIA. Vijyant was a die hard soldier and a proud Indian. He was always smiling no matter what the circumstances are. He was a God fearing person. He was a great devotee of Karni Mata. Before going to any battle he used to offer prayers to Karni Mata. He displayed an exemplary devotion to duty during the main attack at Knoll even at the cost of his life. Vivek Gupta, Saurav Kalia and the recovery of Maj Adhikari body had a deep impact on Robin. The killings , the hand to hand fighting in which heads rolled was tough on a young man just 22 years. But he went through this with courage
