Vijyant was a boy with a very loving disposition who
always thought about others more himself. As a person he was very warm
hearted, considerate and frugal. He always wanted to be in the Army. His favourate toys were guns He would wear his father peak cap, take his cane and march around like an officer. He
worked hard to fulfill his ambition. And one day his hardwork paid off.
He got selected in Indian Military Academy, Dehradun.
A lasting memory of his child hood was Robin running around our sprawling garden, with his two dogs, Hirni and Alca chasing butterflies, catching dragon flies and doing mock charges on Langoors (Baboons) who were actually friendly. In the evening he would be in the Paltan (Battalion), watching wrestlers, boxers and other sportsman . At the age of four or five he had already fired a pistol sitting in his dads embrace .

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.

important than his nation, INDIA.
