Dream of a Distant Star Playing in the backyard of my village house, I always used to gaze at the big birds flying by and say that one day I’ll be flying them... little did I know what it meant as a kid but somehow I still remember those lines from my childhood!! I belong to a middle class family, born in a village and spent my teenage in a small city of Haryana. Maybe from the background I belong to, as a girl I had too big of a dream to touch the skies!! But my parents always told me that starting point of all achievements is desire and the dreams that you see are meant to be fulfilled which can only happen if you work towards it and that is how I am here today. My journey in Coast Guard started when I had just turned 20 and that was the take off point for my flying career!! I am a Commercial Pilot Licence (CPL) holder and have flown various fixed wing aircrafts in the States for my qualification, serving in Coast Guard has not only given me an opportunity for fulfilling my dreams but also to explore my flying skills, that is flying choppers!! 04 Feb 12... According to people it was an iconic day in the history of Indian Coast Guard as my counterpart & I flew from a ship and became the first women pilots to acquire Deck Landing Qualification, which means qualified to fly solo from the deck of a sailing ship! It may sound easy but think about landing or flying a helicopter off a helipad that is in continuous motion, rolling, pitching, yawing and heaving in every possible direction - but for me it was kind of a dream come true..!! When I was inducted into Coast Guard, I never realised that there is so much in store for me and that I too will someday fly off a ship ... but it happened and that wouldn’t have had been possible without the support of service and all the people associated with it... without their encouragement and belief in me. I am glad that they chose us to be the lucky ones!! I believe there is no beginning or end to one’s dreams and hopes and so is to mine. I wish to make my dreams a reality, practice more by exploring and excelling in each flight – Each one better than the previous one . Asst Comdt Bhawana Rana 841 SQN(CG), CGAS Daman 40
Look Beyond the Boundaries! Introduction I am a traveler on this earth trying to learn from my experiences. “Explore, Evolve and Excel” is an adaptation of life that human beings adopt knowingly or unknowingly. The true adaptation comes when a person explores the world around him and evolves positively. Explore is an act of searching for purpose of discovery of resources and information. Evolve is an adaptation for development catered in the society, situation and surroundings. Excellence is achieved when a person gets best appreciated result, i.e positive evolution. Explore, Evolve and Excel Right from childhood till death, a person explores the world around him to get new ideas, learn new things and adopt a life style for positive evolution to achieve excellence. A child explores anything and everything that he can feed from nearby surroundings. Hence, Society around him is his basic harvest and hence society plays the lead role towards his transformation. The evolution in life that a person adapts must forever be positive. Every person gets his personality from his years of maturity and experience through phases of life. It must forever be taken in positive sense. A man is best known by the choices he makes. He need to constantly update himself and his living conditions by exploring the world around him. He must forever have thrust for positive development, integrity of his thoughts and actions. He thus can achieve excellence in life. An example is narrated through a small story of a thief having two sons. Elder son grew up as his father and thus tried to earn quick money through unfair means. One day his neighbour asked him as to why he does it? He replies, “my father did so, what else can you expect from me?” The neighbour then asked the younger brother who was entirely different from his elder brother and exhibited good character and was hard working. The younger brother replied, “I always saw father and my elder brother doing so and hence, I vowed that I will not be like them and thus decided to work, excel in my life and earn respect in society. Man is a social animal and only if he evolves positively by exploring the world around him, he achieves excellence thereby gaining respect in the society. Hence, it also depends on how he takes things and evolves himself in and around the society and achieves excellence. Excellence is thus a long-term goal with pre-determination and integrity. 41

Introduction<br />
I am a traveler on this earth trying <strong>to</strong> learn from my experiences. “Explore, Evolve <strong>and</strong> Excel” is<br />
an adaptation of life that human beings adopt knowingly or unknowingly. The true adaptation comes<br />
when a person explores the world around him <strong>and</strong> evolves positively. Explore is an act of searching<br />
for purpose of discovery of resources <strong>and</strong> information. Evolve is an adaptation for development<br />
catered in the society, situation <strong>and</strong> surroundings. Excellence is achieved when a person gets best<br />
appreciated result, i.e positive evolution.<br />
Explore, Evolve <strong>and</strong> Excel<br />
Right from childhood till death, a person explores the world around him <strong>to</strong> get new ideas, learn<br />
new things <strong>and</strong> adopt a life style for positive evolution <strong>to</strong> achieve excellence.<br />
A child explores anything <strong>and</strong> everything that he<br />
can feed from nearby surroundings. Hence, Society<br />
around him is his basic harvest <strong>and</strong> hence society<br />
plays the lead role <strong>to</strong>wards his transformation. The<br />
evolution in life that a person adapts must forever be<br />
positive. Every person gets his personality from his<br />
years of maturity <strong>and</strong> experience through phases of<br />
life. It must forever be taken in positive sense.<br />
A man is best known by the choices he makes.<br />
He need <strong>to</strong> constantly update himself <strong>and</strong> his living conditions by exploring the world around him. He<br />
must forever have thrust for positive development, integrity of his thoughts <strong>and</strong> actions. He thus can<br />
achieve excellence in life. An example is narrated through a small s<strong>to</strong>ry of a thief having two sons.<br />
Elder son grew up as his father <strong>and</strong> thus tried <strong>to</strong> earn quick money through unfair means. One day<br />
his neighbour asked him as <strong>to</strong> why he does it? He replies, “my father did so, what else can you<br />
expect from me?” The neighbour then asked the younger brother who was entirely different from his<br />
elder brother <strong>and</strong> exhibited good character <strong>and</strong> was hard working. The younger brother replied, “I<br />
always saw father <strong>and</strong> my elder brother doing so <strong>and</strong> hence, I vowed that I will not be like them <strong>and</strong><br />
thus decided <strong>to</strong> work, excel in my life <strong>and</strong> earn respect in society.<br />
Man is a social animal <strong>and</strong> only if he evolves positively by exploring the world around him, he<br />
achieves excellence thereby gaining respect in the society. Hence, it also depends on how he takes<br />
things <strong>and</strong> evolves himself in <strong>and</strong> around the society <strong>and</strong> achieves excellence. Excellence is thus a<br />
long-term goal with pre-determination <strong>and</strong> integrity.<br />
