“You have never lived until
You have almost died,
And for those who choose to fight,
Life has a special flavor,
The protected will never know!!!”

Born on 12 August 1976 to Mr. and Mrs. S. Ramachandran, Capt. Subramanian, KC (Posth) lived his life to this motto that he had so dearly cherished, to a duty that he was so dearly passionate about.

Later on he was posted to Nahaan (Himachal Pradesh) from where he was sent to Srinagar in Feb. 2000 for “Operation Rakshak”. He was promoted as Captain in March 2000. Though he achieved his set goal of an army officer, he made the supreme sacrifice of his life in the highest traditions of the Army while fighting the militants at Haphruda forest in Kupwara Dist in Jammu and Kashmir (Operation Rakshak) on 19th June 2000, when he made his supreme sacrifice of his life displayed conspicuous courage and outstanding combat leadership while facing the militants at Kupwara dist in Jammu and Kashmir.

PARA/22 SPECIAL FORCES

Biography:

Not one for academics he excelled in games & sports & other extra curricular activities. He loved his alma mater & was forever grateful for the opportunity he’d had, taking time off to visit it as often as he could in the years to follow. 

Udai, graduated from Deshbandhu College, Delhi with an honors degree in Political Science and was soon absorbed as a management trainee with the Taj Mansingh, Delhi. What he aspired to was a career in the Special Forces of the Indian Army 

“I do not wish to spend my life waiting on hotel guests” he’d say. “I want to be that 5 star guest”. 

His ambition was partly fulfilled on passing out from the IMA in June 1997. He was commissioned into the first battalion of the Parachute Regiment. 

“My life in the army”, he confessed to a friend, ” is doomed if I do not clear the probation”. 

Clear it he did and was with the paltan for five wonderful years before volunteering for the Special Group – the mavericks. He soon became one of them. 

His brief career was spent almost entirely in the mountains of Kashmir with a few months here and there given to the short courses run by the army. He did the free fall & the para jumps along with a course in deep sea diving. 

He loved what he did never regretting for an instant his choice of career. His life in the army was a source of great pride and enthusiasm. It was all that he had ever wished it to be.

Hans Jenny and Cymatics – The Study of Wave Phenomena

Hans Jenny (1904 – 1972)

In the 1960s and ’70s Swiss engineer and medical doctor Hans Jenny performed experiments using sound frequencies on various materials such as water, sand, dust, liquid plastic and milk. Dr Jenny placed the material on a metal plate attached to a crystal oscillator which was controlled by a frequency generator capable of producing a wide range of vibrations.  He then filmed and photographed what happened on the plate. He coined the term Cymatics (the study of wave-form phenomena), which is derived from the Greek ‘kyma’ meaning ‘wave’, and ‘ta kymatica’ meaning ‘matters pertaining to waves’.

The first two images are of water. The higher the frequency, the more complex the pattern.
The vibrations are strongest in the dark areas within the material on the plate. For example in sand pattern 1, the sand falls into those areas where there is little or no vibrations, thus making the unique patterns shown.

These next images were taken from moving film. Please remember that the substance is constantly oscillating and not in a static state. It is interesting to note that even when the plate was tilted the material would not fall off but would continue to oscillate just as before – seemingly defying gravity. When the frequency was shut off the material would immediately fall to the floor.

Below is a picture of the Sri Yantra (mandala image 1). This is probably one of the most famous mandalas. You can find it in thousands of temples in India and the Far East. This is the pattern that the ‘OM‘ is said to represent. Or rather, this is the image that the ancient Rishis envisioned when meditating on the ‘OM‘.

Dr Jenny invented a machine called a Tonoscope which allowed a human voice to vibrate the plate directly.  He had a voice sing ‘OM‘ into a microphone and the result can be seen in mandala image 2.

Incidentally, regarding the sand paintings of the Navajo Indian – there was a time in the distant past, so legend tells us, when the Navajo shaman made beautiful pictures in the sand merely by speaking to it.

Read on for this brave soldiers sacrifice

On 19 July 1988, a convoy of a two vehicles of the 7th Battalion of the Assam Regiment was making its way from Madurengkenikulam to Mangani to collect dry rations. In charge of the detail was a young subaltern, 2nd Lt. Rajeev Sandhu, who was barely six months out of the IMA. 2nd Lt. Sandhu was traveling in the Mahindra Jeep, leading the way to the 1 Ton Nissan truck which was trailing 50 meters behind the jeep. Driving the jeep was Sepoy NKKS Rajkumar, 2nd Lt. Sandhu was in the next seat. Sitting in the rear was L/Nk Nandeshwar Das and Sepoy Lalbuanga. As the vehicles reached a track junction, a rocket fired from the undergrowth hit the jeep, lifting it into the air and overturning it to the side. Immediately a fusillade of fire from the AK-47s straddled the overturned Jeep. When the volley of fire ended, and silence descended on the ambush site, the LTTE militants knew that this was one convoy that never made it to the Army base. They came out of their ambush positions to pick up the weapons and equipment of the fallen soldiers.

 Second Lieutenant Rajeev Sandhu earned the Assam Regiment its first Maha Vir Chakra during the Operations in 1988.
But one Indian Soldier still had his wits around with him. Out of the view of the militants, 2nd Lt. Sandhu, was dragging himself with his 9mm SMC Carbine out of the wreck. Both his legs were smashed when the rocket hit the jeep, the subsequent volley of fire had wounded him and he was bleeding profusely. He checked the other occupants of the jeep. None of them were conscious. In fact the initial blast of the rocket was borne by 2nd Lt. Sandhu. The machine gun fire that followed killed both Lance Naik Das and Sep Lalbuanga in the rear. Driver Rajkumar was wounded and unconscious. Sandhu tumbled out of the Jeep and crawled to a fire position. As one of the LTTE militants by the name of Kumaran approached the Jeep. Despite his legs being totally smashed and his body ridden with bullets, 2nd Lt. Sandhu lifted his carbine with blood soaked hands and sprayed Kumaran with bullets, killing him instantly.
However, the bleeding had already taken its toll. 2nd Lt. Sandhu succumbed to his wounds and injuries.

A grateful nation recognised his bravery with the award of a Maha Vir Chakra in 1990. 2nd Lt. Sandhu was just 22 years old when he died in Sri Lanka. Incidents like these were what kept the LTTE from underestimating the fighting prowess of the Army. They knew that they could not compare the fighting calibre of the Indian Soldier to that of the Sri Lankan Army. The Indian Soldier was coming from a background of operational exposure in areas like the Jungles of North east and the Mountains of the North. Death and Hardship were not a stranger to him, thus He was more ready and more experienced in fighting back to the hit and run tactics of the LTTE.

These are sad times indeed.

A silent salute to this brave son of the soil.

A Tribute to Col Vasanth

By Tulasi Srinivas- Narasimhan

The news item by Reuters on July 31 profoundly shocked me: “Six people, including a top Indian Army officer, was killed in the gun battle between troops and militants trying to sneak into Indian Kashmir from the Pakistani side,” an Army spokesman said.
The Army spokesman narrated how Colonel Vasanth Venugopal, commanding officer of 9 Maratha Light Infantry, along with reinforcements, rushed to the site to personally supervise the operation. Under his determined and resolute leadership, troops surrounded terrorists in a difficult and thickly-wooded forested area. Heavy fighting ensued in which Col Vasanth personally flushed out militants.
Displaying cool courage and operational acumen, Col Vasanth poised himself and his party to block the escape routes of entrapped militants. He died in the hospital of his wounds.
Col Vasanth was, in life, one of a very rare breed — a true idealist and a man of peace — who was proud to be an officer of the Indian Army. The obvious paradox did not seem to trouble him.
I first met Vasanth in 1993, when I married into his family. He was then a young officer, away often on the frontline and in military training, much to the dismay and worry of his young bride Subhashini.
Vasanth was no armchair idealist, no sit back scholar. He had read widely about military history and strategy and would take great care to analyse the inscrutable choices that armies had made in history. When he was on a holiday in Bangalore, he would attempt to solve the crossword puzzle everyday, help his daughter polish her shoes for school, read newspapers, and surf the web, thirsting to learn more and more.
His love for the Army and the honour it signified, was brought home to me in many ways. In 2003, the whole family, myself included, visited him in Belgaum.
Then a Major, when he came out of his room early in the morning dressed in his army uniform, shoes polished, medals blazing, he suddenly looked like a different man; confident, assured and in charge.
We teased him and he said in all seriousness; “It is the uniform of the Indian Army. When I put it on, it is a responsibility. The boys see me and expect me to behave as an officer”.
And now he is gone — shot to death by religious insurgents, who kill for an ideology. The cost of his fall will be known only by his wife, his parents and his daughters.
I have no doubt that Col Vasanth himself would probably have asked for no more fitting fall than with his men, defending his nation, but what do we make of such an end? What can we say, tongue tied with grief?
