as this will lead to success in life. At this age there are Fads that affect the mind. Obsessions that don't help arriving at a good decision.
If your mind is to get in to the forces, apply for NDA. They have an extensive selection. If you are good they will build your career. There has been an IT boom in the country so your parents are trying to put you there. But you have to be good at science and Maths. Pilots are intelligent and a specific breed who are very sharp, stable in mind and quick at taking decisions. There too the selection process ensures only the best of breed go.
Take paper and pencil Write what are your own wishes Write why you like it. Be honest to yourself. Even if comes to a fact that the neighborhood girl's father is in the navy. You do not have to show this paper to any one. Once you have written these, sit down and keep emotions out. Remove factor that are not rational. Then see what emerges.
You have to try many things. Some things will help you decide where to go. Then you need to go through the competition and take what comes your way. And enjoy life.
These notes can be a solace if any time in future you are not happy with your decision. Decisions are made under circumstances, which we forget, but remember only the decision and many times regret decisions rather than looking at them rationally.
Best of luck in your endeavors. Please look for answers for yourself and respect parents views, after you have looked at them rationally with your own capabilities. Marks obtained are good indicators, though many tend to disagree.
