To Indian Army from a commoner

-


I know you don’t know me. I am a common man. Before I really say something about you I want to say something about me. I am from a middle class family working hard to achieve my dreams. I get up early in the morning thinking about myself, regarding how this new day of my life will go? What are the problems I would face? What people will expect from me? Every new day, I don’t think about anyone else or anyone’s problem. I only think about myself, about what is going to happen today and at night I always suppose, what’s going to happen tomorrow? That’s my life. That is how a day comes and goes in my life. It is not like I don’t think about others. I think about my girlfriend (if she is happy with me or not), I think about my parents (if I am fulfilling their expectations or not) and I also think about useless things like which movie is releasing next week and I start planning about it, in advance. Look, I think about me and my closets and nobody else matters to me. So, one day, like you can say this day, I realize that I am selfish. I know it’s a late realization but I think by praising you (Indian Army) I may get satisfaction. Let it be little.

For You,

I love you; these are my first words for you.
Actually I don’t know are you humans like all of us or are you all gods (even though I believe everyone has a god in them). You stay away from your family for me and others. What do I mean to you? Nothing.  Still I don’t know why you fight for me and stay near the danger end for me and I also know it’s not your duty. It’s your love for me. I understand and respect your love for this country and I may support your love if time comes. And every citizen of this country feels the same, I know it.

Secondly, I want to thank you for forgiving me. Forgiving me for forgetting your existence in my life. I read about you in newspapers and ignore your struggle for us. I know ignoring you is my stupidity. But what a kind personality you all have. I did ignore you all but you did not ignore me or my and our countrymen.

Actually, my hands are now shivering while I am typing this for you. I really don’t understand why do you fight for us even after politicians question you about your duty? Using right to speech some politicians are not seeing this world from world from your eyes. Let me guess what you must be feeling now, you must be feeling so proud serving for this great country. Problems affect you but you don’t really throw out the frustration on us. You control yourself and protect us. You’re not like me, who gets angry on small irritating things. Sometimes I wonder how hard it must be for you all but then I realize that there is nothing hard for an army man or woman.

I want to end this by saying, my love for you will never fade and I hope you stay safe with peace and love.

Thank you,

Amay Saxena

PS: Sorry if you feel it’s incomplete.

Laughing At Yourself is More Important Than Laughing At Others!

I have seen people getting angry at them, feeling guilty about mistakes they did but what I haven’t seen yet is – people never laugh at themselves. It has ever happened that – a classmate of yours has asked a foolish question to your professor and it is followed by a string of laughter. Have you eve r felt laughing at others is very easy but being a laughing stock is hard? The feeling of being a fun element is hard to swallow but laughing at something or someone is never tough. Everyone’s Target Making fun of others and taunting them again and again about where they went wrong, and how foolish they’re won’t help you in life. What really helps in life is observing your mistakes and working on it. The example of laughter I gave in the first paragraph can also influence a person in a negative way. It or she may develop fear of becoming a figure of fun and would never any question ever in front of people. Yes, it is also a kind of indirect bullying. Well, laugh...

Short Story: Man Standing in the Dark (Part One)

Part One   HOW OFTEN DO WE COME ACROSS A MAN WHO STANDS ON A DARK ROAD EVERY NIGHT TO DO A VERY STRANGE ACTIVITY?  Since last three years, I have developed this habit of not sleeping until 3 .a.m. in the morning. I don’t know why but I read all night and sleep all day. Everyone at home is mad at me except for one person. That is my father, who is a retired lawyer. Every day it is my mother, who is yelling at me, but I don’t see him having any problem with me reading all night. Initially, I thought he’s bored and he doesn’t give fuck about what I do, but it is not that way. Maybe he’s aware that I am not gonna do anything wrong staying awake all night, I thought. This thought rested other thoughts which were about to take birth and float in my mind for the rest of the time until I got a real answer to it. Helpless, I knew, those’ll come out anyhow.             So, one day, when I was sitting reading a Stephe...

Mahendra Singh Dhoni

MS Dhoni—the name needs no introduction. He is also known as Captain Cool. He is also known as the best finisher, best wicket-keeper, Mahi, etc. Yesterday, when I heard about Dhoni stepping down as India’s limited over’s captain. It came as a shock to me. It was unexpected but with Dhoni it is always a surprise. Like every cricketing fan, I also became sad by learning the fact that he only had one match to go for completing the milestone of 200 matches as a captain. Before his decision— I was observing from the last few months, every article in the newspaper regarding Dhoni had a piece of his retirement plans and his unsuccessful campaign in World T20. Some articles also stated that Dhoni is done with his successful career and he should retire. Everyone in the press started asking him questions regarding his retirement. Although, our Captain Cool, stayed calm and answered the questions tactfully without creating a big issue. Sometimes he did lose his coolness but he never sto...
