Do we really honour our War Heroes ?

In our National daily the respected Times of India which claims to be the most read news paper gave a small news clipping on the front page left side(issue dated 21 Mar 2007) about the operation carried out by the Indian Army in Kupwara Dist of J & K State.The total no of words you can count yourself. The article reads '' Six Killed in J & K gun battle : Four militants suspected to be members of Pakistan base Lashkar-e-Toiba and two army personel, including a captain ,were killed in a gunbattle in Kupwara district on Tuesday.''


Two days ago when the Pakistan cricket coach Mr Bob Woolmer died in West Indies the gentlemam got the front page news with the photograph double the size of the total coverage given to the news article on which the whole country should be proud of.

Some one has said that '' The nation perishes which do not honour its war heroes''

God save but it is high time we rise and shine and make the Forces know that atleast we are aware of the sacrifices they do for our safety and security and the families who have lost their everything that we are with them.

Hope the press becomes more sensible in reporting such incidences and highlight such incidences with much more pride so that the army of this great nation which is already in short of Officers will not one day starve of young men to lead the finest army in the battle field just because of our carelessness.

Think the day when the best fighting men in the world are lost cause they do not have the men of nerves of steel to lead them in the battlefield.

My friend's views about me

I have seen the confidence in his stride
I have seen him with perseverance
I have heard the love for his family in his voice
I have seen him missing his cute lil kid
I have seen the lament in his eyes
I have seen him trying to make up for the distance
I have seen the “I am there” unspoken message for his friends
I have seen him happy
I have seen him dancing
I have seen him enjoying the rain
I have seen him being a kid
I have seen him be an elder brother
I have seen him counseling
N I have seen him listening to the advice
I have seen him trying to get angry
I have seen him with the gift of forgiveness
I have seen him get up once again n fight all odds out
I have heard the strength in his words
N I have seen firmness in his actions
And have heard the compassion in his voice
I have seen him keeping his word,
N I have seen him resolving to be there…
I have seen only love in him……
That is how I have seen Rahul da…


This is the testimonial writen by my friend on Orkut so I thought it is more appropriate to start my blog posting through hers.
