Kargil War Heroes


They were someone’s love, someone’s son, those 527 were someone’s only one. They fought for us till last breath; they gave their lives for the nation’s health.
            26th  July 1999, Indian flag was hosted as Indian Army occupied kargil’s Dras sector on the success of Mission Vijay. The victory was not an easy one, it was made up of sacrifices of lives of those 527 Indian soldiers who gave their lives for their motherland. It was made up of those tears of a mother who lost her son, made up of the cries of a bride who is now widow, made up of a child’s sadness who lost a father’s shoulder to climb on, made up of a sister’s dead emotions who lost the wrist she has always tied ‘Rakhi’ on. Made up of the hard work and sleepless struggles of our Indian Army and their families.
          When we lay safe in our homes, those brave soldiers were surviving in extreme cold weather and fighting with enemy for our safety. They struggled in the snow-capped mountains of Kashmir, fought with hunger, weather, deaths of companions and what not. Those soldiers didn’t carry food with themselves as they didn’t want that there should be any extra weight, they preferred carrying bullets of that weight as a food for the enemies instead. Their struggle and bravery can’t be penned down in words. Why did they do it??? No they were not going to get anything out of it, neither were their families, they did it so that we could live safely. They did for a nation.
       We all have full knowledge about the film heroes who work and act according to script, but I want to ask what about those Martyrs, who fought for us??? What about those real life heroes??? Does anyone of us know what happened to their old parents Does any one of us know anything about the Martyrs and their families..??? Anyone????
        Well I just want to remind you all those forgotten ‘Heroes’, of their selfless sacrifices with this article. No I don’t want to say every one of us should join the Army, or go to the border to fight, all I want to convey is those brave sons gave lives for us, we should value their sacrifices. If we really want to value their sacrifices, may be knowing them, their families, and remembering their struggle would do it. When we can be diehard fan of Bollywood heroes, then why not of our heroes? Most importantantly, being a better Indian would help preserve the nation, they gave their lives for. Let’s come together and pledge “we won’t let those sacrifices go in vain, we with our efforts will make this country a better India”.

Battles Behind Every Smile

  We often hear that "life isn't fair," but those words carry more weight than we might realize. Life, with all its twists and turns, doesn't distribute its joys and struggles evenly. While some people seem to breeze through life, others face challenges at every step. Some people seem to breeze through life, while others face challenges at every step. But beneath the surface, no matter how things appear, everyone is fighting their own unseen battle. From childhood, we're taught the importance of fairness. We learn to share, to take turns, and to treat others as we'd like to be treated. But as we grow up, we quickly realize that the world doesn’t always operate on the principles of fairness we were taught. The illusion of fairness fades when we see good people facing hardships while others appear to glide through life. It's easy to fall into the trap of comparing our lives to others, questioning why certain things happen to us while others seem untouched ...

Freedom In Love

Image
  In the journey of life, relationships are like the threads that weave the fabric of our existence. Each connection adds depth and meaning to our experiences, but it's essential to remember the importance of freedom within these bonds. For some, love may appear as a complex web of obligations and expectations. But for those who understand the true essence of love, it's a beacon of freedom, a choice made from the depths of the heart. I've always believed in the sanctity of choice. I never wish to be the one who compels someone to stay. If there's something or someone else out there that calls to you, I won't stand in your way. Life is too short to hold onto someone who isn't sure where they belong. For me, love is synonymous with freedom. It's about giving each other the space to grow and evolve, free from constraints or expectations. It's about embracing the truth of our feelings and allowing them to guide us. If you choose to be with me, let it be ...

Cost of Experience

Image
  Life is a journey filled with many experiences, some vibrant and joyful, others darker. But one thing is common – every experience comes with a cost. Often, the most overlooked cost is the feeling of being alone, even when surrounded by people. Think about a time when you achieved something big; a career milestone, a long-awaited travel adventure, or a personal breakthrough. The world claps for you; people smile and cheer, and yet, deep down, there’s an emptiness. Why? Because the journey to that moment, the struggles, the sleepless nights, and the quiet fears, were walked alone. Take the story of someone moving to a new city, to follow their dreams. Initially, there’s excitement, the thrill of change, and the allure of new beginnings. But with every unfamiliar face and unspoken connection, a creeping sense of solitude sets in. It isn’t about the absence of people; it’s about the absence of someone who truly understands your battles. And that’s okay. In fact, it’s often necessa...
