The Proud Tri-Colour

Yet again, here is another composition from me on the brave hearts, who strive for the nation’s pride despite of believing that they have their own personal lives. Starting from the freedom fighter to the today’s soldier, I thank one and all for being there for our country’s sake.

First of all A Happy Independence day to a u all…

I have started today with reading the news about the brave hearts, who are being honored for giving their best to their motherland. The Ashok Chakra, Kirti Chakra, Shaurya Chakra have been given to the soldiers, in recognition of their services. I’m proud to say my hearty congratulations to all of them.

I remember the moments when Mrs. Hemanth Karkare busted in to tears while taking the Ashok Chakra from the president on behalf of her husband, who was awarded posthumously, in recognition of his services during the Mumbai terrorist attacks last year. I remember shedding tears on hearing that Major. Sandeep Unnikrishnan, the NGO commando, who had sacrificed his life during the same operation, was just married a week before from then.

“Though no one in our family had ever served in armed forces, Mohit was fascinated by Army right since childhood. A champion boxer and swimmer during his military academy days, he spent around six out of his 10 years in uniform battling militants in J&K...he had become a counter-terrorism expert...he was very brave” look at the words of a proud father of Late. Major Mohit Sharma, who is honored with the Ashok Chakra this time.

It is unstoppable if we start saying about the different life stories of these guys, but it has to be stopped now, I regret. I’m becoming very emotional as I write this. I’m not in Indian defense now, nor can I be able to take part in it now. But I hope that I would become a proud wife of a person who would risk his life for our mother land, or may be a proud mother or grand mother some day, of he who may serve the Indian defense at the inspiration of his own life and my love.

One point strikes my mind at the moment, what was the success that had come to these guys when they were alive. They had been fighting for the nation, and finally succeeded in doing it at the cost of their lives. And today they are no more to celebrate their brave moments, when their services are being recognized. It is applicable to life as well, I guess. Enjoy every moment. To smile, don’t wait for a success. Success is about the satisfaction that you attain, not necessarily be the recognition or a win.

All in all, it is very nice to see the proud tri-colour waving her wishes to her people. She is happy, she is brave, and she is proud of them.
Let me tell you, to be a proud citizen of your country, you need not to be a freedom fighter or a person from the defense always. You have to be what you are and serve every small aspect that is at your hands. Some people are meant for serving the nation at the border, some are meant for representing their country as per their skills, some are meant for leading their country in political aspects, some are meant for serving people, some are meant for educating the nation, some are meant for preparing the young hearts for a better tomorrow, some are meant for writing about their motherland for the sake of future generations and etc. And last but not the least, some are meant for sharing their lives with all those people mentioned above and some other may be meant for serving their best for all these. Every person who does his duty is in someway contributing to his motherland ultimately. Let us do it with heart and be the proud citizens of our motherland.

Once again, Happy Independence Day and have a bright day. Let us make the Tri-colour be proud of us as well. Whatever you are, she loves you the same, and it is your responsibility to give it back with your deeds.

Thanks for your time.
