Hello people,
This is the second blog from me. Although the title says is all..but then what exactly does it mean ??
Well, here goes nothing.....
I have been through many ups-and-downs in my life of 37 years and till date one thing has been the only constant in my life - GROW UP in life. right from the adolescent days of my life, i have been told to grow up.. by everyone who ever came in my life. Be it my mother, sisters, cousins, relatives (maternal and paternal both), my friends, girlfriends, their friends and their best friends, relatives of my all types of friends and who not. I mean even sometimes the strangers I met on - road, train journeys, flights, etc have also said the same thing. Above all, believe it or not Even my wife since last ten years of our marriage keeps repeating this every now and then.
I just want to know from all of them just one thing - WHY?? how does it matter? It's my life and I wish to live the way I want to. Everyone wants to be remembered the way they lived their lives right? then why not me.
People have been helpful thankful and all other types of full, conveying their best wishes for the help and support I have given them ever in their or my life and at times it has helped them quite a lot. But still as they say - the earth is round, so it happened to me, after all, I did for whoever, whatever, wherever and whenever, I was still reminded of just one thing - GROW UP!
I have come across many types of people in my life, thanks to my father's job and my job (we both WERE in Army) (I am a 2nd Generation Army Officer - for info of all; who may be reading this blog some day).
As of now, after completing my 14 years of Short service in the Indian Army, I have hung my uniform (although I did not want to) hoping some changes might come and I can continue to don the elite Olive Greens. but sometimes, whatever happens, happens for good. so I also went with the tide and did not bother much. it has been three months now that I have hung the uniform, now when I turn and see the condition of the Army, it pinches to see - is this what our forefathers and valiant soldiers fought for ?? the present generation of top brass, do not have enough guts to stand against the wrongs being done to the Armed forces in India and we get to hear the stories from all over the world as to how the other (developed, developing, and underdeveloped) countries are reacting when their soldiers return from their duty. I feel ashamed and embarrassed to see that we have to show these type of videos and photos to our Indians about how to GIVE Respect to their soldiers. even then everyone has a reason for not doing it. And then, they expect that the soldier will keep quite. I say, enough is enough, just for once why can't we (the soldiers) be given the authority and power to make the rights and teach the wrong doers a banging lesson to make them and others too to understand that the Indian Army is not limited to anything but Restricted by the politicians and their bureaucratic babus and the yesmanship Generals. who have anything but BALLs to wrong things and doings? more is yet to come.......
