FREEDOM IS NOT FREE

FREEDOM IS NOT FREE

 If you think soldiers are strong, you should look at their girls.

She walks with a 
heaviness in her heart 
A burden that weighs her down
For she has lost her father in war
And her world has been turned around...

She remembers the days,
when he was here his smile, his laugh,
his love so clear
But now he's gone and she's alone
Her grief is something she can't disown...

She wonders why it had to be this way
Why her father had to go and not stay
But she knows he fought for what hee 
believed And that his sacrifice was not 
in vain...

Thought her tears fall like rain and her
heart aches with pain
She finds strength in his memory and
She knows that he'll always be...

A party of her, forever and more 
Her father, her hero, the one she adores
She'll hold his memory close to her heart 
And they'll never truly be apart....

'Fulfilled great-grandad's studying in IMA dream' For Shanon Sharma, who became the first from his village Naugaon on the outskirts of Dehradun,  to become an Army officer, it was a day full of emotions for this moment for several decades.  "My great-grandfather, Deep Chand, a farmer, contributed to the construction of Indian Military Academy (IMA) in 1932 by ferrying construction materials on his bullock cart. He always had the wish that one of his family members studies in the prestigious institution. Today, as I stood in front of the Chetwode Hall, where the passing out parade is held, a dream had come true for me and my family after three generations," Shanon said.  He added that he had completed his engineering degree as well and was offered a package of Rs.15 Lakh by an MNC, along with offers from the Indian Navy and Air Force but he choose to join IMA so that "the family's dream could come true."

GIVING UP OR STANDING TALL

GIVING UP OR STANDING TALL  People love happy endings. But not every story has a happy ending. And such stories are mostly forgotten with the thought that sadness is a part of life. Happy stories give hope and sad stories show us the mirror. She always believed in happy endings. That one day a knight in shining armour will come and save the day. She loved the stories of Snow White and Cinderella where evil was surpassed by good. She was a nice girl. Right from the start. From the day she was born. I won’t say that she was an angel. But she wasn’t the devil either. Everyone loved her as a child is loved. Or maybe more. Who knows? Her parents doted on her. She was born with a silver spoon. Not exactly. But yes. Her life wasn’t difficult either. She was happy. And had every reason to be. Life isn’t always a fairytale. But it isn’t a bed of thorns either. I have heard that she was a very chirpy child. Very happy and irritating sometimes. I was happy and excited to meet her. I had heard...

'The square drive off Andy was my homage to Vishy'

'The square drive off Andy was my homage to Vishy' It tastes like vintage wine. It's been 40 years, but it gets better and better." That's how Krishnamachari Srikkanth 'Chika' remembers that magical June of 1983. The Chennai swashbuckler, who top-scored in the final with a 38 against the greatest pace attack of all time on a green Lord's pitch, never believed they would even come close to achieving what they did when it all began. "You know, I had to cut short my honeymoon because of the World Cup win," Srikkanth said.  Srikkanth had just got married and his England stint for the World Cup was a part of a double honeymoon package. "I load my wife before that the first part of the honeymoon would be in England, and the second in America. The World Cup was basically a stop-over. In fact, my tickets for America were booked for after the League stage. Finally, it had to be cancelled and we came back to India after the win," h...
