Adieu

Who would have ever thought that this would happen to him? I heard about Major Bhanu Pratap Singh and it affected me deeply. He made himself immortal on this earth by his heroic gesture. What else can a person gift his motherland than his own life wrapped in blood? Nothing can be as supreme as it. What would his parents be feeling after losing their son who was too young to die? What about his wife, who has got her entire life lying ahead of her, who would perhaps lose all her youth in living the life of a broken widow, lamenting on the death of her husband? And his 3 year old son who didn't even know what was happening around? Today, I saw his picture in the newspaper where he was standing with folded hands in front of his father's body and that poignant scene actually brought tears in my eyes. Nah, I didn't know him before I read about him in the newspaper, that too my mom told about it. But you know, there's a kind of strong bond between people on this earth. You won't feel good to see a person suffering from anything. It was piercing to know about it and it created a strong disgust in me for all those 'murderers' responsible for his death. But, I stand in a great honor for him, for the person, who could have chosen life but instead decided to grab the traitors and do something for his nation and yes, he succeeded. Nothing could have been great than his selfless sacrifice for his motherland and I feel great to be a part of a country where such great men are born. A salute to him!
