Death is the ending of everything for those who do not believe in the life hereafter but for the righteous people it’s just the beginning of their never ending life! People’s die but their names never do! Days pass by and the world progresses with the advent of every morning! every new day brings hopes and happiness! and we come across smiling faces around us but reality is A coin has two sides! Beside these happy faces there is a tragic face hidden which is full of sorrows of life!
There is always a smiling sister who is waiting for her elder brother’s arrival who has just gone to protect his motherland! She waits for her brother to come and love her she waits for her brother to come and scold her cutely for making her mother sad! She waits for her brother so that he can tease her and she can complain to her mother about that! She waits for her brother’s advice and that’s never fight with your siblings! There is always a younger brother who is waiting for her elder brother to come back so that they can again talk about all random things! He always desperately waits to listen the standard sentence that his brother always says him (DON’T CALL PAPA POPSII) ….
There is always a father more likely to be bestfriend who waits anxiously for his son’s arrival, he is always ready to save his son from his mothers scolding and is always there to support every right decision of his son! he saves all his affection and advices for his pride who has just went to save the motherland.
His mother is always learning new recipes so that she can try when his son is back home! His mother has already bought his favorite shirt for him as a gift for his birthday because before leaving to perform his duty his son asked her (MAA THIS TIME I WANT SAME T SHIRT AS LIKE PAPA USED TO WEAR AND I WANT THAT ON MY BIRTHDAY). Their eldest Son is braving the hostile weather and defending the pride of his pure country!
He plans to how he would give surprise to all waiting at his home. He imagines how he will share his all stories of his missions with his parents and siblings! He imagines how he will spend quality of time with his family! But then a turn comes where his motherland calls him for protection! he responds to it and fulfils his responsibility! He saves all the people from avalanche. When it was his time to save himself he saw that the country flag was there and noticed that if avalanche would strike there then this flag will bury under the deep ice which was not a respectable thing so he went back and looking him going towards the avalanche his friends were about to shout but their senior stopped them as if they will shout then more avalanche will occur and they were helpless now the only thing which was in their hand was waiting for him to return but unfortunately it didn’t happened he went there and reached to flag he took that and started running towards the safe place where the others were but as he was not able to escape from that high speed avalanche he knew that he will be struck there! so he wore that flag as he thought that burying the flag like any waste is not good so let’s wear this because he thought if I will die today then also I have to go home in this flag so better I should wear it now so he wore the flag as a shawl and yes it happened there was all white bed sheet of white ice not evn single colour was visible it was clear that he was now under that ice! And with it he embraced martyrdom! He knew before his life his duty his responsibility comes first! Before going for long sleep he managed to do something that he knew will somehow ease down the pain of his family they will go through! The brave son dies who selflessly fulfilled his responsibility!
His life doesn’t comes to an end here! For those who lay their lives for their country are always alive in the heart of people! The same son comes back to home but this time his body is wrapped up in National flag! Now his sister could never tell him how much she was missing his pranks! Now his brother could never tell how much he was missing him, now his father could never tell him how much he was proud of him! Now his mother could never tell him that she bought same T shirt that he wanted! The last letter she got from her son! Her son shared a song with her saying that he wrote it when first time he had to live separately from them(his parents):
hold my finger and teach me (to walk) once again,
pick me up, O mother.
wipe my face clean with your scarf,
the world seems to be grimy..
when life shows me eyes (prov., means when life frowns upon me, or tries to scare me)
I am reminded of your anger..
even when you scolded me, it was like flowers..
O mother, why isn’t the entire world like you..
my forehead is feverish since morning,
why don’t you put your palm there on it mother..
‘Did you eat something?
Why are you late?’
— no one asks me here..
you called me a diamond sometimes, and sometimes a gem,
why did you bring me up like that, mother?
this world doesn’t see me with the same eyes as yours,
won’t you scold the world? you will right?
I have to complain against everybody,
all trouble me, mother.
now hide me, call me near you,
I feel lonely here in my heart.
After reading this letter! His mother blurted out all the pain! She cried as much as she could afterall she lost her son! Thou her son was born to die she knew it but the relation between mother and son is a precious one!
These sons of soil never fear anything but God! They sacrifice their life for their motherland! Their bravery is something that we can’t imagine of! What we can just do is pay them Tribute! We can never imagine their hurdles,their hard work, their sacrifices!
“Without heroes, we are all plain people, and don’t know how far we can go.” – Bernard Malamud
