The needle pierced his left wrist as he fell unconcious, struggling for life. There was lots of activity around him, people were shouting for aid, for blankets to cover him up and he was lifted up on a stertcher. He was brought to the medical camp from where he was rushed to a multi speciality research and referral hospital, in some other state.
The doctors soon kept him on the life supporting system. The oxygen mask covered his face and the monitor attached nearby displayed his sinking heart beat and pulse rate. His skin was as pale as the cresent moon, devoid of blood, and 

the fingers were frost bitten.



The senior doctors in the hospital kept a constant vigil, keeping a close eye on his deteriorating condition.
He was still unconcious. The needle that pierced his left wrist left its blue mark. I.V fluid costantly dripped and went into his body through another needle piercing his hand.
"He has acquired a chronic pneumonia, and also he would need a kidney transplant", the doctors said. "Some parts of the lungs are completely damaged and are beyond recovery but we're trying our best", said another senior specialist.
Meanwhile, among all this, he regained conciousness for one last time and smiled. For he knew he served his purpose and it's the time to leave. To leave with valour, with pride.
The curved lines on the monitor attached to his heart became straight, as his hand hung loose, lifeless. The consistent trauma he was suffering from past 10 days finally came to an end.
He was a soldier and this was the only battle till date he lost, the battle of life..
A tribute to Martyr Hanumanthappa koppad, (19 Madras) and all the martyrs of siachen, who depicted a very high degree of valour and courage.
As the nation mourns the loss of our gems, I write for them to pay my homage, as it is the least I can do.
They will always continue to live..in our hearts.
RIP bravehearts..!!!

  2. Humanity :(Poem).

    “To err is human, to forgive, divine.”

    “The Seven Social Sins are:

    Wealth without work.
    Pleasure without conscience.
    Knowledge without character.
    Commerce without morality.
    Science without humanity.
    Worship without sacrifice.
    Politics without principle.

    Smoldering wreckage,
    Tear-stained haze.
    Those were the dawns
    Of the early days.
    They shouldn’t have flown
    Or so it appeared
    But they thundered through
    That atmosphere.
    We designed beasts of beauty
    With marvelous, unstable bellies.
    But they flew!
    Oh how they flew!
    Until they didn’t.
    And it was little wonder
    When we realized
    We failed .
    We rode out on a dream
    And briefly,
    We woke up.
    The sole meaning of life is to serve humanity.
    Crime against the individual is the equivalent of crime against humanity.
    “Whoever saves one life, saves the world entire.
    “God save us from people who mean well.”
    Life is to be lived, not controlled; and humanity is won by continuing to play in face of certain defeat.”
    “If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other.”
    We can know only that we know nothing. And that is the highest degree of human wisdom.”
    “I love mankind, he said, "but I find to my amazement that the more I love mankind as a whole, the less I love man in particular.”
    “You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is like an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty.” “Let the first act of every morning be to make the following resolve for the day. I shall not fear anyone on Earth.
    Ages of experience have taught humanity that the commitment of a husband and wife to love and to serve one another promotes the welfare of children and the stability of society.
    When freedom does not have a purpose, when it does not wish to know anything about the rule of law engraved in the hearts of men and women, when it does not listen to the voice of conscience, it turns against humanity and society.
    In a world of democracies, in a world where the great projects that have set humanity on fire are the projects of the emancipation of individuals from entrenched social division and hierarchy; in such a world individuals must never be puppets or prisoners of the societies or cultures into which they have been born.
    Child slavery is a crime against humanity. Humanity itself is at stake here. A lot of work still remains, but I will see the end of child labor in my lifetime.
    I think music in itself is healing. It's an explosive expression of humanity. It is something we are all touched by. No matter what culture we're from, everyone loves music.
    There is no present.
    We are living in the future.
    Risk, risk, risk
    We are all risk
    Risking to go,
    Risking to die,
    Risking to learn.
    Risking to fly.
    We have made it.
    We are ancient as we speak.
    We are living in the future.

    So some give their lives to history.
    We are history.
    So some give their lives to us.
    Humanity has been challenged.
    They have challenged humanity.
    We have risen out of the ashes
    That are not ashes.
    We have picked ourselves up
    Out of the oceans
    Over and over again

    We learn that we’re not safe
    So we redesign.
    We learn that we are wrong,
    So we scrap and start a new.
    We try again.

    They call back to us,
    "Please, try again!
    Over my departed dreams,
    Try, try again!"

    We the undernourished,
    We the underfunded,
    We the constrained,
    We the brave,
    The daring,
    The curious,
    The planet,
    The humans.
    Life.
    We are nothing if not inspired.
    We will find a way
    To our stars.
    From whence the atoms in our souls
    Were fashioned.

    We are Challenger.

    I am a Challenger.

    A Challenger Challenges only?
    To deny people their human rights is to challenge their very humanity.
