Sorry for the interruption. You are probably busy with your routine chores. Or entangled with the ongoing Lok Sabha polls. Or may be wondering why Mumbai Indians are displaying a pathetic show in the current IPL 7th Edition. The endless tirades and counter-tirades between Modi and Rahul. Actor-Politician Siranjeev bids to jump the polling queue……
Major Mukund, the true hero
Spare a moment. You may be aware of the recent news of the death of Maj. Mukund Varadarajan. On 27/04/2014, the nation bid adieu to the brave Major Mukund. The 31-year old was at the call of duty, when he was killed in a terrorist encounter at Kashmir. Unmindful of the hardships and dangers, he pursued the path of duty. A martyr, a hero, Maj. Mukund will be remembered for his great sacrifice. He is a great source of inspiration for a selfless generation to come.
We
all experience loss of somebody extremely dear at different times in our
lives. It was a touching moment when the
martyr’s three-year old daughter, Arshreya, was asked to say “Good night and
Good bye” to her father as the cortege left the house for the final abode. A family broken apart. Parents lost their beloved son, wife lost her
loving husband and daughter lost her father.
The parents must be saluted for gifting the nation a brave son. It is
perfectly understandable about the predicaments of the family.
“He
was crazy about being in the Army and fighting from when he was three. I have lost my son but I am proud he lay down
his life for the country” reportedly said a composed R. Varadarajan, father of Major
Mukund.
I,
like many of my fellow citizens, owe my peaceful breathe to great souls like
the Major Mukund, and often taken for granted
by many of us.
Mr.
Abdul Ghani, a social activist, is initiating a five-minute film as a tribute
to Major Mukund depicting his selfless contributions to the nation, followed by
prayers and eminent people addressing the family. The event will be
held on 20/05/2014 at Chinmaya Mission, Chennai.
Tamilnadu
should name an important junction in Chennai in memory of this brave hero so
that the future generations will come to know about him and his selfless
sacrifice to the cause of this nation.
Salute
to the great officer who laid his today for our tomorrow.
May his soul Rest in Peace!
A word of anguish
Media could have bestowed a better coverage and
prominence. Crimes and scams always grab the headlines. Sensationalism is the divine clause of the
media in reserving the space. In fact the front page, of late, doesn’t belong
to the newspaper front page, rather the entire page is sold to the advertisers.
A Heartrending Poem by Indhu Rebecca Varghese W/o. Major
Mukund Varadarajan
There lived a man who loved me with all his heart...There lived a man who fathered my child....
There lived a man who believed in integrity....
There lived a man who loved his profession....
There lived a man who never feigned to be a hero....
There lived a man who was my soul....
There lived a man with a heart full of generosity...
There lived a man who revealed all to me....
There lived a man who loved me with his life.....
But .....now I wait.....
for he is with god..
I know this for sure..
One day I will meet him...
I know this for sure...
And he will give me that warm strong hug of his
I know this for sure...
And I will not complain that I can't breath
I know this for sure
You can hug me..hug me all you want....
