Re-Public

Happy Republic Day!!

I watched Uri day before and I am truly truly blessed and proud to be an Indian.

First I'd request and urge every person reading this to watch the movie. Take your friends, family, neighbours along but watch it even if you or the others are not action lovers..

After all, the movie is not just about the action, but about the ones who die for us everyday- our soldiers. It's about their families that they leave behind to go ahead and protect each and everyone of us. It's about the brevity of the army personnel who not only stand by each other but also avenge the lost brothers. It's about the conviction and commitment of the men who pledge to get back and bring everyone with them alive when they go for a mission.

I can go on and on.. but none of my words will do justice to what's in store for you when you watch it. I admire the makers and actors of the movie who did not make just another movie.. They also made us feel the pain, the zeal, every emotion so well. I appreciate the smallest contribution of every single person who put away a normal life for a way thrilling, risky but most rewarding one serving our country..

26/01/1950.. We got our constitution this day and it was drafted keeping in mind the goodness of all of us. Those makers of our constitution would be saddened seeing the situation around us.

Let's not only be one person or a few people. Let's become Re-Public. We may not be intelligent enough to track the plotters, we may not be qualified enough to take security decisions, we may not be strong enough to join the armed forces and die or kill for the nation but there are some things we can still do as citizens.

We have lots of enemies from outside, let's avoid creating enmity within ourselves. Let's not be resilient anymore. Let's help those affected by the coward terrorists. After all they are not content with petrifying just Kashmir. They are creating havoc in all of India.

Let's contribute towards the families of the armed forces. They are braver than all of us to let their sons, husbands, brothers and fathers go out there and face death each day.

Let's be sensitive, caring and helpful and teach our children the same. Let's also teach them not to give in when they see injustice, take a stand and fight when needed.

At the end of the movie, one girl shouted out 'Bharat maata ki' and we all joined screaming 'Jai'. Chorus 'Vande Mataram' echoed in the theatre for a few minutes thereafter. Let's keep that chorus going in our hearts. So whenever we are confronted with conflicting situations, we shall realize that the person in front of us is another Indian just like us.

Stay safe, stay healthy, stay one, stay Indian!!
'Jai Hind'

God bless!!
