SPARE A THOUGHT....... You stay up for 16 hours. He stays up for days on end... You call up your office to say that you are not well & wont be coming to work; getting shot does not stop him from moving forward to complete his assignment.. You gossip about your friends in a gathering. He knows, heart to heart, he may not meet some of his buddies again.. You drive on the hilly roads, enjoying the scenery. He dominates the countryside, even in the darkness, to keep you safe... You talk about climatic change sitting in an AC room, he wears his heavy gear in that hot climate... You go out to lunch in a restaurant, he survives in jungle on whatever he gets.. You care for your gizmos, he cares for his weapon more than anything else.. You take your wife out for shopping, he holds her letter to smell the perfume.. You teach your baby to walk, he sees his baby growing up in pictures.. You talk of collateral damage, he ensures that you are evacuated first, even though he is also injured.. You send your child to school, he builds schools in remote areas.. You sleep at home in peace, he is on guard at the border to ensure your peace.. You crawl into your soft bed comfortably every night, his assignments usually starts when darkness falls.. You get accolades for standing second in class, for him there are no runners up in war.. You remember him and God during war, post war he is forgotten......... SPARE A THOUGHT.....HE IS YOUR SOLDIER
