A SOLDIERS STORY




A Young 28 year old, extremely handsome, Indian Army combat officer gets married to a 20 year old, extremely beautiful, elegant, and charming bubbly young girl. It was an arrange marriage. The Army officer was, from a humble but from a family of educationalist, the young girl belonged to a very rich, illustrious and sophisticated family, and naturally a difference of shade, in culture, upbringing and life style between the two was apparent. The young officer, a self-made man, possessing a very high quality of self-esteem, self- respect, virtue and pride, was against dowry or any kind of help monetary or otherwise from any one.
These were the rare qualities; in this dashing young Army combat Officer, which made this bubbly young girl, fall in love with him straightaway. They left for the Army cantonments to lead a simple, clean, honest, secluded and happy life. The Army officer took active part in 1965 and 1971 war; and fought gallantry, hanging his uniform in 1974, at the age of 48.
To their dismay they found, that the world outside the cantonment was scary and terrible. People had tons of money and property, they were filthy rich. The soldier was, for a shock! His sacrifice dedication to the Nation, periling his life and that of his family was inconsequential to the Nation. The Fauji's, only worth and attraction to public, was liquor and items from the CSD Canteen.
For their two young sons, they were fighters, survivors, and someone, who, in spite of all odds, were the epitome of dignity, decency, honesty and an idol. Army was to become their passion and not emolument. Years later, both joined the Indian Army as Officers.
