Dear soldier,
I always knew that the life of a soldier is rugged, demanding and arduous. However, two years back when I met an army man, Major Vikram Kumar Singh, who was in the same train in which I was traveling, I saw how a soft family person lives inside a tough soldier. It was a short meeting, around two or three hours, but our chat shook me. The officer was going home after two years. At the time he was posted in Pampore in Kashmir where a recent militant attack had happened. He told me about the casualties there and many other things about an army man's life.
No doubt, his life is rocky. I realised that it is not easy to stay confident when every other day your friends die, fighting for the country. And this is the case for every soldier who is unreservedly working for the good of our nation. Amazingly, during his talks, not once did he regret that he is an army man.
