Dear Soldier, You’re an Idol for So Many of Us

Akash Bhakri sends his ‘Sandesh to a Soldier’ from Phillaur.

Dear soldier,

I would like to thank you for safeguarding us. I realise that many of the wounds on your body are because you make sure others remain scratch-free.

As a child, whenever I saw somebody in uniform, I dreamt to don it one day. Even my mother used to say, ‘they're the real superheroes – the real Batman, Superman and Spiderman’.
