This was me a decade back ......!!!!!!

AN OFFICER AND ......A MOTHER !!

Hello there,

This is my story

My Precious last ten years.

Simple, demure, delicate was I

As people normally describe,

Joins Indian Army,

Clinging to the faith of many well wishers,

"Yes, You have it in you ...you can do it."

Question rises amongst all known

Is this the right profession?

So was I perplexed.

Determined, stern and with vigour

Joins the Army

WOOOO.....!!!!

What was that !!!

A roller coaster ride !!!

Those six months ....In scorching sun,

Beautifully kneaded, moulded and perfected

To adorn the most deserving Green 

The Olive Green 

To become an Army Officer

The next six years

Cruised through the valley of kashmir

With a mission

Committed to a cause ...."AMAN ."

Responsibility increased manifold

To be a role model

Grooming / nurturing the cadets.

Oh Boy .....Am I a good officer?

Yes, Sincere was I to the core

And an asset said my report.

And a successful one ?

Wait Friends....

Story is yet to continue....!

Seventh year

Enters My "MR PERFECT" AN OFFICER

An Army couple...."Made for each other" 

Cheered the crowd.

Now comes the bitter part.

Separation....Enemy of our togetherness

Helpless and desolate

"QUIT" said my hubby dear

Beaming with feminism

"No" Came the answer

Fought like cats and dogs

There goes the marriage, confirmed all.

So deep was his love , his understanding

Held my hand and again 

Together we sailed through 

The Sour and bitter times.

In midst of turbulence and turmoil,

Comes our bundle of joy....Our Son.

I am a Mother now.

"You will always be protected.

Never Will I part with you 

I am always there for you " I Promised

But ....Surprise !

There was something else in store

In peak of summer and midst of stormy desert

This mother was send away from her little one .

Surprise as I said 

Are people blind?

All I ask is to be with my little one.

But the lord of circumstances

Exercises his power on the paltry

Fear makes the bystander mum

Who will bell the cat ....none.

Bygone years flashes in front.

Sacrifice is the word.

The colourful glittery youth

Togetherness with the beloved 

And now .....My Son.

Like a wounded Lion I Roar..

"I QUIT"

Sorry my love, my beloved

Late did I realize, but did I.

"I am not meant for Army

Neither Army for me"

Adieu to all uniformed , disciplined

And highly committed soldiers.

And to my Cadets, now Officers

DARE NOT 

I repeat 

Dare not show your impiety

And disregard and belittle

A uniformed mothers plight.
