Trust Me, Boss!

As the first female member of the bomb-squad, Liza was often the object of attention.

Initially, when she seemed lost in wires, onlookers remarked, “Women are not wired for this!”

But, Liza never gave up.

The squad’s young leader seemed to understand her perfectly.

He knew what drove Liza.

Her husband was one of the innocent victims of a bomb-blast.

His father too had been killed...

12 Points For Responsible Citizens #WorkForBharat #writebravely

India has always been under threat from enemies. History stands as a testimony how many invaders have plundered our nation over the ages. In the present age, there are many threats to our India’s unity, integrity and peace. With the massive reach of Social Media and technology, there must be judicious use of apps and gadgets. While we are quick to enjoy our freedom and rights, we must not forget our duties, making sure we go through all the check-posts and tunnels on our journey to ensure a safe nation.

We need to nurture and be nurtured as responsible citizens. Our action and involvement must increase especially when our nation faces crises.

Here is a list of 12 things we as responsible citizens can do every day:

True Soldier

No strings attached,
You offer your help.
Motherland comes first,
"Service before self".

"Service and loyalty",
Duty and dedication,
Sacrifice and valour,
Love for your nation.

You can stand or crouch
At a stretch for hours.
You must be a superman,
With amazing powers.

Bread

I went across the border to earn my butter & bread.
Monsters bombed & targeted & hunted down the suspected.

The killings scared, bleak future, web ahead; I'm glad I fled...
My family was relieved to see me back alive; not a bug dead...

What's My Crime? #PeshawarAttack

16th December 2014 morning,
I was snug under my blanket,
Peacefully sleeping and dreaming.
Mom woke me up saying we'll get late...

The first day at school for me- a 5-year-old!
Mom made me wear my new dress.
Also my warm clothes lest I feel cold.
Papa said his little princess looked fresh!

At Home

The four friends hugged together. 

“We’ll succeed in our mission for our home, won’t we?”

 “There's a place in Heaven for us, isn’t it?”

 

HOLIDAY- Movie Review

Director A.R.Murugadoss's movie- "Holiday: A Soldier is never off duty" is 170 minutes long. It has Akshay Kumar, Sonakshi Sinha, Sumeet Raghavan and newcomer Farhad in key roles. Govinda has a cameo appearance. Holiday is the second Bollywood offering by the Director. It has his first Bollywood film- Ghajini's hangover/glimpses in certain scenes - viz. display of maps, pics and info on the walls. I felt Holiday is a bit too long and needed better editing.
