Yesterday i got a call from my tenth classmate.. i was really surprised n thrilled aswell..becoz, with in these 11 years i didn't even know where he is and what he's doing..on the discussion i came to know that currently he is working in BSF(boarder security force) and he is having one month leave that's why he came to Andhra to stay with his family..one year back he got married and one month back he is blessed with a baby boy...and he said that "it's very difficult for me to leave my wife and child alone, but i've to go"..then i asked "why don't u take ur wife and child with u"..he replied "i can take.. but i 2 don't know where i'll be ..few days i'll be in Jammu and few days i'll be himachal pradesh and few days in some other place.." i was really short of words..to divert the topic i inquire about our classmates and teachers..he also not in touch with many of them but he said what ever he knows.. i asked him "when he's coming next time"? he said "may be after 6 months"..i put the receiver after saying "we'll surely meet next time"..
Immediately i started thinking how difficult it is for him to leave his wife and months baby..ofcourse not only for him..for somany people who are working in military (in the border)..they don't know even whether they can see their wife and children again..on the other side their wives situation is also the same "they don't know what time what news they've to hear".."But in that situation also they are feeling happy becoz they are doing service for the country"...that's what makes them move forward...
After thinking like this ..i really want to say "hats off to the people who are working day and night to protect the country and hats off to their wives aswell"..
I'm really proud today that one of my classmate is in BSF..but on the otherhand i'm really feeling sorry for his situation...hats off my friend...
