Soldier's Love

Hai Friends,

Recently I received a mail regarding  Indian soldiers who has sacrificed their life's for our nation and among them I fell more pathetic when I read one of the soldier's story So I decided to write about that in my blog.

 Capt. Vijayant Thapar (Robin)







Childhood :
        Born in 1977, His father Colonel V.N Thapar, is a retired officer. Vijayant always wanted to be in the Army. His favourite toys were guns. He would wear his father's peak cap, take his cane and march around like an officer.

       A lasting memory of his child hood was Robin running around sprawling garden, with his two dogs, Hirni and Alca chasing butterflies, catching dragon flies. In the evening he would be in the Paltan (Battalion), watching wrestlers, boxers and other sportsman . At the age of four or five he had already fired a pistol sitting in his dads embrace .

             Vijyant was always inspired by the talks of his father's exploits and his Uncle's various experiences in the Air Force. Vijyant's first love was to be a fighter pilot. However, he was very happy to join the infantry like his father.

            At about this time he was in love with an exceedingly lovely girl with sparkling eyes and a dazzling smile. Unfortunately the war cut shot the beautiful love story.

Beautiful scribblings of Capt Vijyant in his Diary

Battle Field

Ruksana :

            The six year - old Ruksana lost her speech when her father was brutally murdered by militants in front of her eyes in her village in Kupwara district of Jammu and Kashmir, but she was soon to discover her knight in shinning armour when a company of two Rajputana Rifles moved into her school in Kandi village. The 22-year old officer met her through the principal of the school and started loving the child immensely. Capt. Thapar and his "sahayak" Sepoy Jagmal Singh Shekhawat, who also died next to his "saheb" in the battle to capture the "Knoll" feature in Drass sub-sector, used to steal away from the unit and visit Ruksana each evening and take sweets and toffees for her.

 Letter describing war field : 

 Final words from a 22yr old jawan to their parents : 

Father's Message :

Son,

                 The brave way you left this world, at the age of 22 is a measure of how you lived your short life and what you valued. In meeting the stark challenges of capturing Knoll against all odds, during the battle of Three Pimples with heroic coolness and single minded devotion to duty, you have achieved immortal honour. In death you have epitomised the spirit of national pride - an honour which makes every sacrifice worthwhile. Your actions will forever inspire generations of Indians to come. You have left us with pride for being the parents of a worthy son and a lifetime of pain for having lost a child we loved.
                                                                                                                                 -- Col. V.N. Thapar

meet you all next week with an interesting topic that describes the LOVE

" Love never fades but do Love change from one person to another.. Part III "

It was almost 4 months the course had started now they had campus placement. since, Sandeep had a previous work experience in multimedia he got placed in a world famous company. Pooja too got a job in a company due to a recommendation letter. Fate played again a big role in my friend's life he was not able to get placed.

2 months passed and now it is almost 6 months, classes got over and both Sandeep and pooja started going to job. My friend and Rehana started searching job. During evening all used to meet together at beach.

since, my friend was in search of job he didnt find time to meet all friends together and even Pooja. slowly both started to fight that "cant you spend one hour for your loved one".

It was my friend's 10th day of searching job. that night he still remembers it was around 8p.m. My Friend and Sandeep were discussing about the nature of job. Suddenly a call came to Sandeep, Sandeep just said to my friend that an office colleague is calling, so he took the phone and left to terrace. my friend tried calling pooja since sandeep was out at terrace but it was saying "busy". nearly after 1 and half an hour Pooja called my friend and at the same time Sandeep also came back from terrace. My friend asked Pooja what happened and she too said that there was an urgent delivery of a document so she was busy with office Team Leader.

It was 9.30pm and that was the first day he started drinking, thinking about each and every moment that happened on that day and started crying and started drinking.

From next day onwards he stopped searching for job and started think too much about Pooja.

he was not able to understand what happened to Pooja. He was not able to ask her about this since he was thinking that "we should not doubt our loved ones" He was expecting each and every day that either Pooja nor Sandeep will say what has happened, but both never opened their mouth regarding the relationship they had.


My friend started drinking each day and no food. now he also joined with Henry and started having drugs also. How much a heart can cry but the body does not that much capacity to withstand. Suddenly he got admitted in hospital and doctors confirmed that it was jaundice.

He came to hometown "Tanjore" and I was shocked by seeing him full of beard and he was very very lean even I was not able to identify him. I asked him what happened he said he had jaundice so he has come to take rest. but when I went regularly to his home to enquire about his health then only he said the reason for jaundice. I got really shocked by listening to that.

He was my best friend and I was in a situation where I was not able to do anything for him. That night I too didn't get sleep. Finally I decided that in this situation I should try to recover my friend from this tragedy. Then I decided that until and unless he recovers from jaundice I should not allow him to spend even a single minute alone so that he may start thinking about Pooja.

It was almost 1 month, we both were very close It was march 22, I saw some smile in my friends face. The first day in my life where tears came out of my eyes because of happiness. I encouraged him that past is past "Machi unna katikka andha ponnuku than kudutu vaikula" dont worry you will get a nice job and I know that you will shine before them in your career.

It was march 30 the day he left Tanjore to Chennai in search of job. No beard full of smile and happiness in face, I dropped him at railway station. One more thing I forgot to say one that day I gave some insurance documents of one of my friend who resides in chennai so that he may come and collect.


On April 2nd I tried calling my friend and he was not picking up the call. next day when I tried it was saying switched off. So I called my friend whose insurance document I sent through my friend and he said that he didnt come on 1st april since he had some work, and on april 2nd my friend said that he had one small accident so he wil handover the documents next week.

I got shocked by hearing this news and I decided to leave to chennai to meet him but suddenly call came from him that a school girl came and fell before his bike when he was driving, so he said it was a minor injury and he is perfectly alright.

But Still I had doubt in my mind so I decided to meet him on weekend. It was Saturday morning and I was there in chennai, directly I went to meet him and I got shocked by seeing him at home he had full of scratches in right hand and right leg. I asked him what happened he said again that a school girl came in front of bike suddenly and he was not able to control the bike so he fell.


I knew that he is lying so, one more time I asked him what happened, he said that "Machi One April 1st morning I came to chennai at 9.30 since train came late and from there I came directly to room and Sandeep was not there I thought he would have gone to office so I thought I will take rest today and tomorrow onwards I should try to get a job seriously, so I went to marina beach and spoke with the waves of ocean that I am going to live a different life from today onwards, no love nothing. I came back to one of the benches that was there in marina beach and I sat there, suddenly I heard a voice and I turned towards my right It was Pooja and Sandeep together on next bench, I dont know what to say to both of them, Pooja asked me How is health and Suddenly Sandeep said to pooja I need to leave are you coming, Pooja left and I was mad again. took my bike from the stand and went directly from service road  into the main road where the signal was still red on my side. when I came to conscious I was there in hospital"  

Seriously Speaking I wanted to kill my friend there itself but what to do by seeing him only tears was only flowing out of my eyes.

Now tell me Halley whose mistake is that, His love towards pooja is still there and he is not able to forget her but pooja's love and affection has changed from my friend to Sandeep. Now my friend has got a job and he is also earning more than both of them but still he is not successful in love.

Hai Friends,
As I said in starting I write this blog in order to get the opinion and views from my friends as well as experts who has something to say about love. Please suggest me some Ideas to recover these kind of persons from such difficult situation.

Hope to see some good suggestion.

Meet you all next week.. Bye and Take care

Love never fades but do Love change from one person to another.. Part II

It was August 2008, My friend finally decided to join a course, which was in multimedia and it costed around 80,000 for just 6 months and his parents also said OK. Prelims nearly 2000 fresh graduated appeared for the 35 seats. No doubt my friend cleared prelims and finally he moved from tanjore to the capital of tamilnadu, chennai."


As my friend came to chennai, within 1 week of his arrival I got transfer to my home town "Tanjore".

Friends are the first relationship that we have where ever we go, after joining the college he was there in a gang of 5 friends, 2 girls and 3 boys.Pooja, Rehana, Sandeep, Henry and my Friend.

Henry's is from chennai and he is a son of millionare so he used to come from his home itself

Sandeep and My Friend shared a room in a PG, similarly Pooja and Rehana stayed together in a PG that was indeed 4 Kms away.

In college all the five used to sit on a same desk and used to share about interesting things that happened in their earlier life and sometimes used to crack jokes.
Henry was the jolly and jovial person and they used to tease him. He used to be a full time saraku party, so they used to call him "bothai". Even some times he used to have drinks early morning and come to college and that day he will be not opening his mouth in the class and these four used to tease him a lot.

It is indeed a beautiful picture to recall whenever we think about our school and college life. Friends are indeed a good relationship where God himself appears to us and correct us.

Nearly 1 month passed the bond of friendship became stronger and stronger, as soon as college ends they used to sit at beach and chat upto night 8 or 9 and in most of times "bothai" will be absent. so, four used to be chat and roam. slowly they started to bunk the classes and go to movies.

Here comes the twist, suddenly one day Pooja said clearly to my friend that she is in love. My friend on other end never ever expected this from her. He was considering all the four as friends. He knew that when love comes problem starts and he dont want to face these things. He was clear about these things and like a monk he advised Pooja that "our friends will feel bad if we both are in love".

But pooja was confident about her love, as these people used to sit together and chat, pooja used to stare at my friend continuously. Even my friend was feeling the heat and was not knowing what is happening within him. suddenly after 2 week he also started feeling that he was in love with Pooja and accepted her proposal.


"Love is indeed a beautiful feeling and I was feeling nostalgic"

My friend was clear about one thing that in no situation the relationship should be known to other 3 friends and he said this clearly to pooja.

After going back to PG pooja used to call my friend and without knowing to sandeep my friend used to run to terrace and used to talk whole night. slowly they started speaking all nonsense & censored things hope you will understand the conversation that would had happened between lovers.

Now the age of their relationship became two months, and now both started meeting alone, without the friends presence at restaurant, park and beach. My friend forced his parents and got a new bike since Sandeep was having one and pooja was fond of going ride in bike.

It was November 25 the day still my friend remember. the day on which he got his first kiss from pooja. Indeed boys are also good he dont wanted to have that with him so he gave her back.

"Aporam".. hmmm he did not say anything further about that.

Everything was fine untill one day when pooja started speaking about her caste and the status of their parents. she indeed had love with him but other conscious was reminding her about her parents, caste and status. My friend was shocked.

To be continued.....
