The Ultimate Sacrifice

We all use the word sacrifice
We have let go of something
For our loved ones
Or for the greater good
This could be simple as a chocolate
Or even a relationship
Though all of might not boast about it
We still pride ourselves of the fact
At least to ourselves
We feel good about it
And replay that memory on a cold day
However most of us do not know
The real meaning of the term
It means putting other’s need first
At the cost of sacrificing our own
Every day soldiers die
To protect the nameless faces of the nation
And that is the ultimate sacrifice

The emotions can range from Happiness, sorrow, loneliness and anger. Still the emotions controlled her and stole her sleep many nights. ...

Digital India - A shortcut to Safer India

Digital India – A vision by the government, An expectation by the youth, A mystery for the public What does digital India mean? This question which pops into everyone’s mind and heart when they hear the term. It may also seem as an unattainable fruit to some. This is true to some extent. But this will definitely create a great change in the life of every individual. More than anything, I see this as stepping stone towards a safer nation. Safe nation is slowly becoming a distant dream. Some blame the women. Some blame the men. But maybe both and to some extent the nation as a whole is also responsible. Men harass women because they think they are helpless and vulnerable. Women allow this because they think men are stronger. Indians are not heartless enough to allow a crime happen right in front of their nose. Sometimes they become worried about the consequences of helping others. Thanks to the laws and corruption. I have always wondered what would be the hope and thought of a ...
