Dear Alka,
1 How are you ?I am reading
Deep in my heart With some breaks,here and there Soon absorb this piece of art Meanwhile, to a poetess Story of a soldier Narrated in dream 'O' our men on frontier 2 Would select my favourites out of very impressive line up of 65 soon and revert. Best wishes Air Vice Marshal Rakesh Yadav
Subject: Final posting
Last night while sleeping
I died. . or so it seemed
Then I went to heaven
But only in my dream
Up there my Record Keeper met me
Standing at the Entry Gates,
He said, "I must check your record...
Please stand here and wait."
He turned and said "Your record
Is covered with terrible flaws,
On earth I see you rallied
For every losing cause."
I see that you drank rum,
smoked and killed too,
Fact is, you've done everything
A good person should never do.
We can't have people like you up here....
Throughout your life all you did was hear,
You carried out orders without pausing to think.
You never asked for instructions in ink..
Then he read the last of my record
And his eyes grew moist.
He took my hand gently and said,
"Come in.
'You stood in isolated places and shivered alone
You left your kith, kin, hearth and home
You come from an unresponsive, ungrateful nation
You were denied your rights by every Pay Commission'
He led me up to the Caretaker of Heaven ...
"Take him in and treat him well,
He has served in the Indian Military ...
He's done his time in Hell. "
