    1. It’s difficult to imagine when we think about the ‘reaching the mantle’, Raph. It’s about starting I guess. Making the first move. That usually starts making the difference instantly..

    1. That is a really apt line. Lowlife politicians don’t give soldiers the respect they deserve when it comes to incidents regarding violation of LoC by pakistan, or pakis mutilating bodies of Indian soldiers, etc. At least Indian citizens should acknowledge their innumerable sacrifices.

      My post was also an attempt to make people focus on worthier causes than themselves. I really don’t know if it is synonymous with developing countries, or consistent the world over, but a lot of us here in India tend to get caught up in our hunt for bread and butter and sometimes even our entertainment, that we have come to knowingly or unknowingly marginalize other people’s lives in the process.
