A tribute to Soldiers

“Balduram ka badan zameen ke niche hai , Balduram ka badan zameen ke niche hai , Toh hame uska rashan milta hai …….”

Well , you must be wondering what type of song is this . Right ? Well it is the Marching song of the 'Assam Regiment' . This is a song which I and my father often sing and dance on .

                   My father dreamt to be an army man , but due to some circumstances he could not join the army . Still , he is very fond of the army and often tells me about the great army men and the missions  of the army .

Now I have also become fond of the army life and wish I could also get a chance to live the life of a soldier or army officer.  It felt like God listened to my wish as I got a chance to act like a soldier in my school's  annual function .  I became very excited as soon as my teacher told me this  .

I participated in the item - Tribute to Soldiers . It was an honour to dress up in a soldier's  attire . The item depicted the life of a soldier . It was based on the 'URI' and 'PULWAMA' Attacks . It was proud and emotional for us to dance and act the life of a soldier - how strong they are , how tough situations they face and how they make so many sacrifices for our country .  The audience praised our performance and our item even brought tears in their eyes .

                   It was an amazing journey learning the choreography , practising and performing in front of the huge audience . I and my friends also had a lot of fun backstage .

At last , a hearty Thank You to all the soldiers who are ready to protect us under any circumstances without thinking about themselves and their families .  

A true soldier fights not because he hates what is in front of him , but because he loves what is behind him .
