AN ODE TO LATE COL NEERAJ SOOD
(WHO LAID DOWN HIS LIFE ON 23 JUNE IN J&K WHILE CHASING MILITANTS)
REST IN PEACE.O! MY BROTHER-IN-ARMS.
FOR YOU WISHED VERY YOUNG,
TO BE THUS DESTINED.
EXPECT NOT YOUR COUNTRYMEN,
OR POLITICAL MASTERS
TO MOURN OR GIVE A TRIME.
FOR THEM YOUR LIFE IS YET ANOTHER BRINE.
TV CHANNELS WILL SHOW A FLICK OR TWO,
SO WILL PRINT MEDIA DO.
BUT ALL WILL BE FORGOTTEN
IN ANOTHER DAY OR TWOONLY YOUR FAMILY WILL CARRY THE CROSS
OF MISSING SON, BROTHER
HUSBAND OR FATHER
FOR REST OF THEIR LIFE.
REST IN PEACE.
O! MY BROTHER-IN-ARMS.
FOR YOU WISHED VERY YOUNG,
TO BE THUS DESTINED.
