Rudyard Kipling"
“When you're left wounded on Afganistan's plains and
the women come out to cut up what remains, Just roll to your rifle
and blow out your brains,
And go to your God like a soldier”
General Douglas MacArthur"
“We are not retreating. We are advancing in another direction.”
“It is fatal to enter any war without the will to win it.” “Old soldiers never die; they just fade away.
“The soldier, above all other people, prays for peace, for he must suffer and be the deepest wounds and scars of war.”
“May God have mercy upon my enemies, because I won't .” “The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his.
“Nobody ever defended, there is only attack and attack and attack some more.
“It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived.
The Soldier stood and faced God
Which must always come to pass
He hoped his shoes were shining
Just as bright as his brass
"Step forward you Soldier,
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To My Church have you been true?"
"No, Lord, I guess I ain't
Because those of us who carry guns
Can't always be a saint."
I've had to work on Sundays
And at times my talk was tough,
And sometimes I've been violent,
Because the world is awfully rough.
But, I never took a penny
That wasn't mine to keep.
Though I worked a lot of overtime
When the bills got just too steep,
The Soldier squared his shoulders and said
And I never passed a cry for help
Though at times I shook with fear,
And sometimes, God forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.
I know I don't deserve a place
Among the people here.
They never wanted me around
Except to calm their fears.
If you've a place for me here,
Lord, It needn't be so grand,
I never expected or had too much,
But if you don't, I'll understand."
There was silence all around the throne
Where the saints had often trod
As the Soldier waited quietly,
For the judgment of his God.
"Step forward now, you Soldier,
You've borne your burden well.
Walk peacefully on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in Hell."
Everyone Started Crying When Real Life Victim Shared Her Story - The Kerala Story
Sunday, May 28, 2023
Being a Bengali Brahmin, and belonging to a family where I have "only" seen my maa doing pujas at home, I have never seen my father bowing before any deity, but he has always provided my maa with all the requirements for the pujas.
I was never confused. No one on Earth can dare to convert me. I have been working in a Christian missionary school for more than 2 decades, nothing and nobody can change my faith. I may not have all the answers about my religion but that does not make me a prey to these predators. On the contrary my husband and I have taught the Hindu rituals to our kids. My son, an engineer who is 26 years old, doesn't miss a day without doing his meditation and chanting of the beej mantra of Krishna, despite being awfully busy with his job. So is my daughter. I took my teenager daughter for this movie so that she realises the dark reality of these predators and never makes any such mistake in her life.
Bow down to entire team of the kerala story for bringing out truth and inhumane things happened to innocent girls and bow down to brave victims who came to share their suffering boldly knowing their life will be in danger.
