Defence Day

Pak Fauj is in my veins and arteries and heart forever (sentiments of an army brat).

However the Fauj that I experienced, growing up in a totally marshal family, was not the Fauj of today.

Those were peaceful days, the days of my youth ...... War on terror had yet to begin !!! Cantonments were happy places, safe places, fun places ... Families were stable and complete ....

Alas, the Fauji bachay of today live in constant fear for the safety of their fathers .... Every officer is directly or indirectly linked to the horrors of war inside our borders ; everyday a shaheed's family cries in some cantonment or the other. Posting seasons are a time of fearful anticipation. A stint in Waziristan or on the borders leaves officers and their families distraught; the stress is too much and too real.

I salute the officers, soldiers and the families of today's Army for not backing off and not giving in despite the fatal conditions....
