THE ROAD NOT TAKEN.... ROBERT FROST
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference
well Varun is not the poet but Major Varun Bajpai, did serve the Indian Army in many difficult terrains In J&K and the north east...sometimes not reachable for months..
Please talk to him/ us on the blog now..
Some times when we see a person marching with a green Uniform, a batch, and a AK-47 in his hand. We tend to feel that these are the people made out of steel. They don't have any emotions at all. Well, I had the same feeling. But somehow after these lines by the Major, I actually think that life is not so calm in the front. Honestly guys, I really want to know how it feels to be there and guard those borders which were actually never made by them.
ReplyDeleteI hope and sincerely wish that you guys might put this aspect of Men in Green, The Indian Army. The face of the armed force that was never seen before.
