For the Fallen

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years contemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.


I dedicate these words from the fourth stanza of poet Laurence Binyon's poem 'For the Fallen' to those 15 policemen and 2 NSG commandos who lay down their lives for their country battling terrorists on the 26th of November.
Their sacrifice is something very distinguished and worthy of mention in the annals of Indian history.

Today as I sit here in my room on my laptop blogging,I pause for a moment and salute these men for their valour.The Good Lord now has another 17 angels with which to guard his gates to Heaven.


You will never be forgotten. May you all rest in peace.
