Respect : For my Fallen Comrades

By Hammad Anwar Follow @manihammad The recent tragedy at Gayari Sector which recently cost us 135 precious lives has again highlighted the Sachin issue. The highest battlefield in the world, where both countries have lost almost 6200 lives and most of them at the hands of the cruel weather there. It is another tragic day for the country whose media spent most of time highlighting a "private trip" to our neighbors which was carried out by using 2 planes, carrying 40 people and $1million. Regardless of the fact who was at the fault in 1984 at Siachin issue, it is a sad day in the history of country.

Call your life a failure or a success, whether you are rich or poor, it doesn’t matter because at the end of the day, in whatever conditions and circumstances you ARE living the life. Let’s talk about my life, started about two decades ago; the first thing I noticed around me was my family. And to be honest till today, my family is the important thing for me. Growing up with a caring and lovely parents and having a fine childhood may not be a thing worthy to be noticed by many of us, but lets stop for a moment and think about the people of countries like Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia or Ethiopia. There half of the children are born orphan or loose their parents even before they even learn to say dad and mom. Let it be the war we have imposed on them or the hunger and lack of basic necessiti
