It’s a matter of surprise that the “mentally unstable” Indian soldier who shot himself, albeit on video for a change, expects a nutritious meal, when soldiers are either dying or scheduled to become martyrs on the Syrian, Iraqi, Afghan, French, German, Palestinian, Israel, Ukrainian, Crimean and Mexican borders? So many wars, so many borders; isn’t the world relatively peaceful in India? And still, the Indian soldier can’t think beyond a meal? I mean, come on, within India, too, commoners die of hunger, starvation, demonetization and demonization, every second. What’s more, the country’s forever-young leaders dye for power, position, money and status, every passing minute. But do these true patriots ever ask, let alone expect, a healthy and nutritious meal? Ab ki baar toh samajh na yaar, bhookh aur pyaas ki lambi hoti hai kataar.
