Hello, this is the Commander of the 1st Regiment speaking. What? Where am I? Nope, not on the border to maintain law and order. Didn't I tell you, we were asked to clean trash on the Himalayas? Yes, the legendary bosses are so happy with the Army's work on the Himalayas, they have now asked us to construct footover bridges at Elphinstone Road, Thane and Currey Road railway stations. An order is an order, and we aren't trained to say no to duty. Nope, none of the Defence Ministers have ever been in the line of fire on the border; they give a lot of speeches while trying to keep a straight face. In fact, some Prime Ministers have also celebrated Diwali in a half-clad Army uniform, looking like they just enrolled for Kindergarten. Yes, in all probability, those who were responsible for the rail bridge stampede, and those who are supposed to look after the bridges will still keep their jobs, get promoted and go on a sponsored vacation to Kutch, Kashmir and Kanyakumari. Honestly, if you ask me, handling Nawaz on the border is much easier, you know. Anyway, let me hang up, just overheard some talk about construction of toilets for "Swachh Bharat Abhiyan". Over and out. #JaiJawanJaiKisanHeyBhagwaan #BuildBridgesDigRidges
