Friends in the Olive Greens, - - - - - -

A few things have happened in last few days,
a long lost 'course mate' visited me , driven by despair,
a real logjam he is in,
and no way to go - accept the courts,
in spite of all the assurances and hope he had placed on this visit,
he couldn't really get what he had hoped for,
he has reasons to feel bad,
what he is being denied of,
has been given to many before him,
continues to be given to many , even now ,
and will continue to be given to many more in future.
So what is his fault,
Wrong timing, and plain bad luck.
And the manner in which the law takes its course,
life is tough and unreasonably so, for some,
what he stands to loose is a few 'Laks' of hard earned money,
and more importantly,
the faith in the system.
 Is there fair play, NO,
does the same rule apply to all in the same way, NO,

take heart friend,
this too shall pass

Another of my friend is nearing the end of a service privilege,  the 'Study leave'
'Sukh bhare din beete re bhaiya,
ab dukh aayo re,'
or so he feels
now the same prospect stares him
uncertainty of postings,
unannounced travels
and same old routine
and sans family this time, to fall back to , at the end of the day,
I am taking perverse pleasure in all this,
I have been in this state for quite some time now,
so welcome to  the party Bro
ha, ha, ha ,,,,,,,

to you too dear,
this too shall pass,

'LIFE' in general and  in the Army in particular as they say 'is a big leveler'
you win some, you loose some
and if I have not said this before, --------
remember,
 
both of 'You'

KABHI KISI KO MUQAMMAL JAHAAN NAHIN MILTA,
