  JUNGLE DIARY OF A SOLDIER Part 5  5. Last Encounter and probably last diary entry Though I picked up pen to write my potential last entry into this diary I am not sure whether I will be able to finish this owing to my quivering hands caused by three bullets in my back. I think my mind will dwell into infinity with other souls before I see another human being.” What I am going to write is not a contrivance but it happen with many soldiers out there who are living in harsh condition to protect their country and their people. It seems that this jungle love me more than anybody else in the world. It doesn’t want me and my brothers to get out of here alive. We got attacked by our enemies who were probably waiting for us to come to that valley by which we were going to pass. Sudden attack didn’t offered enough time to fire back, due to which many of us got shot including me. Though somehow we managed to nullify enemies attack with rebound fierce attack we got severely wounded. Of ...

  JUNGLE DIARY OF A SOLDIER  Part 4  4. Bad news and enemy counter  After the dawn, unexpectedly crew of new men reached to our camp. But to our astonishment there were only ten soldiers. To our anxious curiosity we got to know that they encountered enemy on their route wherein our two more soldiers were injured who were carried by three back to base camp. No sad conversation ever brought as much disappointment to me as this one did. It was like we wanted lunch but have to adjust on breakfast during starvation but that breakfast is also valuable in such circumstances. We knew it deep in our hearts that whenever there occurred battle in history there occurred casualties on both the sides. And it is not possible to end such war without prior devastation. With every hard blow on opponent’s face opponent gets angry and try to hit back. But in an attempt to hit back, however weak he may be, he surely does cause some damage to stronger opponent. Damages occur on collateral...

  JUNGLE DIARY IF A SOLDIER Part 3 3.      Re-establishment of camp Then, we inaugurated our work in that camp to reestablish standard safety measures. We built tents, we decorated kitchen with the stuff that we brought with us, we glued map of that area into our study tent for deciphering enemy’s attack planning. Two of us were all the time busy in providing nursing to our injured soldier. While we were busy in some sort of work there was always an anticipation of enemy’s stunning attack. To prevent surprise attack our captain ordered us to lay mines at specific places wherein through they could have attacked. After the re-establishment of our camp we finally took deep sigh of relief. It was nicely written in our eyes that each of us needed sleep for that night but our safety protocols don’t allow us to do that. So we slept on shifts. There were two important tasks we were supposed to do in that camp. One, we were to make daily patrol in our surrounding area and tow...

JUNGLE DIARY OF A SOLDIER  Part 2 2.      Flash Combat and new problems           On the very sight of those intruders I took deep breath to reach peak of my consciousness and promised myself that I would destroy my enemy till last breath. I had already decided that in case I get shot by them then I would shoot my enemy till my last breath rather than staying low in cover. Captain commanded us to make a move and signaled us to initiate surprise attack. We all twelve commenced a flashing move and began firing on our enemy. Our enemy wasn’t ready for such surprise attack and got startled. They didn’t understand from where and how we attacked them. Before they could understand anything we had already infiltrated their camp which was once ours. With each fired bullet we aimed at our enemy to make maximum damage. Our startling attack was so immaculate that they lost their confidence and fled from the battlefield. We chased them for couple of hours...

  JUNGLE DIARY OF A SOLDIER  Part 1 1.      Deadly encounter We were Handful of men with frozen shoes, depleted stocks of ammunition, frightened ears and tired eyes but with explicit will to conquer that what belonged to us once. We reached Deccan Subordinate after three days of continuous walk. We were depleted of our energy but we were soldier still. Our badge on our shoulder asserted dignity for the uniform and demanded will of not to get tire at any cost. Our minds were trained to confront the mental fear on aching stroke of any extreme of physical pain. Upon falling into such situation each of us would be ready to jump into deathbed for our beloved nation. With such crew I walked for last three days. We confronted mini squad twice. We depleted them back to earth successfully but lost three of our eminent crew members of whom one was a high ranked officer and other two were brave soldiers. May their soul be rested in peace. Death on battlefield is always a f...
