Journey to the Desert Rose
Well, as it is said that the Blog should go on.... here am I with some of memorable periods during my life's journey.
I'll start with the journey and the fond memories of the Siachen Glacier.
For those "Siachen" is a 'not-heard', it is the highest active battle field in the world.
Amidst all possible calamities, it is here that the guts of soldiers are tried, tested and cherished.
Its a battle with the enemy across the LOC (line of control) and a big war within.
More than the enemy, one needs to conquer the innate demons & fears to survive and walk back alive and healthy.
Siachen takes its name from a type of rose that blooms in this icy desert.
As delicate and as beautiful the rose here is, so hard, sharp and numerous are the thorns around it.
As one tackles the thorns to get to the rose, so does one need to tackle the fears within to enjoy the stay on the glacier.
