Thought of the Day!!
Seeing the present scenario the tension escalating between India & Pakistan everyone is worried , praying that things come back to normal. Life becomes peaceful again. People are as usual started showing their E anger ,concerns, worries , anguish or even pain to the world through electronic media.. Which also includes blaming the government , holding them responsible..
But what about Fauji wives who are the silent spectator, watching the world speculating war like situation. They are not allowed to share any kind of emotion to the world. They are not allowed to share any information or concern about their husbands’ to anyone. They are not even allowed to upload a pic on digital world if their husband is wearing a uniform. The same uniform in which a soldier looks the best & his family feels proud of him. But ya! this is life meant for a Fauji wife.
Incase of tense situation ,they are so many instructions passed as what needs to be done incase of an attack takes place. They need to look calm & sound normal in front of their children even though worrying about their husbands’ well being is tearing them apart from within. The uncertainty hovering constantly day & night whether the dear hubby will come back home safe & sound. Anticipating dreamily & hoping that he 'll be back before the kids result comes out or before that family function or the school reunion which he is so looking forward to attend. Fauji wives are not even allowed to show happiness & celebrate a victory to anyone in which their brave hearts have taken part or led the action.
When a girl decides to marry a soldier the package of worries, fears & separation comes along. She knows he means world to her, but for him his nation & duty will always come first without any doubt. The stoic smiling face becomes part of life while battling her inner fears & emotions.
The best thing a fauji wife does , when the husband is fighting in the front against the enemy for the nation , she keeps his world intact for him at home. So when he returns, he can enjoy his share of happiness meant for him as being born in this world.
Even they are allowed to enjoy this amazing life a bit!! Don’t you think!!
