On the 1st Nov-2024, I watched the movie - Amaran;
It is a biopic of Major Mukund Varadarajan, posthumously awarded the Ashok Chakra for his actions during a counter-terrorism operation
The film is well-made without exaggeration!
and the most gut-wrenching scene(s) to me were :
not the Military attacks etc., that killed Major Mukund but rather the below:
-Hero's wife and daughter celebrate his Birthday solo -cutting cake - bursting balloons- at home unable to reach him as he in the war-front!
- After a gap of 18 months, the Hero , Major Mukund, meets the wife and kid , for mere 30 minutes , at the airport and then he departs to the next assignment!
The movie reminded me again of the Solider's Life:
Leaving families for years and risking their life for the Dear Nation!
What a self-less honor!
On other hand, I look at my life : a blessed Life where I meet my Family every day -
but still,
I sulk about petty stuff of life - Traffic Jam, Tension etc.,
I am ashamed at my pettiness - of my selfishness and clamor and chasing!
I need to count my gratitude!
not only that - not to be ungrateful , asking more and more!
