My pettiness!

 On the 1st Nov-2024,  I watched the movie - Amaran;

It is a biopic of Major Mukund Varadarajanposthumously 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!
