He loved her too…

Kashmir was the place where the then couple celebrated their 15th wedding anniversary. Mrs Vasant had never thought that it would be their last one together. Mr. Vasant Venugopal didn’t think twice, didn’t compromise for his family. For his two daughters aged 10 years and 7 years, for their inquisitive eyes, when they would stare towards the door thinking that atleast tonight their father would be back. Thinking…What went wrong?

He loved her more than Mrs. Vasant. And love sees nothing. It just happens. Yes it is blind. Yes everything is fair in love and war.

"Finally, this is all I have left of him," Subhashini Vasant says with tear packed eyes, pointing towards a two and a half foot square wood-and-glass box…"This flag. Some photographs. My children. And that aching space in my heart." The tri-colour flag that draped Mr. Vasant Venugopal laid folded in that box.

Yes, the extra-marital affair of this veteran of the Kargil War was with his Motherland, who gave his life on the 27th of July, 2007 only to stop eight Pakistani terrorists who were intruding just in order to disturb His Motherland.

This grateful nation will never read his name, like many, in the pale pages of history books. Mrs. Subhashmi Vasant received the Ashok Chakra for her husband’s immeasurable contribution on The Republic day, 2008.

We Salute You.

This gives us yet the somewhere lost urge to stand up, stand up for our Nation.

he loved her too...

if I get her...

(please note, this article of mine also appeared in THE STATESMAN VOICES , dated-10th feb., 2005)

FLASHBACK. It was 24th Sep., when she went up and down my body, touched me with her lips. I raised my eyebrows. She smiled and went away. That instance was unforgettable. I followed her, trying to stop her, to return the gift. She didnt stop.



Zoom out. Present tense. Friends, will you help me? I cannot concentrate on my studies any more...if I get her...When I put off the lights, sit in the corner of the room with the radio whispering, thoughts of her prick at the back of my mind. She comes and just steals me, conscience, my sleep, my dream. I know I'm stupid because I think that by closing the doors and windowsshe can be blocked from boggling my mind.

But she is omnipotent. I pull my blanket well over my head. Hide inside it. Again, its shows my stupidity for she winds her way inside. Buzzing that special 'bell' that is cordially invited by my eardrum. But like a dream she vanishes... Her touch, her thought, her presence, her down-to-earth kind of attitude has simply taken my breath away. When I see her playing with the stray dogs, giving equal attention to everyone, and showing the same gentle behaviour towards me makes me feel so obsessed.



She tortured me a lot. I couldnt sit for my half yearly exams because of her. I want to reach out to her but dont know her name. Hardly any means of talking to her...total communication gap.



Its the unkindest cut in my life for I see it on the television, happening to neighbours, happening to lakhs and lakhs of people... it even made me stop going to school. I used to spend most of my time in the bed and think... if I get her...



I was totally blank, on the verge of extinction, becoming her prey. It still shakes me. Thank God, I have snapped out of it now. I know "it is easy when you are in prosperity to give advice to the afflicted" but friends, I am serious and dont want anyone else to bear the same pain.



Do use repellents and sleep inside mosquito nets to avoid becoming "her" victim and suffer from malaria...



Yes, if only I could get my hands on her...
