<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->I was very proud of him, and envious of him. Envious because, as a kid I wanted to join the Armed Forces, but could not do so because of my polio-affected left hand. As a small kid, I always thought that God was cruel to me for he had stopped me from serving my motherland directly and in the noblest manner.
Manish was a brave officer, always leading his team from the front. I think he was 1975-born, and he was already a Major in the Army. When I last met him a few years ago, he was posted in Kashmir � I asked him why don't you take a transfer outside Kashmir. He said his country needs him the most there. I again felt proud and envious of him.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
