HAPPY BIRTHDAY SANDEEP
The brave die never,though they sleep in dust,
Their courage nerves a thousand living men.
-Minot J. Savage-
Dear Major,
Today is a special day for you turn thirty four,wishes to you Sir.There is no gift that we can give in return for what you have given us,your life.You are remembered not just for your selflessness and courage but for the wonderful person you are.We admire your simplicity and integrity.There is a strange energy in you smile and an intense desire to be the best,and this is our inspiration.We thank you for that.
Terror spreads,heroes fight and every sacrifice like yours fades away with time.Your dad once rightly said"Everyone wants children like Bhagat Singh or a Bose,but in the neighbour’s house".We are extremely sorry for keeping one of the killers and thugs whom you fought with.He is more than alive,with a life of a prince.It hurts to see criminals living and martyrs dead.Law has its own course they say,but justice delayed is indeed justice denied.We know this is extreme malfeasance on our part to what you have done for us,your fellow countrymen.We are citizens with tied hands or so we believe.We are hapless,helpless and hopeless.We do not deserve your life and your valour deserves much more than what we have given you.
Salutes to you and your parents.Hope regret and remorse fills our hearts some day.Hope peace prevails some day.Hope more men like you take this nation to a new and brave pedestal and make all of us proud some day.We need people like you.We miss you Sandeep Sir.In our memories you shall always stay,our hero.HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
-Raksha Bhat

Girl..I applaud you for everything you are... ! We all read the news and forgot. But to pay a simple tribute.. how beautiful is that thought!
My wishes to Major. May his memories live on!!
Brave man. Salutations.
Thank you Raksha for reminding the soulless people of this country. A youngman happily sacrificed his life so that others could live.
Wake up India.
Honor your martyrs so what if the government is myopic and selective, we can be large hearted and remember our bravehearts.
