About Me A microbiologist by profession, writing has been my passion for years and reaching out to people with my words has always brought me immense pleasure. Looking to get the most out of every experience, I try to write about it to make it a longer-lasting memory. Books keep me busy, the great outdoors keep me healthy and good food and music keep me happy.

Have you ever thought of the dilemma of an intellectual person who wants to just enjoy life's little pleasures, but expectations push him/her to take the demanding road!!

The classical meaning of freedom may have changed, but we are still plagued by terror, power-hungry leaders, corruption and a growing economic divide. We still have to free ourselves of these afflictions, but are we doing our part?

Amruta commented on Helen's WriteUp: I like the topic that you have chosen, touches a chord with a lot of people. The world is developing so much in terms of technology, but only for some. And the technology has influenced the simplicity of life! Loved the narration :)

When you use the word child/children, it is best to stick with it, to change halfway to using 'kid/kids' is not necessary (kids are goat children). You have, however, managed to let your story flow and progress naturally and I agree with everyone else - great to read a 'war' story with a positive message.

It was when we were cheering for Team India, there was a much deserving team that needed our cheers. Remembering Vikram Batra, Vijayant Thapar, Manoj Pandey, Anuj Nayyar, and all of our national heroes, on this Vijay Diwas. Let us at least do our bit and educate the present generation about the unnecessary war and how young blood was forced into it, and yet they brought glory for us. A salute to all our war heroes! You will not be forgotten!!
Please take a read and honor our soldiers! less
