Immortal - A tribute to the Martyr (Haiku - 5-7-5)

Immortal - A tribute to the Martyr (Haiku - 5-7-5) Fighting till the end Chose our country over life Eternal hero! © Mandar Jayant Kokatay It is since 1971 that a flame which is often known as Amar Jawan Jyoti (or the flame of the immortal soldier) is continuously burning under the shrine of India Gate at New Delhi, the capital of India.  It is a structure consisting of black marble plinth, with reversed rifle, capped by war helmet, bound by four urns, each with the permanent flame. It serves as India’s Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Amar Jawan Jyoti is manned round the clock by soldiers drawn from the three services of the Indian armed forces. Wreaths are placed at the Amar Jawan Jyoti on Vijay Diwas, and on 26 January, by the Prime Minister of India, Chiefs of Armed Forces, and other dignitaries. More recently, an online portal has been launched by our veterans to honour the Martyrs. You can visit it at :-   https://honourpoint.faujipoint.com

Silence - Dedicated to Earth Day !

Silence - Dedicated to Earth day Branches scoured fruits devoured bark crumpled roots shriveled The tree is silent Trees chopped shrubs cropped vegetation vanished animals banished The forest is silent Soil eroded rocks abraded inners hollowed toxins swallowed The mountain is silent Water corrupted flow disrupted motor boating filth floating The river is silent submerged ships wrecked Oil spills unchecked species near extinction killed by pollution The sea is silent billion spouts smoked aerial routes choked stars intangible climate unpredictable The sky is silent flooding population nuclear radiation weapons of mass destruction Humans - God's own creation The Earth is silent The silence has a meaning The silence is threatening The silence is deafening Is anybody listening? © Mandar Jayant Kokatay
