Review of Sholay by a GC


In general area Ramgarh, which was under the Command of Thakur Saab. Thakur Saab had no army, instead he lead a group of untrained unmotivated farmers, a transport incharge Basant, as a Runner he had Ramu Kaka.

This general area Ramgarh faced threat of raids by the Company strength commanded by Gabbar Singh. Gabbar though had a company under his command, yet at any point of time he only had a section strength at his disposal with rest of the men being accounted for. As his scout he had a well trained Samba who always remembered the count of men. The adm requirements were taken care by Kalia who consumed Namak and Gaali on a regular basis. As recreation activity Gabbar and his troops played 2 games.

1. Where they shot their men and tested their luck factor and called I Goli 6, Aadmi 3.
2. A dance performance by Basant by keeping her love interest at gunpoint.

To counter the attack/raids by the troops of Gabbar Singh. Thakur requested for an attachment of Buddy pairs from 9 Para SF who were specially trained with high OQ named Jai and Veeru. They followed the duties as a buddy religiously and on occasions of conflict decided it upon tossing of a coin.

On the first occasion of interaction between the Para SF men and the Raid party sent by Gabbar.
Para SF men had taken positions in Mutual Support and attained total surprise as the raid party had to retreat without accomplishing their primary task of collection of adam forcefully from the people of general area Ramgarh. This retreat hurt Commander Gabbar Singh's ego and as a result he gunned down his three own men while playing the game Goli 6, Aadmi 3. To reply back Commander Gabbar Singh sent a patrol whose primary tas was to find out the strenght of the troops employed by Thakur Saab and to make a good attack plan. On observations of the patrol it was decided that a full scale attack be conducted on the Holi day and Commander Gabbar Singh would lead the troops himself, after briefing them and after giving specifications of ZKITBAG. Commander Gabbar Singh's troops attacked general area Ramgarh while the celebrations were going on and there was no one to pass alarm for Stand 2, as a result of which Gabbar attained total surprise and had caused chaos among the people of Ramgarh. Because o fthe high quality of training received by Jai and Veeru and proper employement of Fire and Move tactics the area Ramgarh was saved from major damage. They fought valiantly in buddy pairs against the 2 sections of Commander Gabbar and prevented any possible loss of life.

As the mission set by Commander was not successfully accomplished, he decided to take transport incharge Basanti as hostage. A rescue team of 2 was sent by Thakur Saab to rescue Basanti. This lead to a full scale combat between the two troops and the ground became of tactical importance when the two troops got separated by a bridge over the river flowing west to east.

Due to lack of proper transport only 1 could go with Basanti back, and on toss of coin it was decided that Veeru would rescue Basanti and get reinforcements and till then Jai would stop the enemy troops from charging further ahead by taking cover behind a rock. After firing a few rounds, Jai went out of ammunition and due to the unavailability of second line of ammunition the tactical importance of the bridge increased and Jai's primary motive became successful destruction of the bridge, which would deny the enemy any advance. Jai had a grenade at his disposal but the grenade malfunctioned and didn't blast, and only last few rounds left with Jai could have fused the bomb on being accurately fired. Jai being the marksman could shoot the grenade at the exact point which blasted resulting in complete destruction of the bridge. But in the process Jai was severely injured and upon arrival of Veeru succumbed to his injuries. This angered Veeru and he headed towards the aread where Commander Gabbar's troops were stationed all alone in full Josh and high Morale. With the help of his zeroed weapon Veeru could make proper use of his ammunitions and hold true the slogan "One Bullet, One Enemy". On successfully killing most of the troops of Gabbar he later had to face the challenge of physical combat with the well built Commander. Veeru even won this combat all due to his high morale and his training at Special Forces.


The points to be noted are:
With a zeroed weapon, a reliable buddy and proper training any task can be accomplished.

Journey of Life


Everything is just a memory of golden times,
Now even the pleasantries hurt sometimes.
Never knew this life’s journey would shape up this way,
Was not yet prepared to leave and go away.
Yet this is what has to happen and this is what I shall do,
I know it will not be easy, but I am sure I will make it through.

This life beyond no-one can tell.
This unpleasant road, which we have to travel.
Leading us into the darkness, away from light,
Killing our hope, hampering our sight.

All my life I wondered, the purpose of birth?
To achieve what we came to this earth?
Now I realize it is only to be born and then die.
Find happiness, feel sorry and then one day say good bye.

Yet in this meaningless life, we find reasons to feel sorry to go.
We cry, we regret we do things, reasons to which we don’t even know.
Then we complain we didn’t live long enough.
We complain that this life to us was very rough.
And we wish to be born and to live again.
Go through all the sorrows, go through all the pain.
And re-live this life, which just went in vain.
Waste another lifetime in trying to attain, a life.

We are born with nothing, we go with nothing.
Yet we spend this life trying to win everything.

Fare Thee Well

I can see what I used to be.
And I can't tell you how, I miss being me.

But things changed and are different now.
Yet I want the old days back, but I don't know how.

I guess we should accept everything, and just move on.
Because old days are gone by, and they will stay gone.

I will remember the glorious times I spent with you.
I am sure they will make me smile, and I will miss you.

I am happy about our friendship, and we had our days.
And now that it's ended. I hope the memories stay.

There are things I cherish, and a few I regret,
But all's well now and I am glad that we met.

Now that you walk this new path of life,
I wish that you get for what you strife.
All that you want, all that you deserve,
May all be yours, more than you can preserve.

These 4 years were a part of us,
and a part of us they will remain.
And now it’s up to us, off these years,
what we want, we can retain.
We fought, we argued, we hugged and cried,
but now it’s just memories, no sorrows, no pain.
We might have drifted away, but in my heart,
you will be the same friend I had, of that I am certain.
And with this thought, I depart my friend,
farewell to you, until we meet again.

Kal aur Kal

Chal diye the is rah mein, na jaante the manzil kya hogi,
thi hamari kayi aarzooyein, na jaante the haasil kya hogi.

Aa chuke hain us mukam par, jahan sab anjaan sa hai.
Laga tha hum khushi payenge, par yahan sab sunsaan sa hai.
Janna chahate the, in saalon ki mehenat ka fal kya hoga,
par jo paya us-se dil thoda hairan sa hai.
Jaane kya paane ki chah main, sab kho chuke hum,
ab to jeena bhi lagata ik apmaan sa hai.

Par koi afsos nahi hai, kyun ki yeh rah humnein khud chuni thi,
is bayane safar ki har ek ghadi humnein khud buni thi.
Jo paya, jo khoya. Jis jis karan se dil ye roya hai,
woh sab ateet ke saath, peeche choot gaya hai.
Ab hamare aage, ik nayi disha, ik nayi subah hai.

Aaj se hum apni rah khud banayenge,
chalenge jis or, us or safalta payenge.
Apne is janm ko sarthak kar jayenge.
