Valour....Courage....audacity...Fearlessness--Food for Thought

You may get confused seeing the title. Why so many words? Courageousness or bravery is essentially important for everyone of us.

Today, I am going to share something witty.

Once Bahadur, a college boy was browsing through the newspaper, when he came across an advertisement. The advertisement was given by Indian Parachute Regiment inviting young men to join them.

When he reached college he came across the same advertisement stuck as  posters in quite a few places and also near the gate. In the advertisement it was written " Indian Parachute Regiment is not so far, all you need to do is to cross this road. Everything else would become easier after that. "

He started looking at the poster everyday. He would stand, stare at the poster for sometime and walk inside the college. One day one of college professors noticed his act. He was pretty confused.

He called " Come here, Bahadur."

When Bahadur came near he asked " I noticed, you are staring at the advertisment often. Why don't you join the team if you are so very interested?"

Bahadur replied, " Sir, I am quite interested. But the regiment is on the opposite side of this road and I am very scared to cross this road."

Many among us are like Bahadur. Though his name means brave hearted and courageous, he doesn't have a bit of that quality to his name.

People may come and go in our life, but we need to be our own companion and should be brave enough to face this life.
