Left Home at 18

We both left home at 18,⁣ You cleared JEE, ⁣ I got recommended.⁣ You got IIT,⁣ I got NDA.⁣ ⁣You persuaded your degree, I had the toughest training.⁣

⁣Your day started at 7 and ended at 5,⁣ Mine started at 4 till 9 and⁣ Some nights also included.⁣ You had your convocation ceremony,⁣ I had my POP.⁣ ⁣Best company took you and⁣ Best package was awarded,⁣ I was ordered to join my paltan⁣ With 2 stars piped on my shoulders.⁣ You got a job,⁣ I got a way of life.⁣ Every eve you got to see your family,⁣ I just wished I got to see my parents soon.⁣ You celebrated festivals with lights and music,⁣ I celebrated with my comrade in bunkers.⁣ ⁣We both married,⁣ Your wife got to see you every day,⁣ My wife just wished I was alive.⁣ You were sent on business trips,⁣ I was sent on line of control.⁣ We both returned,⁣ Both wives couldn't control their tears, but⁣ You wiped her tears but,⁣ I couldn't...⁣ You hugged her but,⁣ I couldn't.⁣ Because I was lying in the coffin,⁣ With medals on my chest and,⁣ Coffin wrapped with the tricolor💖.⁣

My way of life ended...⁣ Yours continued.⁣ ⁣We both left home at 18🙂
