“Revolution is not free”

Submitted by Jayesh on
This about my experience of Project Siachen. I got to know about this project before its formal start up. I explorer few site and you tube vides to enlighten myself. Same as other I was astonish by the fact that Indian Soldier are working at extreme condition of -50c. I really appreciate this fact but not feeling it as I am feeling it now.

Last two days of project were another one of the memorial moment of my life in sankalp. From a long time I was missing the madness and craziness which use to be there during initial stage of sankalp. At that time there was hand full of resource and very few volunteer. Most of the work use to be done on brut forces way. Most of the works on the last night as it happen during Project Siachen. Now a day thought we execute much bigger project but that madness was missing. At least I was missing that such way of working. No practicality, no management, no time constrain, only you and your work. Do it till you can, there is no limitation.

We spread whole night coloring, moderating and packing cards. As it was late and we were working continuously from long hours I was feeling tired, I was loosing the vision. While we all were busy working I got to hear this magical line came to my ear "Revolution is not free, it comes with a price". These lines were perfectly matching the situation. It brings the series of though in my mind and clears my entire mind. It brings out energy from me to go till end. After that I didn’t feel tired, I didn't feel sleepy, I didn't stop our self till the end. It was a like a nail on the head.

It was a wonderful two days of my life. Today when I look back it bring a awesome smile in my face. :)
