What do u do when some one u trust with ur life(not necessarily ur gf or wife) ..does a volte face and turns out to be the exact opposite of the person u thought u had been seeing..? I feel initially there is this total denial..denial of reality of circumstances and situations. Suddenly u feel like thinking that thsi is not the real world ,maybe i will wake up in sumtime and this all will go away. When u feel that this concept doesnt work.ur self denial turns to greif at the loss. A grief that some how and somewhere u have been responsible for the loss. U have made the bad thing happen. You have made this guy turn away. It is a phase that consists of self blaming. Your confidence takes a nosedive ..and god forbid if u have no close friends..u can be suicidal.

Most of us tend to look upon Defence sector as a huge monolithic war mongering machine with pompous generals and their toy guns. In fact Gandhiji was totally against the maintainence of a regular Defence Force in free India. Too many free thinking individuals have decried themselves hoarse about a Defnence Force that generates no income and is a strain on National Resources. Infact , the reason why an Army(for that matter NAvy and Airforce) exists in absence of War is a mystery to most of us. These guys just keep on training , getting subsidies , canteen , cheap alcohol ..cmon what do they do to deserve all this while their tax paying brethren toil away at making India an Asian tiger..!! Why should the common man even pay for mantaining a Defence Force ..let alone increase their expenditure in Budget? The logic of having a Defence Expenditure can be summarised in three lines (a) Sovreignity of a country is the hallmark of Political , Economic and Social freedom. Sovreignity like ...
