for troops who did not make through!!

dedicated to all those deserving candidates who shared the same barrack, same group, same batch, and same dream of making out to the finals at the selection process for serving the nation. But, it the penultimate day came out to be disappointing to all..


hundreds of us entered in the dark zone to join defence
but the penultimate number made a huge offence


some were personnal, came for better operation
few repeated for a chance of redemption


many were virgin, but fresh with talent
but dreams shattered to become a lieutenant


beds and barracks became the smoking precinct
side-bets started with numerology instinct


afternoon till later was the real time to get high
jostling few Sad into the bar to make them fly


night party consisted singing and dancing on own
until the photo or a compassionate was shown


speaking lectures with words so un-conveyable
final conference hearing turned out to be so unbelievable


shouting the number over shaking commando walk
the strategies failed to make the uncommon psychic to talk


holding snake, the troops ran singing war cry
being in group individual had to make a try


no one laid an opportunity or left a single chance
sadly, ultimate verdict made undeserved destiny dance
