"The Kargil Girl - An Autobiography"

- @authors_kiran_nirvan

This is the autobiography of @gunjansaxena123 which is a story of Inspiration, Dedication, Determination, Success, Sacrifice, Motivation, Support.

Today, I would not be talking about what is there in the book as it is something which each one is aware of till now. I would like to point out something different which is really important for the youth to understand -

🍁Seeing his head

wrapped in a cloth and his uniform crimsoned with blood was something that made me wonder if this soldier had experienced a lot of pain. What would have been his last thoughts? How would his parents react when they were told their son was no more? Was he married? Did he have children?

What about all the plans he must have had for the future?

Such questions roiled inside my head until we landed at the Srinagar airbase. But such is the uncertainty of a soldier’s life, I reminded myself. There is glory in fighting to save the integrity of one's nation and dying in the process.

This is the most important question which makes me feel connected to this book - " The Kargil Girl"

🌼The book talks about everything which a person needs to understand starting from Gunjan's life, how she qualifies her SSC but then also she was not able to get through with the Interview, after that her struggle to prove others wrong, it is also seen that the amount of Hardwork and determination she showed was remarkable. It makes us understand that we should be passionate about our dreams then only we can have the glory in the end.

🌼 The tittle which she got she earned by her own self fight which she had seen when she was small. The book is a journey of INDIAN INSIPRATION that if the book can touch any girl and change her life it would be the best thing which can happen.

As today also in small towns and villages girls are not allowed to take their own career choices. As today also there are many parents who want their daughters to dream which is easily accessible which takes aways there dreams and desires to become something big in life.
