Star Versus 'Star'

The body of Major Manish Pitambare, who was shot dead at Anantnag,
was cremated with full military honours at Thane on Wednesday

On Tuesday a news swept across all the news channels 'Sanjay Datt
relieved by the court'. 'Sirf Munna Not a bhai' '13 saal ka vanvaas
khatam' 'alhough found guilty for possession of armory, Sanjay can
breath sigh of relief as all the TADA charges against him are
withdrawn'

And then many experts like Salman khan saying 'He is a good person.
We knew he will come out clean' Mr. Big B 'Datt family and our
family have relations for years he's a good kid. He is like elder
brother to abhishek'. His sister priya Datt 'we can sleep well
tonight…it's a great relief'

In other news, Parliament was mad at Indian team for
performing bad; Greg chapel said something …..; Bomb scare in
gorakhpoor express; and Shah Rukh Khan replaces Big B in KBC and
Sonia asked PM to consider reducing petroleum prices (I wonder who's
the PM …anyways that is not the topic so leave it…) But most of the
emphasis was given on Sanjay Datt's "phoenix like" comeback from the
ashes of terrorist charges.

Surfing through the channels, one news on BBC startled
me, it read, Hisbul Mujahidin's Most wanted terrorist 'Sohel Faisal'
killed in anantnag, India. Indian Major leading the operation lost
his life in the process. Four others are injured.

It was past midnight, I started visiting the Indian
channels, the ones who are 'Sabse TEZ', but Sanjubaba was still
ruling. They were telling How Sanjubaba pleaded to the court saying
'I am the sole bread earner for my family' 'I have a daughter who is
studying in US who will look after her'. And then they showed how
sanjubaba was not wearing his lucky blue shirt while he was hearing
the verdict. Also how he went to every temple and prayed for last
some months. A suspect in Mumbai bomb blasts, convicted under armory
act…..was being made into a hero.

Sure Sanjubaba has a daughter; sure sanjubaba did not do
any terrorist thing as in bombing some place or hijacking an
airplane etc. Possessing an AK47 is considered too elementary in
terrorist community and also one who possesses an AK47 has a right
to possess a pistol so that again is not such a big crime; Sure
sanjubaba went to all the temples; Sure he did a lot of gandhigiri
but then….., people… please read on…….

Major Manish H Pitambare got the information from his
sources about the terrorists' whereabouts. Wasting no time he
attacked the camp killed the Hisbul mujahidin's suprimo and in the
process lost his life….. To the bullets fired from an AK47……

He has a wife and a daughter (just like sanjubaba), age …..18 months.

Major Manish never said 'I have a daughter' …before he took the
decision to attack the terrorist hide out in the darkest of nights?

He never thought about having a family and he being the bread earner

No news channel covered this since they were too busy hyping a
former drug addict, an actor in real and reel life, a suspect who's
linked to bomb blasts which killed hundreds. Their aim was to show
how he defied the TADA charges and they were so successful that his
conviction in possession of armory had no meaning. They also
concluded that his parents in heaven must be happy and proud of
him……

Parents of Major Pitambare are still on this earth and
they have to live rest of their lives without their beloved son. His
daughter won't ever see her papa again.

Definition of a Star has changed Major… it really has.
So sanjubaba always has a gun in every one of his movies then in
real life if he has an AK47 then what's the big deal we are used to
see him with some ammunition without it he's just a 49yr old hero so
he did it for us…..so that we feel normal;



Even if one of the bullets from one of such AK47's took a Real
Star's life …….

laga. Apun pure din aapke baarein mein socha. Sach bataun kya aapun

Finally Sir, to my generation there is no greater hero than one who
laid his life in the name of this great nation. Hence Sir, I salute
you. You are the real Star, Vande mataram.
