An 80-year-old mother is offering to return her son's Shaurya Chakra.
Not in anger at the nation.
In exhaustion.
Assistant Commandant Vivek Saxena fell fighting terrorists in Manipur on 8 January 2003. The country gave him the Shaurya Chakra. The state promised his family land and a memorial. Twenty-two years later, Savitri Saxena is still being sent from office to office. Asked for domicile papers. Asked where she lived before marriage. Asked to keep waiting.
She is 80. She says she no longer has the strength to keep doing the rounds. So she has brought the medal to a grievance camp and said: if this is the honour we give a martyr's mother, take it back.
A son gave his life.
A mother is being asked to prove she belongs.
That should break something in all of us.

If you really cant control your hunger in a 1.45 hr flight and want your home made food to diss on expensive inflight food, there is a way to eat it in packed tiffins or disposables, not in steel utensils in a literal running aircraft where there is no way of washing it without dirtying the plane ЁЯШн
Some people who start justifying this as well. ЁЯджтАНтЩВя╕П
