As I soaked myself in the thoughts that germinated from the Republic Day speech of the Chief Guest, I heard a whooshing sound of something collapsing in my proximity. The security personnel standing next to us had developed a severe muscle pull in his right knee.
Several others from stand-by positions rushed to assist him. But in that short span, he attempted, with phenomenal spirit, to get up on his own. Not once, but thrice. His will and determination towards his duty reminded me of these powerful words~"Life is like a boxing match. Defeat is declared not when you fall, but when you refuse to stand up again."
More power to such souls of our Republic!
