Last Memories Burnt in Eyes of a Soldier

After a long gap, blogging again. This time after a series of sad events unfolded and as seen in news, earthquake, floods, bloody terrorist attacks etc.

One question haunts in my mind after watching a precious soldier sacrificing his life for the safety of our country, what does a soldier wounded by a bloody terrorist's bullet, has in his mind apart from all the pains, what might be the thought which might be running in his mind at the last events of his/her death ?

Is it the pains of success that he is dying for the country ? or the pains of sadness that he could not meet his family one last time? hug his kids, love them one last time? talk to parents & friends one last time ?

What actually happens to the life of his wife ? how does she explain about her husband to her kids when they are growing up and ask for their dad ? All through their lives most of the times they need to live separately when he was alive and when he is dead it's all over, does a soldier's life sacrificed is remembered by anyone in this country?

When a country like India has such a biggest level of corruption, can't we invest in bullet proof accessories, military drones, improvised and hi-tech guns and ammunition's, our ISRO is so much famous for weather sensing and geo-mapping technologies with precision in meters !, can't we safe-guard our territories ?

With such a big military establishment how can they not have secured the entire area with right approach ? what's missing ? How many such precious lives needs to be lost in order to wake up?
