| Quotes |
Lt. Manoj Kumar Pandey, 1 by 11 Gurkha Rifles:
At ease. I've ordered you to rest. Even though I know for the next few days resting will be sin for us. Because we've been given such work that we won't get rest. Our aim is Kukarthang post. 3 Punjab and 16 Grenadier soldiers are trying to capture that post since some days. But the strength and ammunition of the enemies is such that our soldiers couldn't move at all. We've to go to help them. I know the task isn't simple. But looking at the guts, strength and history of the Gurkha regiment the task doesn't seem so difficult too. Any doubts? All soldiers: No, sir! Lt. Manoj Kumar Pandey, 1 by 11 Gurkha Rifles: We'll go with ammunitions. But we'll have to go with stretchers too. Soldier: It means many of us won't return. Lt. Manoj Kumar Pandey, 1 by 11 Gurkha Rifles: All of us will return, whatever state they're in. That's my promise. We won't leave even one soldier behind. Any doubt? All soldiers: No, sir. Thapa: But sir, some men will die. Lt. Manoj Kumar Pandey, 1 by 11 Gurkha Rifles: Sure. Maybe you don't know that angel of death is choosy too. It picks the most handsome of soldiers. Thapa: Then I don't have any chance, sir. I'm not handsome. Lt. Manoj Kumar Pandey, 1 by 11 Gurkha Rifles: That's what you think, Thapa. Ask your mother how handsome you are. See more » |
