For whom the bell tolls

Amid the discussions on who should have been (and haven’t been) awarded Padma Shri and Padma Vibhushan, one incident went fairly unnoticed save a few news channels and a mention in TOI.

28-year-old Captain Sunil Kumar Choudhary who was awarded the Sena medal for gallantry, on Republic Day, died a day after fighting Ulfa terrorists in Assam's Tinsukia district. Those of you who still care might want to read about this Shaheed at http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/Day_after_Sena_medal_officer_dies_fighting_Ulfa/articleshow/2735951.cms

As John Donne said, "Therefore, send not to know For whom the bell tolls, It tolls for thee."
