In less than 5 days I am going to be a one-year soldier. Time has sped past mercilessly, waiting for no one. The days have been hectic. Event after event, there never was free period for the body and soul to rest.
Being physically tired is part of the life of a soldier, rather routine and all too familiar. Yet what is most draining, is to be mentally exhausted.
Through the process of it all, key events have been missed, and interactions too. Interactions between family and friends. Perhaps NS was meant to make you treasure your time, and the people around you. For they say - 'Absence makes the heart grow fonder'.
I should and could have been a better friend. My sincerest apologies to all my friends for being a lousy friend to you. I could come up with a thousand and one excuses, but I could not deceive myself for my lack of effort.
Hope that each and everyone of you continue to stay happy and make the best out of your time and remember me as a friend. As much as possible I will make time for you whenever I can.
Sigh.
