A Tribute

Just read somewhere that Col. Vasanth, the Commanding Officer (CO) of the 9 Maratha Light Infantry, who lost his life fighting insurgents recently in J&K was a graduate of MES College, Malleshwaram. Not sure if that is what got me to write this post, but at the cost of sounding selfish, I wish to let it be known that I feel mighty damn proud of the fact that the brave man was a senior alumni from my college.
This is a small tribute to his gallantry and may his soul rest in peace.
