I lied to you on thursday morning that I would call you again. I remember we used to have a scheduled time in a day when we were together and free. We both like silence around us when we talk but that day when we were on phone there was none and I had no other choice than covering myself under the bunker so that I could’ve pretended to be free because only there I could have a little silence. It was hard to find such a place amidst on going shelling all around where I could’ve pretended to be with you. I lied to you last night when I said I was with my friends in my unit. I wasn’t there. Not in my unit, not in my room but in Mantalai area of Udhampur district where I along with other three soldiers left this world. I am sorry Archana, I wish I had called you.
