You do not 'write Exam' you 'take Exam'. The examiner writes the questions. At least in American English this is right. I don't think it is British either. I think it is deshi Hinglish.

what kind of a nut case are you.Have some respect for the brave soldier .Its the gist of what the author is saying which matters.
India has once again lost a brave son to filthy human beings called terrorists.How many of our brave young soldiers have been sacrificed just because our spineless politicians do not have the courage to sanction a military action in POK. Madhavrao Peshwa the great maratha warrior had once said "if you want to cut a tree strike at its roots and not at it's branches'.If we attack POK then our brave need not get unnecessarily sacrificed day in and day out.a decisive military action can finish this menace once and for all. Captain Harshan's sacrifice is an inspiring story for all youngsters.I also salute his parents for imbibing in him great qualities.Dear Captain Harshan, Your sacrifice will not be in vain.Kashmir will be a paradise once again.
India needs such dedicated and patriotic heroes like Harshan who sacrificed their lives for the sake of mother land.Such people are worth emulation by all the youngsters of the country especially at a time when values are thrown to winds and people are growing more and more self- centred with materialistic out look and least concern even for the fellow beings-not to speak of the country.Harshan's life should serve as a bright beckon in this atmosphere of encircling brink of moral values.Every child should learn to set the goals of life right in childhood itself and endeavour accordingly.Unfortunately our present day children are failing to grasp the messages sent by child heroes like Dhruva,Sivaji who epitomised strong will power and deternmination.It s high time that our elders take pains to make their children read and assimilate our mythology/history which are replete with such illustrious characters and mould their kids into responsible and patriotic citizens of future.We have,in fact,many Harshans amongst our children;they need to be groomed well,their dormant instincts of virtues be ignited at the right time.The modern day education systems also needs to be restructured with required focus on the need for improving moral values in children at their budding age itself.It is a strange phenomenon that our culture,moral values etc are taught to children well outside India than within India by voluntary organisations like Chinmaya,Balagokul, Balvihar etc
i am really happy that REDIFF has finally posted such an informative n moving story of a young soldier....feeling really proud of u, being one of the sons of the soil of kerala...
