My Patriotism rediscovered

My patriotism..true its my patriotism which lied beneath under grey matter of head. It was with me when I prayed "Vandemataram" daily in school. It was developing when I started to listen about freedom fighters in school. But some how as soon as I started learning Science, my patriotism started slowly fading away. Might be because of conditions I was in, I started disliking everything about India. It was at its peak when I was doing BE. Tell you what I attended only one or two (of all 8 Independence days and Republic days) during my entire course. Even working in Bangalore didn't change me realise the greatness of India because of traffic pollution and my greedy owner where I used to stay.
But much to my amusement(because I didn't like education that much during BE) to myself I joined IIT for Mtech. I can say that this is the turning point in my life. People in AP say SSC is the turning point (I didn't turn :P), and more say +2(Even then I didn't turn), finally getting BE(Even then I didn't turn much). Then when the hell is my turning point? and how is this related to patriotism anyway?

It is related in fact.Because I got inspired by some true alchemists (Till then I know only one alchemist..created by Paulo Coelho) in IIT. Who? Profs. Tell you what they are the most talented people yet very simple with low salaries. In my opinion they are serving the country right from their heart. If they want they can earn money like anything. They are ppl who study science for the sake of science and nothing else. So my patriotism started growing as I started to emulate some of their aspects, as every student does.
But it reached peak right after terror attacks in Mumbai in 26/11/08. People were in chaos during this attack and they want somebody to rescue them from the heartless terrorists firing bullets everywhere. First fire brigade ppl came and rescued them to the cost of their lives. But the true heroes were yet to come. After the death of ATS high officials during that event NSG(National Security Guard)'s entered the scene. They looked like black tigers in their black dresses , with no fear in their eyes. They entered the places where terrorists were hiding and risked their lives to save innocents. They made their lives purposeful as contrary to large ppl who don't know why they are living. Some Majors in NSG lost their lives during this operation. After 60 hours of continuous battle with terrorists, NSG commandos showing no signs of fear told something to media that I'll never forget in my life. Here are they

" Kuch nahi hua hai. Ek hafte mein chaalu ho jaayega. Aap aao khaao piyo, jab tak hum log hain koi tension nahi hai." (Nothing has happened here. It'll be open for guests in a week. You people come, have fun, eat and drink, there is no tension till we are there).

"Kuch nahi, andar gaye, deepwali manaayi, aa gaye."

"Hamare Liye Kuch Bhi Mushkil Nahin Hain!"(Nothing is difficult for us).

I was awestruck at that very moment when I was watching their comments on TV. Hats off to them. This shows how much they love their duty. Now my patriotism is all time high after observing NSG's. Hope It'll stay there.
