Quote by Helen Picca

“The combat during the war was only a part of the horror. When soldiers came home, they were faced with new challenges, new fights to be won. When the anti-war public sentiment was strong, as it was during the Vietnam war, our brave soldiers came home to expressions of disdain and revulsion instead of the respect and honor they deserved. But perhaps the ultimate betrayal for veterans, who willingly risked their lives when their government asked, was making them fight to prove their sicknesses and disabilities were caused by the war in order to receive the free medical treatment they needed, or to be compensated. These were the worst indignities of war.”

“Tumhare bina zindagi" Main tumhare sath hamesha hoon, bas ye baat samajh lo Meri mohabbat sacchi hai, is ko apna yaqeen maan lo Tumhare bina zindagi, bas ek khaali kitaab hai Meri har saans tumhare naam, is ko apna khwab maan lo Ye jo shak ke saaye hain, inhein tum door kar do Meri wafa ko samjho, meri jaan, is ko apna haq maan lo Main jo toota hoon, ye tumhare gham mein hai Meri mohabbat ki shiddat, is ko apni aas maan lo Tum se bicharna, ye mera naseeb nahi ho sakta Meri jaan, mere dil ki baat sun lo, mujhe apna naseeb maan lo Jo dard tumhare dil mein hai, wo mere dil mein hai Meri mohabbat ki gawahi, is ko apna sukoon maan lo Main tumhara tha, tumhara hoon, aur tumhara rahoonga Meri jaan, is haqeeqat ko apne dil mein amanat maan lo Ab jo dil mein basa hai, wahi rahega hamesha Mere ishq ki shiddat, is ko apni jaan ka hissa maan lo Shaista, meri pyari Shaista, bas itni si guzarish hai Meri jaan, mujhe apna samajh lo, aur kabhi chhod ke mat jao”

“Sab Khafa hai” Zindagi ke mod pe aisa aa poncha hun Mohabbat bhi naraaz, dost bhi khafa hai Ghar ke log bhi mujh se door ho gaye hai Aur khwabon ki duniya bhi veeran pari hai Dil ki har dhadkan mein dard ka shor hai Har saans mein bechaini ka dor hai Taleem ki rahein bhi ajnabi ho gayi Har rasta jaise andheron mein gum hai Mohabbat ke chiragh bujhne ko hai Doston ki baatein ab bojh ban gayi hai Ghar ka sukoon bhi kahin kho sa gaya Zindagi ki ronaqein jaise chhup si gayi hai Ansuon ki qatar, ghamon ki bahar hai Har khwab adhura, har khwahish beqarar hai Mohabbat ka rang, ab dhundhla sa para hai Aur dil ki har umeed, bujh si gayi hai Zindagi ke is safar mein tanha sa hun Jahan koi bhi saathi nahin mera Mohabbat ho, dosti ho, ya taleem ka rasta Sab kuch ab bikra, sab kuch hai veeran Phir bhi yeh dil kehta hai, umeed rakhoon Andheron ke baad roshni zaroor aaye gi Khwab phir se sajain ge, dil phir se chamke ga Zindagi ke is safar mein ek naya sooraj ubhrey ga”

“GUZAR TA NAHI YE SHAAM-E-GHAM Guzar ta nahi ye shaam-e-gham Zindagi ke dukhon ka hai peham sitam Qadam qadam par thakan ka pehra Himaton ke chiragh bhi ho gaye madhham Musaafir hoon raahon ka jin ko khabar Manzilon ka saraab hai, dil ka maatam Khawab jo bune the, reza reza huye Haath khaali rahe, na raha koi dum Sawaal ye hai, aye falak-e-jafa Kitna aur sehna hai, bata ye sanam Guzar jaye ye shaam-e-gham kisi tarah Warna raah mein bikhar jayein hum”

“Ndani ya gruneti kuna vitu kumi vyenye uwezo na visivyokuwa na uwezo wa kulipuka kama vile pini, mtaimbo, springi ya mtaimbo, tundu la kuingizia baruti, baruti, fataki, fyuzi, utambi, wenzo na ganda la chuma la pingili kama vipande vya risasi. Pini inapochomolewa, na bomu kurushwa kuelekea kwenye shabaha au kuelekea sehemu nyingine yoyote, wenzo wa usalama huchomoka pia na kuachana na bomu moja kwa moja. Wenzo wa usalama unapochomoka huruhusu mtaimbo ugonge fataki ya kuwashia fyuzi kwa nguvu na kasi kubwa. Fyuzi itawaka kwa sekunde nne kabla ya kuwasha utambi, ambao utawasha baruti ndani ya sekunde moja, kabla ya baruti kulipuka – na kusambaza vipande vya bomu katika kila sehemu ya shabaha.”
