🌟 Colonel Rajyavardhan Rathore & Sumitranandan Pant – A Tribute to Two Stars ✨
poetry & gunpowder. nature & nation. same soil. two heroes.
On the birth anniversary of Sumitranandan Pant ji — Jnanpith winner, Chhayavaad pioneer, author of Chidambara — I bow a hundred times. 🙏
But also thinking about Colonel Rajyavardhan Rathore.
Not a poet. But a protector. Olympic silver medalist. Soldier. Inspiration.
Because the land that gifted us Pant’s verses also gifted us Rathore’s aim. One saw God in dewdrops 🌿 One saw duty through a scope 🎯
Both refused to break. Both made India proud.
So today — a hundred salutations to the poet of the stars 🖋️ and a standing ovation to the soldier of the target 🥇
Same sky. Different stars. Both shining bright.
