Update 3.

Tough training continues

Bhaot ziada kadak training, raaton ko jaagna, daraawne jagaon par raat guzaarna, bina khana pina rehna, pahaadon par din kaatna kade dhoop mein, itna kuch sehna par raha tha ke unn baaki recruits mein se bhi kayi aur bhaag gaye. Kuch superior trainers bilkool jalaad lagte the, eise eise tasks diya karte the jeise ke yeh sab recruits nahin mujrim ho! Aapas mein jab sab recruits batein karte the kabhi kabhaar to unn superiors ko jalaad hi bulaate the. Inn naye jawaanon ko bahot ghussa ata tha aur mann karta tha ke unn trainers ko pakar kar maarein! Magar assal mein weh jalaad nahin the. Naye recruits ko mazboot aur kadak banane ke liye yeh sab kuch karna zaroori tha. Superiors ka kaam tha unn ko uss tarah ki training dena.

Aur kabhi kabhi special intervention unit ke saath kissi case par ya khatarnaak mujrimon ko pakadna hota tha to innko uss unit ke saath bheja jata tha seekhne ke liye ke keise kia kiya jaata hai. Yeh new recruits supporting unit ke naam se jaate the. Bilkool soldiers ki tarah posaak pehne, sar par helmet, haath mein sniper, kamar mein pistol, chaku, hand grenades aur peeth par ek bada sa basta lade hue. Inn sab ke saath dawdna padta tha aur kabhi mujrim ke peeche paagal kutte ki tarah bhaagna padta tha. Golion ki barsaat bhi hote the aur kabhi kabhi yeh log ghayal bhi hote the.

Aur jab mahine bhar baahar training ke baad unit par aate the to bus 24 ghate ki rest milti thi. 9 dost ban gaye the Samir ke. Sab Comandos ki training par the. Ab unit mein, raat ko sab so rahe hote the to achaanak raat ke 2/3 baje unn ko jagaya jaata tha aur uss waqt training kiye jaate the. Yeh sab jaan boojh kar kiya jata tha unn sabko mazboot banane ke liye. Bilkool chain nahin tha. Araam nahin ta bus training, training aur training! Samir khamosh rehta tha magar andar hi andar sab kuch bina kuch bole seh raha tha kyunke usski manzil aur thi. Woh sab se best Comando banna chahta tha kissi bhi keemat par.

Kadak dhoop mein samandar kinaare, baloo par ghunse maarna, nange paon garam tapti hui reth par bhaagna, usss par bina kapde pehne letna, yeh sab bhi karwaya jata tha sabse. Samir sab chup chaap karta jata tha, baaki ke sab dost log dant pees pees kar galian nikaalte the. Baloo se bhare bori peeth par laad kar bhaagna… apne mein ek competition karwana, ek dusre se fight karna, self defence ki techniques seekhna… aur bahot bahot kuch eise tasks se guzarna par raha tha Samir ko. Kayi baar ghane jangal mein ek pure peyr ko lakadhaade ki tarah kaat kar apne kaandhe par ussko kitne meel tak chalna aur bhaagna bhi parta tha. Uss darkhat ko apne kaandhe par laade hue paahaad bhi chadna aur utarna padta tha kayi baar. Uss dauraan kayi dost ghaayal bhi ho gaye uss exercise ko karte waqt, yaa to paon ki phisalne se gir pade, ya kamar mein dard se zakham ho gaye vaghaira vaghaira….

Inn sabhi tasks ke dauraan ek hi trainer superior nahin hota tha, har roz weh badalte rehte the. Samir ke naye doston mein ek usske kaafi karibi ban gaya tha jisska naam tha Afzal. Afzal bahot ghussa karta tha jab superiors ziadati karte the. Magar Samir ussko har waqt rokta sambhaalta tha. Ek roz to Afzal ko itna ghussa aya ek Supeior ko maarne chal pada. Baaki ke doston ne Samir ke saath milkar ussko roka. Uss superior ne report mein Afzal ke liye punishment likha. Dusre din jab dusra superior aya to Afzal ko ek taraf legaya aur ussko 24 hours ek badhbudaar toilet mein band kiya baahar se taala laga kar!! Baahar nikalna naamumkin tha. Chawbees ghante Afzal usske andar band rahe. Dusre roz jab ussko nikala gaya to woh Samir ke gale lag kar bahot roya aur kaha ke woh give up kar raha hai, wapas apne ghar jaa raha hai. Tab bhi Samir aur baaki doston ne Afzal ko samjha boojha ke rok liya. Aur ek din ek aur dost ko punishment yeh mili ke ussko 12 ghanton tak keechad mein gale tak rakha gaya, aur ek teesre saathi ko lapakte hue garam aag ke paas din bhar bandha gaya…. Yeh sab sehne ke baad sab apne aap mein batein karte the ke kia weh soldiers hein ya quaidi? Eise bartaav kiya jata hai sainikon ke saath? Uss din Samir ne socha ke kissi superior se baat karega. Aur ussne appointment liya superior ke chief se baat karne ki.

Uss chief ko Samir ke bare mein khabar mil gayi thi ke woh sab se behtar candidate hai naye joined hue group ki. Samir ne milne ke baad Chief ko bataya ke keise salook kiye jaate hein unn sab ke saath aur yeh maanavya nahin lagta, kyun uss tarah ke bartaav kiye jaate hein? Samir ne samjhaya superior ko in lavzon mein,

“Sir hamare doston mein se kayi log stressed hein aur dimaagh garam ho jata hai. Kayi bar to superior ko maarne par utar aaye the dost log. Kia aap eise bartaav ko rok nahin sakte? Mere dost log aur main khud ek eise maansik tanaav se guzar rahe hein ke kabhi bhi kuch bhi ho sakta hai, iss liye mera aap se darkhwast hai ke aap kuch Karen please!” Tab chief ne kadak aur bahot hi gambhirta se English mein yeh jawaab diya Samir ko!

“You all have to undergo all those situations! It forms part of the game and duty. Can you know what you may have to go through if ever you are being captured by enemies? You may get to suffer hundred times more atrocities that that. So we are preparing you guys to become stronger and be able to face such occasions if ever they occur in your life! A comando is not an ordinary man! You will have to be inhuman at times when it comes to save your life! Otherwise you cannot be a Comando. Have you ever eaten raw meat of a dead animal? You may have to go through such things if you get to face enemies in a deserted pace. Do you know what a war is? Do you have an idea what is to face a terrorist? Do you know what kind of atrocities a terrorist can make you go through? Millions of times more than what you are facing here my boy! Well I know what the mental condition of all of you is and its now time for the pshycologist to follow you guys. You are all stressed and your mental condition demands repairs so the psychologist will guide and prepare you, this is also part of the duty and tasks. You are a very strong young man both physically and mentally and I am proud of you. But I want to give you a little private advice regarding what for you came here – A commando NEVER fights for his friends, A commando looks only for his and only his duty, he does not have to interfere in the program of his superiors neither he should ever come to talk in favour of anyone! We, here know what we are doing and what we have to do, there is no need of syndicate and anyone to speak for someone else. This is a place where each one looks for his own benefits not for others, this is not normal life, you are out of the common world, here there is no brotherhood, no relationship, no attachement to anyone. Here you only take orders and execute them. No place for sentiments, no room for feelings and all that. Bear this well in your mind my boy.”

Samir wahan se niraash nikla aur jaa kar ek kone mein chup chaap medidate karne laga ek gehri lambi sannss lekar….. Kabhi kabhi eisa lagta tha khud khushi kar le woh!!! Niraash ho jaata tha kabhi… kabhi khud apna hausla badhaata tha khud ko tassali de dekar…. Maansik santulan khone ka sambhaavna tha eise haalaat se guzarte hue. Woh apne doston ki chinta ziada kar raha tha apne khud se!

Phir dusre din sach mein as part of tasks mein ek Phycologist ne unn sab ki class liye. Sabko iss kadar baton se tayaar kiya uss doctor ne, ke sab apne andar ek ajeeb si taaqat mehsoos karne lage. Pata nahin kia jadu tha uss doctor ki baton mein jo baton, lavzon se insaan ko taaqat aur jine ki raah dikhata tha. Sab ke sab bilkool relaxed feel karne lage aur ek josh jeisa paida ho gaya unn sab doston ke beech aur firse tayaar ho gaye sabke sab maidaan mein utarne ke liye!

Ab physical exercises aur task ke ilawa academic class bhi hote the. Kuch lessons yaad karna padta tha aur exams bhi hote the. Sabhi exams mein Samir hamesha ki tarah first ata tha aur baaki ke bache dosts bhi ache number se pass hote the. Kabhi sirf 10 ghante ke baad di gayi lessons par test hota thaa. Kabhi 20/25 notes ko yaad karna padta tha by heart aur test mein bina ek lessons ko bhoole ya miss kiye sab jawaab dena padta tha. Ab revolver aur bandook ki essentials aur utilities ki lessons aur rules seekhaya gaya aur lessons diye gaye. Aur order mila ke jiss ne bhi ek jawaab sahi nahin diya ussko 24 ghanton ke liye khatarnaak jagah par quaid kiya jaega!

Aur Comando ke yeh rules diye gaye sabhi ko aur by heart zindagi bar yaad rakhne ko kaha gaaya aur test mein sab sahi jawaab dena bhi hoga!

Sab ko yeh diye gaye aur sirf ek raat mila sab padhkar memorise karne ko kal subha test mein innke jawaab dene the!! Sab dost apne apne bed par leth gaye kagaz ka tukda lekar aur rules padhne lag gaye… kissi ki enkh lag jaate to koyi ussko jagaata phir koyi aur so jaata to ek aur ussko jagata….. Aab mein bhaichara tha…. Phir milkar decide kiya sab ne ke kuch log adhe raat soye baaki jaage, aur jab weh jaage to dusre team soye.. Aur weisa hi kiya gaya; magar Samir donon shift mein jaagta raha bilkool nahin soya aur pure rules ko padhkar memorize kiya ussne!!

“Kahan se itni taaqat laate ho tum yaar? Itne thakaan ke bawajud tumko neend nahin aayi, tum raat bhar jaagte rahe aur lessons yaad karte rahe” Afzal ne poocha Samir se! Aur samir ne sirf ek choti si muskurahat se ussko jawaad dete hue kamre se nikal gaya.
