May be he had inspired some people by setting an example. I wish he didn't do so. If every patriot acts in a similar way, we will be left wth fools and anti-national people to construct (distruct?) our nation!Sindhu Devi Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13837319989457099569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6636808797927234183.post-38671302412447192382016-05-20T10:09:18.191-07:002016-05-20T10:09:18.191-07:00Hats off to Capt Mulla.

He was Cassabianca, the 12 year old son of one of the ship's officers. There he stood, alone at his post. He was surrounded by flames and facing the astonished English foe. Soon afterwards the fire reached the powder magazine deep down in the hold. The boy perished when the whole ship erupted in a massive explosion<br />The account of that boy who stood on that burning deck was told and retold. Eventually it passed on into legend. The story remains a classic example of devotion and faithful service. And the poem continues to serve as a source of inspiration and wonder for many throughout Christendom. That boy who stayed at his post on that burning deck has not been forgotten. And the story of his heroic stand is remembered right up to the present day.<br />The captain of a ship or a plane or for that matter any leader is not supposed to leave without rescuing others under his care, and that is what this captain d.idRama Ananthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00962222316822524699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6636808797927234183.post-48432800555508240382016-05-15T09:37:27.920-07:002016-05-15T09:37:27.920-07:00Thanks for your comments Rajesh.
