The entire world on Sunday 9 November remembered the Unknown Soldier who died during World War I which ended on 11th day, 11th month and 11th hour in 1918.
It was a war between the Triple Alliance and the Triple Entente.
We remember and respect these soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the world because of whom the world become a better place. The ceremony last night at The Royal Albert Hall was very moving.
But has it become a better place? While we are remembering this day, America and Europe are solemnly paying respect to this Unknown Soldier but on the same day bombing Iraqi and Syrian citizens who are members of ISIS by dropping bombs on them from the skies.
Many others armed conflicts are going on in many parts of the world.
Like my father, I do find that there is some deep conflict in my conscience about what is right and what is wrong.
My father had passed away holding a cup of tea in his hand on Monday, 9 November 1970 in Rajkot, Gujarat, India. My mother never drank tea until she passed away on 2 February 2010.
As a businessman he never lied. His word was his bond. Businesses now seldom operate that way.
