Once Upon A Time During A Republic Day

"Pare.....d, samne se, the.....cchal!". Under Officer Vijayan shouted aloud. Ek do ek, ek do ek... The troop started marching in the ground. January 26, tomorrow is the Republic Day of this great nation. All NCC cadets are preparing for the republic day parade at the parade ground in the Malabar Special Police head quarters. This is the last night remaining. All cadets wanted to show the Under Officer that they are good in parade. Out of a hundred cadets, only 33 cadets will be selected for the parade being held tomorrow.

The selection was over. Except the selected cadets, everyone went back to their respective homes. Major Vel, the NCC officer, Under Officer Vijayan and another under officer Binu went to the corner of the college ground for their usual drinks. Others went to their rooms for sleeping. Early morning, Jaffer came with his auto. He is also a cadet selected for the parade. He is a licensed auto driver as well. Every day he wake up early in the morning and go to the town with his auto. He workfour hours in the morning and four hours in the evening to look after his family.

All cadets got in to the auto. They had their bathe in the Kadalundi river. Immediately when the breakfast was over, State Bus from Malappuram dippo came to pick up the cadet to MSP ground. Under officer Vijayan was the most busy person. He was very cruel also. He punished his own classmates when in uniform. Cadets did not like him because of this.

All troops were ready there in the ground. Scouts, guides, various Police forces like Armed reserve, MSP, and rapid action force troops were fallen in.

This was the prestige day of Under officer Vijayan. After he assumed the under officer position, this is his first parade at MSP. Previous two batches had won the first prize for the best troops in MSP parade grounds. He should keep the tradition live! Vijayan became nervous more and more as time approached eight O' clock. Then Vijayan recalled the pathetic truth that he did not went to toilet in the morning! He imagined the situation when the pressure comes under while seriously parading through the track! This thought increased his pressure inside. The whistle blown! All troops became vigilant.

"Pare......ddd, Ssaaaab...ddhaan!" Uner officer Vijayan shouted. That was the extremum. There was no more time for him. Vijayan lost his control. He called Binu and told him secretly that he want to do 'two'. Binu was happy to lead the troop. Vijayan ran away.

The NCC troop marched into the ground.

There was no one to show the way to toilet. He lost his control. He slowly moved behind the camp hospital. There was a big mango tree. Vijayan plucked his belt and throw away. He removed half the pants and did the first stage of job. "Haaa..... it id the biggest pleasure in the world!" Vijayan wispered. Excreta gushed as if some dam shutter has been opened! Then he removed all the clothes and finished the job perfectly.

After doing the thing, Vijayan's brain started working in normal mode. He realized the sad truth that there was no water nearby! Then he did not think much. Vijayan moved near  the bushes and plucked some leaves and cleaned the necessary places and started wearing the clothes.

"Who there!" a harsh bold voice asked. Vijayan looked around. It was a police man whose head was shaved. Vijayan realized that that fellow was a trainee police. They are very dangerous because they get lot of torture during their training period. Vijayan got terribly scared. His knees started hitting each other. He uttered all the things happened to him.The police man felt mercy to him. Vijayan walked to the visitors gallery in the ground. The parade was over and minister was talking. He saw his troop behind the leadership of Binu, his 'enemy'.
