There are lakhs of Orkut users, and so many among them have huge friend lists, hundreds of fan list , fan community, thousands of scrap and a long list of testimonials written for them . Among all those, there a profile page in orkut, where there are only 78 friends, 3 fans and no testimonial at all. However the no. of scraps unusually increased in a span of 3 days after 26^th of Nov 2008. You know why, because this is the profile of Sandeep Unnikrishnan who all of a sudden became a Hero not only for India but for the whole world. Before this , not much of the people knew about him , except for his near and dear ones, but today a the mass know him , respects him, love him, shed tears for him, is proud of him and want to be like him.

Shaheed Major Sandeep Unnikrishnan was serving the Indian army in the cream of the crop National Security Guard and was assigned to the Special Action Group (SAG) of NSG on January 2007. This 31 year old brave man was born in Cheruvannur – Kozhikode district, Kerala on March 15, 1977 from where his family migrated to Banglore and was settled there. Major Sandeep was the only son of retired ISRO officer Mr. K. Unnikrishnan and Mrs. Dhanalakshmi, or should I say, India’s only son. He completed his schooling from the Frank Anthony Public School, and was a charm among his fellow mates and had a dream since childhood of joining the Army. He is also remembered as an outstanding student. He was known for a young and energetic personality along with a soft core heart and his jovial nature could be known from his profile at orkut about which I mentioned earlier.

The Black Tornado Operation was a blight and misfortune that snatched our brave hero from us and we today are only talking about him and could not talk to him. Here I want to say to Zazo, “You created Orkutheroes and featured so many big people, took their interview, talked about them, wrote about them, in fact you created Heroes but how unfortunate you are that you didn’t encountered this fearless man who was present in orkut. He was there and could have been on Orkutheroes as well and imagine today what must have been the position of Orkutheroes if you would have featured him. No doubt, he is a Hero today, of this country, of our hearts, of this whole world, but we were so unfortunate that we didn’t have had him on orkutheroes. But today I say, we as a team of Orkutheroes apologize, that we did not succeeded completely in our search of bringing real heroes in front of you all and missed Major Sandeep. But today we pay him our tribute with wet eyes and add his name in the list of Orkutheroes, not because he needs it but because we need him”.

It’s not only me whose eyes will get filled with tears, while viewing his profile on Orkut. His profile shows, how simple, full of life and nature loving was this man. “I am a total movies maniac” says one of his descriptions in his profile. It becomes impossible to believe that this young enthusiast and full of life person is actually no more. “Major Unnikrishnan rescued an injured commando before he was hit,” Director-General of NSG J.K. Dutt said after he announced ‘mission accomplished’ at the Taj and quoted the slain major as telling his crack team, “Do not come up, I will handle them.”.

In his own words, according to his orkut profile, things that turn him off are,’ hypocrisy, sycophancy, apathy and lack of compassion’. So true, the proof of which is the way he hugged death, with courage. There are about 67 photographs in his album on orkut, which all shows the real man within him. A normal young boy like you or me who wants to travel , take snaps, celebrate with his friends, talk, eat, watch sunsets, smile, and have fun. So much was still there for him to do, which was undone, which was left for him, and still waits for him, that he would return and do. But those coward and handful of boys, took it all away from him , and we were so helpless, silent spectators in front of our TV sets watched him died. How miserable is our condition today and I feel ashamed towards the divine soul of major Sandeep , that he actually got killed by the dirty politics of this country and irresponsible citizens like us who are still not aware. Please people wake up along with OrkutHeroes tribute to the great Shaheed Major Sandeep Unnikrishnan and take a pledge that we no more get to see such departures of our brave heroes..
