WAR AND REMEMBRANCE

Our history is yesterday’s politics and we cherish the memory of leaders who showed us a path to follow and motivated to stand against the conventionalities of life. We recognize someone a hero who lived an exemplar life. Winston Churchill remembered as one among them who made his mark in the past. Reflecting a hero’s traits, he laid a hand on several areas like politics, military, arts and literature and left his signature in all these spheres. He believed in a principle that attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference.

Winston Leonard Spencer Churchill is a British origin and served as Prime Minister of Britain twice. From childhood he was fascinated about military service and joined army at the age of 21 and travelled all over the world including India. Other than military service he was keenly interested towards politics and was in the forefront for long fifty years serving various designations. And during the First World War time he took the position of Home Secretary but later on resumed back to army life. But he could not stand in one place as his adventurous mind doesn’t get satisfied; he came back to politics.

                               

                                         

Churchill proved those people wrong who thought his mind is only thirsty for adventure, through his life and experiments in other spheres like literature, painting and so on. He is the first British Prime Minister to receive Nobel Prize for literature. And was also the first person to become Honorary Citizen of United States. The Nobel Prize was awarded to him for many of his literary works especially for his six- volume masterpiece “The Second World War” where he depicted the value of human life with his brilliant historical description. The first published work of Churchill is the “The Story of Malakand Field Force” describes the military campaign of 1897 in the North-West Frontier which is part of Pakistan and Afghanistan now. The only fiction based book he write is “Savrola” about the fictional revolution in the European States. All of his literature wonder is totally based on his experiences throughout life especially from the days spent in military campaigns. 

His voyage in painting was an inspiration created by his friend Paul Maze and all his paintings were depicting the beauty of landscapes. Like in the other areas of adventure, all his paintings were masterpieces of art.

Churchill says “We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give”.
