Solution
It is interesting to envision a truce taking place in any war as it happened in World War I in 1914. Often I used to think about the war between India and Pakistan. It is a never-ending war between the two countries. These no nations declare ceasefire or cessation of war temporarily. The common festivals like Diwali or Ramzan are celebrated by the soldiers in No man’s land between the borders of two countries.
They exchange their gifts and their love for one another. Though they enjoy the fervour of peace and harmony, war is inevitable as they have to obey the orders and go ahead in the war. They could not help it and go with it. But it is exciting to envision the enemies on the battle field befriending and celebrating Diwali or Ramzan or any other festival for that matter.
“Peace can end war but war can’t bring peace”.
