COVERSATION:
A: Hello Mr. X, how do you do?
X: Hello, Mr. A, I am good how are you?
By the by, do you know whats happening in our military campaign these days?
A: yeah, I heard that there was a sudden check in the campaign followed by an intelligence
report about the cheap quality of the weapons used.
X: Not exactly. It was said so.
A: is it? Then what actually happened?
X: actually, a rival troop crossed the border lines and started spying our activities.
They planned to know our military strength and find the right time to attack us.
A: Oh no!!! Our intelligence agents found that the weapons possessed by the brigade are of
cheap quality. These are imported as an inexpensive stock.
The commander-in-general came there for an inspection, examined the weapons and found
that they are useless.
X: wait! Wait! Wait! Hang on.
That is how the story was weaved.
A: what are you saying?
X: let me tell you the complete story.
The intelligence agency cautioned the army commander about the unpermitted entry of
troop from the rival army and suggested them to take care.
The next early morning, the commander reached the campaign, suspected the enemy troop
and decided to teach them a lesson.
He made a plot to deceive the rivals and explained it to his troop. The rumors are spread as
you said.
The enemy troop believed it and came out to wage a war and exposed them.
But the weapons are sophisticated enough to achieve the target definitely. A battle took place
for a while and finally the rivals are defeated.
Surprisingly, it is one of their men who betrayed their troop.
A: amazing. This is the care our men show to save our country.
X: not only that Mr. A it also shows how definite and certain we are.
A: yes, Mr. X talking about the defense of the country I remember about International fleet
review (IFR) which happened in our Visakhapatnam.
X: yes, I too watched it on television. I have tried for the passes but I failed in doing so.
A: I got a pass from my relatives and I went alone for the IFR. Its a rs.300 pass.

X: oh its 300?? I think its reasonable and affordable cost for the show they put on.
A: for sure, our Indian government has taken it seriously and a huge budget was spared for
this IFR.
X: yeah! I too heard about it. The security arrangements were also very well managed by the
Indian Navy. They examined every person entering the review. the local police also helped
the navy the in traffic management and they all took no prudence in conducting the event.
A: not only that they have gone over every vehicle entering Visakhapatnam over the past 3
weeks before the review.
X: they were always on alert to take in any situation for the peaceful going of the review.
A: even though many people tried to trick the security and enter the program without passes.
X: oh! Since its a very rare opportunity to see such events in their city and its a guaranteed
entertainment event to display our countrys naval defense for every citizen in the country
and to the rest of the world. So tell me about your live experience about the IFR.
A: it was a great experience to watch how our soldiers will fight with our enemies in a
dramatic war. They drove tankers to the that place to exhibit it to the people.
X: truly the soldiers are very great, they sacrifice their lives for the nation and are bound to
serve the nation. Its because their bravery many cons by the rivalry country are defeated
successful.
A: you are right Mr. X thats the reason we are leading our lives peacefully. I salute to our
soldiers.
A: yeah me too. Okay Mr. A now I got to leave. See you later. Bye. Have a good day.
X: see u later Mr. A have a good day too.
