Unimaginable that Donald Trump who had been dismissive of the rising tension between the two countries was taking credit for the truce! Before retiring for my afternoon siesta, I was glued to television watching war updates till about quarter to five.<\/p>\n<p>As soon as I got up at around 05:30 in the evening, I reached out to my mobile to check WhatsApp. The first message that I found was Trump\u2019s tweet announcing ceasefire. Yes, it was on WhatsApp that I learnt about the suspension of hostilities. My first reaction was that of disbelief. The credibility of WhatsApp messages being low, I texted back,<em> \u2018Fake or real\u2019<\/em>.

Thanks to the over hype created by the media, the army of social media warriors, disappointed by the abrupt cessation of war , turned its ire towards Foreign Secretary, Vikram Misri ,the face of media briefing during the war. A vicious attack was unleashed on him because he was the government\u2019s spokesman who announced the ceasefire.<\/p>\n<p>Cessation of conflict should have been welcomed by everyone but it was not. When I was trying to figure out the reaction to ceasefire,\u00a0there was a WhatsApp forward\u00a0to enlighten me. \u2018The enthusiasm of most people for war is directly proportional to the distance of their homes from the borders.\u2019 How true! Those living on the border under constant threat of shelling will never support war. However, I would like to add that not just the physical, but emotional distance also matters. If your loved ones are in the armed forces on the front, you pray for peace and not war.<\/p>\n<p><em>We are one nation, one family.
