    In time past, there have been a series of legends about the lion and the mouse, but my story goes thus, Lion King is the most respected and feared king in the history of the animal kingdom. Lion King was always known to live in comfort and luxury all his life. And Lion King was also known for roaring around the forest savannah and jungle just to ensure that everything was going smoothly in the kingdom, and thus it gave him joy deep in his soul. He did this as his weekly routine. 
       One cool evening, when the snow seemed to have died down. Lion King invited all the animals in the kingdom and ordered that all must be present. Every animal came at his request. 
  During the meeting, the king asked if anyone could give him a clever idea on how to build progress in the kingdom. Different animals in the kingdom gave several suggestions such as Tiger, Monkey, and Grasshopper, but none impressed the king until a little mouse brought a clever idea that wowed him. As soon as the king heard the little mouse’s idea, he said “awesome that’s very clever of you little mouse, I will order my noble servants to make sure your idea is executed.”

  Covert operations are a cornerstone of modern intelligence and national security strategies. They are defined by their secrecy and the fact that they are often conducted in a manner that prevents any overt acknowledgment of their existence. In essence, covert operations are activities undertaken by government agencies, intelligence services, or other organizations to influence events or gather information while keeping their involvement hidden from the public eye. These operations can range from intelligence gathering and surveillance to acts of sabotage and subversion, and they play a crucial role in shaping global power dynamics. 
  The concept of covert operations is not new. Throughout history, countries have engaged in clandestine activities to protect their interests, advance their political goals, or weaken their adversaries. From ancient espionage missions to the sophisticated, technology-driven operations of today, the underlying principles of secrecy and deception have remained constant. However, the scale, complexity, and tools used in these operations have evolved significantly over the years. 
  One of the most significant aspects of covert operations is their ability to influence world events without direct confrontation. These operations can alter the course of conflicts, sway elections, or shape public perception, all while remaining largely unseen. The ability to conduct these operations without attribution allows governments and organizations to maintain plausible deniability, minimizing the risk of political or diplomatic fallout. This makes covert operations an essential tool in international relations, especially in times of heightened tensions or when open warfare would be too costly.
