Well nothing new for today...this article was written by me on the last Independence day, which due to some unfortunate reason was not published last year...so here it goes...of course with some modifications !!

Warm greets on 62nd anniversary of India's FREEDOM

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY !!!

But, are we and our countrymen really happy ??

Are we and our fellow countrymen really free or independent ??

Let’s spare few seconds to figure out the basic problems and to chalk out the possible solutions...

Today, our nation is developing speedily, technology is improving extremely, living standard is uplifted considerably, India is leaving her mark in almost every field whether be it science, technology, agro-science, space or sports ...AGREED.

But is this all that we expect from our nation or I should say from ourselves ?? Do we have this much potential only ??

India, our pride is still manacled with evils such as poverty, illiteracy, reservation, corruption, unemployment, mismanagement, terrorism, extremism, regionalism and religious conflicts. Our population is increasing enormously so as our needs which is giving a boost to inflation, that is increasing day by day leaving us and unprivileged crowd helpless. Corruption, which is already acting as fatal rust in Indian administration system has stretched its legs in small public offices to big corporate sectors that could damage Indian economy anytime.

Where are such political leaders who were having their global impact ? What happened to Indian political and administration system ? What happened to Indian leaders who were ready to shred their lives for their country and fellow countrymen? And above all, where is the much praised INDIAN YOUTH ??

Indian youth, which was considered the most thoughtful, enlightened and dedicated group towards the nation; the youth which comprises of legends such as Shaheed Bhagat Singh, Rajguru, Subash Chandra Bose, Swami Vivekananda; what happened to it ?The only answer to all the problems of our country is AWAKENING OF INDIAN YOUTH.

Yes, my friend now it is time for me, for you and for all of us to think upon it. We will have to participate actively in all the matters of our country. Its time for us to REALISE the importance of FREEDOM, and the COST that our great freedom fighters paid for it.Come let’s take an oath together to make India a more prosper, more peaceful, more thoughtful, more successful, more enlighten, more literate or in all the best country to live in.

Wishing you independent thoughts, independent feelings...and above all an independent soul !!

JAI HIND !!

DAY 11

Sunday.


Sometimes I really wonder, why on Earth there exists some selfless souls who are always ready to extend unconditional support to you when you are in urgent need of it ??...such individuals who always loves to talk about our sorrows inspite of their felicity...such creatures who are allegedly called as ~Friends~ !!...and the next thing is I'm stabbed by an usual bunch of questions such as:

Who is a friend ??
What is friendship ??
Why do we need friends ??
and so on.....

Although, no human not even God can furnish the perfect definition of a friend or friendship...infact what I think is friendship can't be defined at all in words...it is a sensation whose warmth and comfort can only be felt. As soon as an individual is born he is blessed with many beautiful relationships such as mother, father, sister, brother...etc. But the one relation which is synthetically fabricated by human is FRIENDSHIP !!

It is a gift to the man kind...a blessing from the almighty !! The relation which we get in this world are blood related. But the only relationships which are not related to blood is friendship. Friendship is a gift that two people give to each other. It is not an expected result of meeting but a true and unanticipated gift of enormous potential.Where there is friendship then there is no space for any sorrow. When you see a child laughing you will forget your sorrows for a second, sameway when you are with a friend you forget your sorrows. It is a special bond that is created out of genuine affection and is given freely to those who have shown their truth. It is given without the thought of reward but with the essence of the heart which longs for this special connection.

Someone has truly said “True friendship is seen through the heart not through the eyes". True friends form a special connection that will weather any storm. True friends understand being human and give the other room to grow. True friends are there even when they are not expected to be present. True friends know and cherish each others soul. Friends makes our life livable and lovable.

In my life from the point I can remember, I have been blessed with many such friends who all have supported me immensely when I was down, when i was thrashed badly by fate...my friends were always there beside me to endorse me and provided me the strength to strike back. Here, i would like to take the privilege of this platform to thank my buddies for all their love, trust and everything and want to say that 'Life would be hell without you guys...thanks a lot for being with me...being my friend !!'.

KEEP LIFE ROCKING FELLAS !!

Wishing you all a VeRy HaPpY fRiEnDsHiP dAy...!!
