Auspicious Day - 15th AUgust 2008

Today is my first post for my blog and I am glad that it has started on the very special day for all the Indians. We have just entered into the 62nd year of our Independence. Today is 16th of August and the clock has just crossed the 15th. Independence Day, this word Independence has too many emotions in it. We the young generation will never feel the agony, the cheer or the passion for independence. And I am saying this not because it is written again and again in newspapers or magazines that young generation will never feel the importance of independence, but i do feel it strongly. Often we take the miss interpretation of independence. Here I think I have started the speech. Well the basic motto of writing this blog of mine is to splurge out all the things running in my mind day and night. I don’t know, it has any worth or not but I want to write it so I am writing it, as simple as that. So here I am sharing the experience of mine on the day of 15th of August 2008. Well I have started my day late in the morning as usual, and the first thing I did after I woke up is to put on the Television, this is not something I do everyday but today since childhood my mother fills an expression in our mind that, on such kind of days whatever our Prime minister or our President speaks to the nation is very much important and we have to see the parade of our armed forces and of other various states. But I forgot that all such happenings are of 26th January, which is our Republic day, so I just scrolled up the channels, and I saw one movie was there on Bharat Ratna Dr Bheem Rao Ambedkar and I have seen the whole movie. I don’t know why, but if you can ask to any Indian who has something in their hearts and mind for their country, today we feel something different within us, I don’t know about others but I do feel the difference from other days. Anyways for Indians Dr. Ambedkars name is not new and those who don’t know about this great man should read about him. Firstly a brief introduction of Dr Ambedkar, he came from the most oppressed community of Indian society and reached to the pinnacle of the Indian Politics and showed a path of light to each individual who belongs to the oppressed community anywhere in the world. After that movie, my day started and I was fully charged up and enthusiastic about the day, after my breakfast I headed to meet my friend came for Rakshabandhan (An Indian Festival) from Pune. After that I cam back home and again I sit in front of television, nowadays Beijing Olympics are going on, and one of our Indian has created the history called Abhinav Bindra, the hero, I have seen his victory moment on Television so many times till now and every time I saw the moment that Indian Flag is up above all other flags and Our National Anthem is playing on foreign land, I am just so thrilled. Now this pleasant gift to the nation just before Independence day is an excellent gift, one more good news for India today on 15th August that, one more Indian Hero Akhil Kumar has entered into the Quarter Finals of Boxing championship after defeating the world champion from Russia called Sergei. I saw the interview of Akhil Kumar on T.V and one tremendous line he has said that “Whenever I play in the ring, always my effort is to make my opponent and everyone in the arena should know that the player is from India, that is the impact I want to create, that is the only name “India” I want to hear again and again in the Arena. I just want to WIN and nothing else”. I feel that these are our modern days Patriots, who just want to win for the country nothing more and nothing less. There are lot of names you will heard everywhere on 15th August, Shaheed Bhagat Singh, Subhash Chandra Bose, Lal BAhadur Shahstri, Mahatma Gandhi, Jawahar Lal Nehru, Sardar Patel, Maulana Azaad, Chandrashekhar Azaad, Bahadur Shah Zafar and many others. These are the names of our Freedom Fight Heroes. These are the real heroes. In all of the above mentioned names, Shaheed Bhagat Singh was the youngest one. At the age of 23 years, he was hanged till death by the Britishers and he fearlessly kisses his death Dias for his country. Now I am feeling bit sleepy so ….i will continue in my next post Bye n take care
