My India, My Pride
Thanks all of you for answering the questions I put forward in the last post. Now here are my answers to my own questions:
Independence to me is the ability to grow as an individual and be responsible for my own life
The most important freedom, is free speech and the right to endeavor to make a better life for myself without reservations of any kind binding me.
For me my country is my greatest pride and I blindly love it. And my greatest moment of pride was when India's first man in space Rakesh Sharma answered while orbiting the earth, " Saare jahan se acha" to the question by then Prime Minister Mrs. Indira Gandhi, "mera bharat kaisa lag raha hai?"
And the moment in my own life which best symbolises freedom is when I decided to write this blog and air my views on my own forum without fear.
HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY TO ONE AND ALL!!!

Hey Mampi,
lets say i fudged the results since i answered the questions I had set...actually I think everyone of us who has the jasba of patiroitism is beautiful
Animesh...it may not be the best if you study it point by point but its mine and thats what makes me feel that way. Every mother's face is the most loved by the child who calls her ma no matter where she may stand in the Miss world contest dont u think?
Yes its we who have let her down and yes its us who have to stand up and better her lot.
feel the passion of freedom and possibilities rush through your veins... :)
Hey flying stars...thanks had a wonderful time. Hope you guys did too.
hi Panchajanya,
welcome to my enchanted world.
To 'react' is a slightly agressive term which has at its base an action taken by another and at times almost a kneejerk action in turn on our part while 'speech' is more positive and does not have such implications.
I will stay with speech.
Well said. Speech over action. Dialogue over dhishum-dhishum.
Anyway, I came here to comment because your reminiscing over the Indira Gandhi-Rakesh Sharma exchange almost brought tears to my eyes.
Notice how Indira Gandhi didn't say Hindostan, she said Bharat. Using Bharat should please the despicable, pro-retardation sangh parivar na?
Her grit and passion enthrall me. She maybe mistaken but she was never one for non-action. I like that...endless debate over tea and biscuits need to go. Decisive action has to happen.
