The Independence Day…

It is 61st Independence Day of India. I have just come back home after flag hoisting ceremony in college. I immensely like to attend this ceremony. I have never missed any flag hoisting on 26th January and 15th August since my childhood. Even in my 11th and 12th when there was no official flag hoisting in my college I used to attend it in the school near my hostel. I sang Jana-Gana-Mana after a gap of approximately 6 months. We never get any chance for that only on Republic Day and Independence Day.

This is the last Independence Day of my graduation days. I am proud of attending all of them in last 3 years. I always feel great and proud when a large group of people sing the National Anthem as a single voice. I believe that it is the greatest song ever. No music, no professional singers but…Yes, It becomes the most beautiful song and whenever you are the part of it you feels of being an Indian! I have experienced it everytime I sing it. Rabindranath Tagore as one of the greatest poets and artists world has ever seen, gifted us this beautiful song! There have been many questions about our National Anthem also (as always in India). I was also one of the believers of that concept sometimes ago. But now the sky is clear! Whenever I hear it or sing it I feel that it is the most beautiful and enchanting song in the world. (I am repeating same thing again and again but I really cannot stop myself praising it)

The inflation rate has touched 12.44% meaning goods will be more costly these days. A.P.J has given the solution on inflation to increase the productivity. But until we stop believing ourselves as a market in the world() where things can be sold only no matter of generating it or producing it, its very difficult to increase productivity. World says anything can be sold in India. We have to change this mentality of buying always. We should be capable of producing also. It is not like that we do not produce anything. We are but we have to increase rate of production. We should be able to use the world's second largest manpower in an efficient way.

We should be proud of Ratan Tata who saw on a rainy day a man, his wife and their child on a scooter who were struggling not to be wet and in hurry of going home, decided at that moment that he would launch a car for such people. And now we are going to see Nano on roads in couple of months. The same company has proposed launch of car of 85lakhs. Tata is the single company in the world which has car starting from 1 lakh to 85 lakhs!

I have to go now… Good Bye! And be proud be an Indian!!! Happy independence Day!
