Dear Friends,

 

Good Evening ........Best Wishes for a Happy Independence Day...........children must be waiting

eagerly to go to school for flag hoisting.one more glorious day we could attend with holding our heads high.the beautiful evening  reminds me the sacrifices done by the various leaders for winning freedom for our country.I salute you,the great national leaders and the lakhs of common men who valued the mother land more than their lives.here is a day to remember our duties as true indians while enjoying the freedom which is gifted to us.while shouting for the rights that we should get,we must perform our duties for the betterment of our countries.

The life history of Mahatma Gandhi,Nehruji,Subhash Chandra Bose were a few books which inspired me in childhood and they still do.with the same anxiety and enthusiasm i read line by line.they helped me a lot to understand the meaning of freedom.let us live and let others live peacefully.let it be the basic principle of life.without knowing our culture and values we can't instil the right values in our lives.

 

The Independence Day is a national holiday in India. The flagship event takes place in Delhi where the Prime Minister hoists the National Flag at the Red Fort, followed by a nationally broadcast speech from its  ramparts.The day is observed all over India with flag-hoisting ceremonies, parades and cultural events. Citizens rejoice the day by displaying the national flag on their attire, household accessories, vehicles; varied activities such as kite flying, bonding with family and friends, and enjoying patriotic songs and films are seen.

 

At midnight, as India moved into 15 August 1947, Jawaharlal Nehru delivered the Tryst with destiny speech proclaiming India's independence.

“

Long years ago we made a tryst with destiny, and now the time comes when we shall redeem our pledge, not wholly or in full measure, but very substantially. At the stroke of the midnight hour, when the world sleeps, India will awake to life and freedom. A moment comes, which comes but rarely in history, when we step out from the old to the new, when an age ends, and when the soul of a nation, long suppressed, finds utterance. It is fitting that at this solemn moment, we take the pledge of dedication to the service of India and her people and to the still larger cause of humanity. —Tryst with destiny speech, Jawaharlal Nehru, 15 August 1947 Dominion of India became an independent country as official ceremonies took place in New Delhi in which Jawaharlal Nehru assumed the office as the first PrimMinister, and the viceroy, Lord Mountbatten, continued as its first Governor General.

”

 

 

 

Great personalities of the freedom struggle,

And the lay men who felt the pulse of our country,

 

We thank you for the freedom you've gifted us!

I't's our duty to safe gurad it now.

We salute you on this grand day of freedom,

Happy are we for the rights we enjoy;

Each n every day we listen to the stories;

And the various battles you had participated;

We are proud of our Mother Land,

United we will stand and we won't get divided;

Thanks for teaching us,Mother;

Human being is more important;

Irrespective of caste,creed and religion,

 

The colour of blood is always red,

And all Indians are my brothers and sisters.

In this land of Himalayas and the holi rivers,

The fame of the country is known for peace ;

where the most spiritual leaders have born;

the whole country is blessesd with natural beauty;

I feel the greatness of a proud Indian;

MERA BHARAT MAHAN HAI............

HAPPY RAKSHA BANDHAN!!!

It is raining these days...Cool breeze is blowing...Chamapka tree is full of bright yellow flowers!The small birds are singing for me...Life with Amma in Trichur is so refreshing and soothing.Nature is at its best!

Happiness is all around.It's celebration time .One after another people are busy celebrating events and festivals and .The atmosphere calm .
Raksha Bandhan is more of cultural festival and at temples located insome places. A large number of hindu girls and boys gather to celebrate the festival.It is celebrated with different rituals,family gettogethers and sweets.Raksha bandhan is about sentiments,love and enjoyment.like any other festival it has its unique significance.Raksha means protection.Bandhan means bondage;so,Raksha Bandhan is a bondage that protects usriends today's post is dedicated to my loving brothers.
who mean a lot to us- -me and nanda. las you all know, we are five children of our parents-hum paanch.the star of my blog,nanda is great.whenever I write about amma,i talk about nanda too.and here we present our beloved brothers before you.The love is the superior feeling that over rules the small fights and arguements.When we face a problem,we are sure more than us ,our siblings are worried.They keep a track of the daily happenings .They join us in our joys and sorrows,give us moral support when we feel , we are losing our courage.they offer us the shoulder to lean and cry,to hold their hands when we are about to lose balance and to face the lives with positive attitude.
Kunjettan,my second brother introduces us to the world of spiritual and serious reading and he gifts amma many such books.As you all know,nanda is the sweet favourite sissy,but they love me a lot.I still give ample opportunities for all to scold me and to remind me blogging is not life.There are other things that Iam neglecting and Kunjettan,he wants me to write in magazines not in blog.Still,iam taken care of,they get upset when iam not on chats or phone or mails.My God,thanks a lot for this wonderful relations!orelse where I would have been!and when my phone call doesn't reach kunjettan once aweek,he complains to amma.I am so happy this time,my big brother is with me on this auspicious day and I have a lovely cute Rakhi to tie on his hand!

Ettan,our eldest brother,

 

the most loving and caring,

 

he expresses his love n care,

by words and actions,

who reaches out to all,

when his presence is needed,

generous enough to shower us with gifts,

who sits and chats with my friends,

who has a very good sense of humour,

ettan and family and nanda and family

they were never away from us,

as both of them could vist in week ends,

they got together for celebrations,

and lived happily in the beautiful city.

I was pampered a lot,

during my visit to the middle east,

I named them and they got them !

Kunjettan ,our second brother,

who believes in certain principles,

a product of REC [now NIT] calicut,

passed out M.TECH, standing first in the university,

so simple and humble,who has high thoughts,

works with satellites and missiles,

down to earth and guides me alot,

he lives a peaceful life with family

and just because of you,brother,

 

kunjettan,we can never forget,

your efforts and the time spent

kunjettan does a lot of charity

And he is so kind hearted

and the youngest of us is Madhav,

all of you know him very well,

from my earlier post,Happy Doctor's Day!;

the brilliant,the favourite of our family,

the most beloved and adventurous,

 

who has time for kids and plays with them,

 

the service minded doctor of the society,

 

Nanda and me are really blessed,

to have the wonderful brothers in our life.

wherever we will be,near or far,

our prayers and love will be always with you,

our dearest brothers,we love you a lot,

 

may you always be blessed,

with that is the best in your lives,

and we are really happy and grateful,

Dear GOD,you are so kind to us,

our bond strengthens by each passing day!

Girls those who don't have a brother search for a boy and give him the rakhi,making him a dharm-bhai[a brother with the same belief].but I know,most of the boys run away from rakhis.:)

Friends I have a code word with people whom I meet.when any one starts taking the advanced step,I remind them the pledge,''All Indians are my brothers.................................''enough.They know where they should stay.

and today's dedication is for all the brothers from us-

Thanks to all my online brothers and I am happy that you love your sister!:)

Anu loves you DILSE.............................please bring the special smile on the face of your sisters..........[and dear brothers will assure the life long love and protection]....

With cool showers and a wonderful and an auspicious day,

Sasneham,
