HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY ( really?)

I wonder what it was really like on the eve of 15th August 1947 in India... I wonder what was going through Pandit. Jawaharlal Nehru's (first Prime Minister of Independent India) mind the mid night he gave that historical speech to the FREED nation and people. It was however interesting to know that Gandhiji went to Calcutta instead to be with the marginalized communities and people... Today we just celebrate the 67th Independence day... I wonder what was going through our present Prime Minister's mind when he stood and face the nation and gave that speech... did he ever felt what Nehru and Gandhiji felt that midnight? Did anyone of us felt so proud and truly felt the sense of freedom in a true sense? 


The murkier the politics are getting into around the world, the depravity for truth, justice and equally are at the verge of extinction. I sometimes wonder if John Lennon's infamous song " Imagine" comes true... Country after another country either because we do really care for one another or because every country will bow down and worship.. Technologies and spaceships's getting more and more accessible... everyone talks about rocket today...but hardly can find one who talks about FORGIVENESS. Infact corruption has become a household name. It spreads faster than cancer. GENDER ISSSUES, RAPE, TERRORISM, INFLATION, POLITICS, RESERVATION, etc etc....Our own countries faces different circumtances but the reality of our HEARTS are the same..... No one goes away scot free. We take home our own share of realities. If you happen to read this article, I beseech you buddies to look around and see that though the problem seems gigantic, it is never too late to start making a difference. There is no wrong time to do good...
