SHAHEED DIWAS!

March 23, 1931: Bhagat Singh, Shivaram Rajguru and Sukhdev Thapar were hanged for murder during the Indian struggle for independence. The day is celebrated as Shaheed Diwas or Martyr's Day.What they did for the nation, was it so insignificant that we take the liberty to forget and remember them and this day of and on?

Today, we the citizens of Independent India salute them and thousands like them who became martyrs then so we could see independent today. Thanks to you and to all defense personnel serving the country day and night. 


Vande Mataram!!

Happy Holi

Phooldeyi is Uttarakhandi New Year. On this day,  kids with flowers in hands go to all nearby houses (in Uttarakhand villages basically; nobody does it in cities!) and sing these lines; they get jaggery/sweets in return. The lines basically mean that may the year be auspicious for you and you always have enough food for yourself and your guests in this year. May their always be friendship between you and us so that we keep greeting (say 'Namaskar' to) each other.

Either we don't learn or life is unfair!!

Earthquake & Psunami hits Japan...We all will talk..discuss..pray for Japanese today..may be tomorrow and may be another few days...Then we'll forget everything & move on..just as we forgot the rainstorms & cloudburst that hit Uttarakhand in Sep'10... :( GOD BE WITH THEM WHO NEED YOU!!
