Month: August 2007

Tomorrow, on 15th August, India will wake up to celebrate its 60th independence day. Its a moment of happiness and of being proud about all those people who did the struggle and laid their lives for freedom. After 60 years, there are a lot of things that have changed and more importantly still a lot more remains to be changed.

There are things like illiteracy, religion based riots, corruption, poverty, basic education for everybody, more employment for youth, making youth aware of great Indian culture and so on. If you run an eye around, there are thousands of issues, you see, that need to be addressed. We, the citizens of India need to be more responsible about everything happening around to make India a beautiful country. So with all the hopes here is wishing India & everybody a very very Happy Independence Day.
