Happy New Year 2008

Greetings

New Year Greetings

We will open the book. Its pages are blank. We are going to put words on them ourselves. The book is called Opportunity and its first chapter is New Year’s Day.

New Year’s Resolution:
                            I do think New Year’s resolutions can’t technically be expected to begin on New Year’s Day, don’t you? Since, because it’s an extension of New Year’s Eve, smokers are already on a smoking roll and cannot be expected to stop abruptly on the stroke of midnight with so much nicotine in the system. Also dieting on New Year’s Day isn’t a good idea as you can’t eat rationally but really need to be free to consume whatever is necessary, moment by moment, in order to ease your hangover. I think it would be much more sensible if resolutions began generally on January the second.

One resolution I have made, and try always to keep, is this: To rise above the little things.

The only way to spend New Year’s Eve:
                             Spend New Year’s Eve is either quietly with friends or in a brothel. Otherwise when the evening ends and people pair off, someone is bound to be left in tears.

A happy New Year :

Grant that I
May bring no tear to any eye
When this New Year in time shall end
Let it be said I’ve played the friend,
Have lived and loved and labored here,
And made of it a happy year.

The Patriot

15^th August, 2007 It’s our Independence Day. The independence which is for everyone irrespective of their Cast, Color and Creed. We have always lived by setting examples, just turn few pages of our history and you will find the July 26, 1999 a day when the determined Indian forces in Kargil achieved a glorious victory over the retreading Pakistan army and we are the same nation which showed the world that Independence can be achieved by following footsteps of Mahatma Gandhi, - ” Satyagrah and Ahinsa “.

We are living in the 60^th year of our glorious independence. Although we may be counted as young country in terms of years of independence however we have grown a lot as a nation. We planned Economic development - Eight Five Year Plans implemented, 9^th under implementation. 10^th most industrialized country in the world. 6^th nation to achieve Nuclear Power. Kaleidoscope of cultural heritage. Over 1700 languages and dialects - common historical experience - Unity in Diversity.

So on this auspicious day lets Salute to all those who fought for our freedom and lets roar as one Nation.
