The 65th year and counting....

As we approach our 65th year of independence, I personally cant be more proud of a nation that has achieved so much and loses so little to its counterparts , sure we have our short comings and loads of problems much more than we all would like to care , sure still its a country that has its place on the world map and competing with super nations if you will. Being a nation of mostly tolerant people , by tolerant I mean in acceptance of all nationalities , religions , cultures and languages and I can assure you there are many. Considering this  prevalent trait in majority of the individuals , ambition however is not lost here , we , besides our economic issues, have managed to become powers in space programmes, nuclear power, medicine ,tourism not to mention a few world cups and championships in the world sport, all this being one of the youngest countries at 65 years. Our history does go further than that figure quite a bit more , to some time in the BCs .

Having put this note on a forum which would be read by my friends and well wishers , I am not sure what you have liked in this writer to have been associated as either a friend or well wisher but whatever it is, it has surely come out of living almost breathing the colourful exuberance and existence that we call and love, INDIA ......let me wish all those who would be reading this a very happy Independence Day, 65 years and counting , with many more magical and exciting moments, to come and as the law suggests a few not so but, hell of a lot to look forward to.......
