| Lets celebrate 59 years of Independence.. |
| Tuesday, August 15, 2006 |
Today is an occasion to celebrate the freedom of our great democracy while we remember with great reverence the sacrifice that thousands of our brave countrymen gave for this cause.
Away from home, India's Independence Day evokes many memories of excitement from the past, all the once-familiar sights of the flags being unfolded and the rendering of the national anthem accompanying each unfurling. Although we have left India, for many of us, our roots remain soaked in saffron, white and green.
I salute with gratitude, all the great people who sacrificed their lives for our country. The patriotic tone of this melodious song by Lata Mangeshkar still carries me away.
Ai mere vatan ke logon
tum khoob lagaa lo naaraa
ye shubh din hai ham sab kaa
laharaa lo tirangaa pyaaraa
par mat bhoolo seema par
veeron ne hai praan ganvaae
kuchh yaad unhen bhii karlo
jo laut ke ghar na aaye
Ai mere vatan ke logon
zaraa aankh mein bhar lo paani
jo shaheed hue hain unki
zaraa yaad karo qurbaani
jai hind... jai hind ki senaa
jai hind, jai hind, jai hind |
