Aug 15.. Indian Independance Day

Vande Mataram (My obeisance to Mother India!).. -> Indian National Song So much of History behind these sweet lines? Wow.. I used to think.. " Aug 15 was all about a day off from school.. chocolates and meeting people for a flag hosting" . Look at the way I specify the main event(flag hosting) at the end!! Anyway.. dwelling deep into the history behind the beautiful lines.. It is generally believed that the concept of Vande Mataram came to Bankimchandra Chattopadhyay when he was still a government official under the British Raj. Around 1870, the British rulers of India had declared that singing of "God Save the Queen" (National Anthem of the U.K) would be mandatory.He wrote it in a spontaneous session using words from two languages he was expert in, Sanskrit and Bengali. However, the song was initially highly criticized for the difficulty in pronunciation of some of the words.The song first appeared in Bankimchandra Chattopadhyay's book Anandamatha (pro...

"Drench in my tears!"

"Drench in my tears!"..-- Words of a bird Cuddling my kids tight inside the nest.. Struggling to draw barriers to my wet face, I heard a talking-being say"If I were a bird!" Yes, I might LOOK free.. I can fly.. But.. my looks might have deceived you. I flew high above and kicked The water-logged clouds To make those beings "Drench in the tears of Birds", and said..If I were a happy bird ! -Aparna Dated: 06/13/08

Words of a confused mind-

Each one of us are born with a purpose. Make her/his lips curve into a smile and there you learn the art of life..bringing heights of happiness. After all…life is all about struggle and joy. Every time you struggle for something or feel low, just think of the distant smile that is waiting to fall on your lips.. Feeling low.... I know how bad it is when we are not understood by some(or many ..or everyone). And when our feelings are not respected..or at least considered, there comes the pricking pain piercing the heart of emotions. Is this the purpose of my life? to shed tears? to be humiliated? We start wondering about the reason of our existence..a self realization. This can bring out the hidden emotions and makes us realize that we are not inferior to any damn person on earth. All of us are talented in a way. Why hide that? Don't we know about our own capabilities? are we so damn dumb? No..absolutely not. We can do anything and everything provided we have the urge to do it. We sho...
