Wish to every one a very happy independence day, a warm and happy Rakshbandhan. Our nation is now 61 year old as an independent free country. Post independence growth is a matter of discussion but anyway today we are one of the noticeable nation in the world.

In last 45 years, I have noticed that kids are getting more pocket money, many fold increase in vehicles on the road, more properties on the land, more factories in industrial estates, huge reserve of foreign currencies, better health care facilities, better communication and other technological advances. Infact in almost every field, our country is at par with developed nations except infrastructure, roads, water management, transportation etc. I am sure it would also be achieved in few years. But will we be able to remove terrorism, corruption, greedyness , negative attitude and habit of pulling others instead of moving ourself?

Rakshabandhan is the begining of festivals in our country and Holi marks the end. In between we celebrate many hindu, muslim, sikh and christian festivals. Let us wish happy to all these festivals.
