India turns 61!

India turned 61 a few hours back. I am not a big follower on politics etc but i just hope that issues like communal riots which have broken out in the past 61 years many times, poverty which has afflicted millions, terrorism which has left us crippled many times should come down this year in India. Everything is defined by the people of the country. The least we can do is to not have biases against different religions or communities. India has been secular ever since its birth and we must maintain that feeling in our minds not just to print in the books. If all citizens do this minimum possible of living together as Indians and hold no distinctions between north or south or east or west or based on religion/caste etc , India would be a much more peaceful state. On controlling these internal issues we can stand much stronger against thousands of other issues which India faces.

Now coming to the celebrations , I am sure lots of colorful Kites must be decorating the skies. I do miss the unsuccessful Kite Flying attempts with my brother M. Although this time when i was in India we both did have one attempt successful. I bought a Toy Story huge plastic kite from here when i went to India. One fine windy morning, me and M went down to fly the kite. I was holding the manjha for him as usual. The wind was very high and our Kite went up flying! It was so much fun..
