A Generation Awakens

Being a republic nation has always bemused me and since my school days, it was just confined to seeing India-gate extravaganza on doordarshan and waiting for sweet distribution after the national anthem in school. Excuse me for not attending the republic day function in college for the last three years, but I finally made my mind to attend the director’s speech today.

After unfurling the flag, our honorable director, made same old-stuff about the struggle and valor of freedom fighters and chronological history of celebrating this day. But, I think his closing words might have stimulated few, as it something goes like- "There will be a day when India will be celebrating it's 100 republic day, and you people with lots of gray hairs- deciding the future of India by reaching heights of intellectualism and diving in sea of knowledge".. Big words huh!!.

Take any occasion, republic or independence day, and every time- we are referred to as future of India-though we are. But asking question to myself –we are gonna to shape future of country in some sense or how I can contribute to my country. This is really a significant question and whole motive of writing this post.

Well, dissecting the scenario- contributing to nation does not mean to me Ambani, Tatas or joining some political party or fighting at the front but stacking knowledge, wisdom and letting a helping hand for parallel growth of citizens by sustaining individualism. Patriotism is not just associated with singing national anthem and watching India-Pakistan Match but it consists of rational and emotional support for our history, culture, civic duties and moral values. It’s about envisaging one goals walking on the path of truth and morality, away from corruption and dishonesty. If everyone thinks of staying away from corruption and dishonesty, then it automatically serve the recipe of patriotism. Currently, India is a young society interspersed with 5000 years of history, and tracing the lineage path of our culture reminds of integrity, valor and achieving the unachievable, I do feel that here in DA-IICT people have potential to climb ladders of quintessence and putting triumphing Indian name in diverse arenas. Live life the way you want, enjoy every moment of accomplishment and also think about giving back to your country

We are the hybrid products of modern India which rocks, listen MTV but still attached to roots-yet contemporary yet modern isn’t. Patriotism is not a concept of history books; it’s a feeling comes every time when India wins in cricket match or listening Lata mangeshkar’s – ei merey watan key logon or dancing to bhangra ,garba or seeing flamboyant AB on screen. There are google instances which separates out Indians from world and all those cumulatively speaks-“Proud to Be an Indian”.

Bye All, Happy Republic Day
