Happy Independence Day!

On 13th I did my fourth Toastmasters speech and my subject was "My Country". The comments from the audience really made me feel happy and I thought it was well received. I did make one mistake when I included reference to a religion along with other "Western Invaders" who had ransacked India over the past 1000 years - but it was not at all intentional. Anyway - the key is that the passion was evident.

On another blog that I was reading, someone had mentioned that over the years the meaning of Independence Day had got lost - kind of diluted or withered away. Not that I disagree but then I feel it is how one sees it - lets not worry about how others percieve it - if each one of us have that feeling - it doesn't matter how others see it. if each one of us can at least make a difference to the veiws in our group - the change will come in.

We had a get-together yesterday and had our own flag hosting ceremony and also sang our National anthem - felt kind of good.

When was the last time you celebrated Independence Day or called someone to wish "Happy Independene Day" - if you haven't done so - do it now...!

Coming back to senses...

Have been out of touch for quite a while...! Last one year has been quite a roller coaster ride....unexpected things have thrown up lots of questions for which answers are hard to come by.

Over this period I had though about lots of topics to write on...one of them being this year's  wimbledon...but then didn't reallyget around to DO it....!

Hoping that this post just acts as the inertia to keep things flowing....
