INDEPENDENCE DAY

Last week we celebrated the INDEPENDENCE DAY , like every year . I personally feel , in an independent country , this day gradually loses its importance . This is a paradox itself that when the country is ruled by another , it struggles for freedom . But once they attain it , its relevance starts to decrease .

Actually , we are born after so many years of freedom struggle that we can’t relate ourselves to those days . May be that is the reason we are not conscious that we are a citizen of a free country . So we don’t act in a responsible way always . It comes to us as a natural thing , a fact . We really can’t do anything to carry on the memories of those days with us . That won’t be a practical step either (i.e.—only to remember and pay respect to the freedom fighters ) .

The main action which we all can do is to devote our time to upliftment of our country . Actually money , time and sincere effort – all are needed in this journey . We can find many faults regarding our country , but we should not forget that it is our MOTHERLAND . So we have our duty towards it .
The thinking should not be ‘what this country has given me’ , but how much I can do for my country . With our genuine endeavours , we can help the country to progress . Simply by being helpful and doing good to others .
Another thing I want to write about is -- CORRUPTION . No doubt it is a BIG problem for our country at the present time . Every person gets motivated by his/her own selish aim in life and forgets their role in the larger scheme of things . Thus corruption spreads from a small origin and takes a big shape after some time . Every person has to fight against it , otherwise it can’t be cured . If we behave in the proper way , be aware of our responsibilities , think and act sincerely and keep the issue of our NATION in our mind , then our culminative effort will definitely show its result in the betterement of our country --- our very own the great –INDIA .

With best wishes ,
