Salute The Nation

It was August 15, 1947,
the nation woke up breathing in the air of freedom to herald a new beginning.It is the freedom that gave India a new Identity as a sovereign country after 300 years of colonial rule.

It was free to govern its destiny. The Indian history had written
yet another chapter in its book.Soon the pages will be turned and another chapter would be written. Time has the quality to put a blanket over the past.At the time of independence, India was just recovering from the effects of second world war and the post-war reconstruction schemes had to be completed without delay. Since independence, India has made enormous strides & faced enormous problems. The mere fact that India has not like so many other Third World countries, succumbed to dictatorships, military rule or wholesale foreign invasion is a testament to the basic strength of the country's government and institutions. Economy has made major steps forward in improving agricultural Output and Industries have expanded to the stage where India is one of the World's top ten Industrial powers.

Today, the Indian economy is a dynamic one & a vibrant one. The true measure of India's success is that India has transformed itself from a Third world country into one of the World's fastest growing economies.

Since then, August 15, today, it has become a day of special significance - celebrated with the Tricolor, the parades, the patriotic speeches and songs, the remembrance...............
Make sure to be a part of it...................

Stopping By Woods On A Snowy Evening


Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village, though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.

My little horse must think it's queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.

He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there's some mistake.
The only other sound's the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.

The woods are lovely, dark, and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.

Poem lyrics of Stopping By Woods On A Snowy Evening by Robert Frost.
