INDEPENDENCE DAY of INDIA

 INDEPENDENCE DAY 

Dear God

        I am so thankful to you. 15 years and 4 months from today, you decided that I should take birth in the small tiny planet earth. You asked me"Where would you like to be born on earth?". I was in a dilemma. Some countries were rich in human resources and some with natural resources. Some countries were rich in dollars and some with culture. I want everything in my human life but I couldn't find a single country that holds both the face of a coin. Among all the 197 countries of the world you pointed your finger to the southernmost country of Asia. I looked up to you and you smiled back to me and said "In the whole universe there is only one place which can be compared to heaven, not built by me but by the hearts of the people that live there. It is the most beautiful rainbow in real sense, diverse in every respect but yet united by love and respect. There is no country like India." His description about India was so wonderful, I decided at once "I want to be born in India". After so many years I realized that his words were not just for description , those words were the description about the people of India and their hearts.There would never be a second country like Indian. I love my India and proud to say that I am an Indian.
