I wish all Indians a very happy independence day. 350 millions people won their freedom on this day. It this not worth a celebration? We should remember and thank each and every freedom fighter who had participated in the non-violent war against the British. The freedom that we enjoy today is because of these great warriors. Let’s salute them on this auspicious day.
Its been 62 years since we got our independence. We have evolved quite rapidly over the years. Today, almost every ear is listening and every eye is watching us, is this not because of our greatness we have developed during these years. Indians are known for their intelligence; innovation, engineering, tradition, culture, courage, values, valor, honesty, truthfulness, loving nature, and lot more. We have developed an identity for ourselves. This identity values more than our trillion economy. These days we have huge influence on the American and the European culture. But let’s preserve the Indianism i.e. special qualities we are best known for. Please don’t sacrifice your values for anything not even for God sake. Wherever you are, be proud to be an Indian and always live like an Indian.
Enjoying this gorgeous identity, mother
Wear the flag close to your heart and show how dearly you love your nation.
Happy Independence Day.
Best wishes

Its been almost a year since we started the anti-corruption mission. Most of you might be closely observing your activities contributing to corruption. The next phase is to react to our evil activities. For every evil act, take a punishment. I am not suggesting you to surrender to the police. Identify a daily activity of yours that you are very fond of. For instance, I am a gourmand. I can not avoid a meal. So when ever, I make a mistake and contribute to corruption, I fast the following day. Its quite difficult for me to take up this punishment. But I practice this because the next time when I try to make a mistake, I know that a self punishment is waiting for me.
It worked well with me. I still remember my feelings when I fasted the first time. When I started, I had mixed feeling. In the first place, I didn't want to do it. Then I thought, Why am I doing all this and ruining my health? I had several such thoughts. But I was determined and successfully completed the fast. After the fast, I was totally a different person. I was quite happy. I don't even know if its happiness but I had a very nice feeling. The fact that I tried to be honest and contributed for the betterment of the society, made be feel so happy. I was quite excited to realize that I adhered to some principles and even practiced them. My blood pumped quite fast and what not....Today, trying to analyze that incident; I know that I haven't done anything that day. But truly speaking, it was that good feeling which let me further. The special feeling, I experienced that day gave me the motivation to fight against anti-corruption from my side. There are many good things I learnt on that day.
The idea might seem silly. But guys give it a try. I promise you will definitely enjoy it. Make your first move….lets stop contributing to corruption…
Every one of us is striving hard to abolish corruption from our minds and free the shackles for development in India. All those who are closely following this mission has to acknowledge that this can not be realized in a few weeks or months but it will take several years to actually see the fruits for our current efforts. In our journey, so far we have done a lot but unfortunately we do not see any results to rejoice. This is de-motivating a lot of us. I wish to take a few minutes to explain what we achieved so far.
All long journeys also start with a first step. That is what we have done during the last year. During the early days we discussed about what each one of us thinks about corruption. I still remember the days when we all blamed Govt. officials and politicians for all the corruption prevailing in our country. After through analysis we did find out that each one of us is equally nurturing and promoting corruption. This is a significant outcome of the first phase of our mission. We are closely observing and conscious about all our activities contributing to corruption. Today we are in a better shape to understand what we are doing and why we are doing things to promote corruption.
Our contributions to corruption might be quite small. But we know the long term consequences of our petty activities towards corruption. We did realize that in this process, we are corrupting our brains by making ourselves believe that all our actions towards corruption are minor and will not harm anyone (which is not true). The main reasons for our mean actions are lack of time because the righteous process is cumbersome and we are scared of future consequences that we might face if we do not bribe.
But are we really scared to face the reality? You guys are very energetic, smart and well educated. You can always find solutions to any given problem. You do not have to be corrupted to realize your dreams. What we have done so far is to realize that any act towards corruption is a crime. Right now, we might not be in a position to completely stop corruption. But we will make steady progress.
We made our first move, let’s get going …This success belongs to each one of us
From the feedback, I received for my blog, I do realize that most of you believe that it is not always possible to stop giving bribes. Many have given their practical situations where they have no option but to bribe in order to get their critical things done. Let me discuss this issue from another front.
Everyday we read, listen and mourn for the holy sacrifices of our brave soldiers across the border. Why are these soldiers sacrificing their life for us? Some might argue that its their duty. How many of us are ready to die for our duty? How many of us will ever join a company that risks our life? But why are these soldiers sacrificing their life for us? The soldier’s primary motto is to protect the country from the evil elements entering our border. Their will and determination is so strong that they even risk their life. They do believe that if they do not sacrifice, many of their brothers and sisters in the country are at the risk of their lives. But are these sacrifices constrained only to the soldiers across the border or to the men in uniform?
In our daily life, we face many situations where we need to bribe. What happens if we do not bribe? We might probably lose our valuable time, hard earned money…we might even get hurt….. Are we not ready for these sacrifices? If we are not ready for losing such small things, then are we really eligible to enjoy the freedom given to us by our soldiers? Are we really respecting their sacrifices? Please do think and do not hesitate to sacrifice for the good of our country.
Happy Independence day

We wish to organize a blood donation camp in Duisburg on the 15th of August, 2009. But for all those we are donating for the first time, you have to go through a medical check up in advance (August 8th or atleast by August 10th). Please contact me @ 017624855631/02035089951 for further information.
For all those we wish to know more about blood donation follow the FAQ listed below:Donating blood is a safe process. Needles and bags used to collect blood are used only once and then discarded, making spread of infection to the donor not possible.
