Long years ago we made a tryst with destiny, and now the time comes when we will redeem our pledge, not wholly or in full measure, but very substantially. At the stroke of the midnight hour, when the world sleeps, India will awake to life and freedom. A moment comes, which comes but rarely in history, when we step out from the old to the new, when an age ends and when the soul of a nation, long suppressed, finds utterance …. We end today a period of ill fortune, and India discovers herself again.”

Let us all pray for India’s unity. Let us all pray for the happiness and uplift of the poor. Let us pray that India is free from all harm caused by the terrorists and other mad men. Let us pray that India is free from all diseases especially the latest disease which is growing at a very high rate, Swine Flu.

At last wish you all a HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY !
