Wishing a happy Independence Day to all our members and their family. May this day continue remind everyone of the many symbolism of freedom that 15th August stands for. While we celebrate, we must also remember the value of freedom and nurture it at the same time.
While I was posting this message, kids outside my house (we have a school nearby) were singing "
Sare Jahan Se Achcha Hindostan Hamara" - by Dr. Iqbaal. It reminded me of my school days.
sare jahaГѓВ± se achcha hindostaГѓВ± hamara
ham bulbuleГѓВ± haiГѓВ± us ki vuh gulsitaГѓВ± hamara
ghurbat meГѓВ± hoГѓВ± agar ham, rahta hai dil vat?an meГѓВ±
samjho vuhiГѓВ± hameГѓВ± bhi dil ho jahaГѓВ± hamara
parbat vuh sab se uГѓВ±cha, hamsayah asmaГѓВ± ka
vuh santari hamara, vuh pasbaГѓВ± hamara
godi meГѓВ± khelti haiГѓВ± us ki hazaroГѓВ± nadiyaГѓВ±
gulshan hai jin ke dam se rashk-e janaГѓВ± hamara
ay ab-rud-e ganga! vuh din haiГѓВ± yad tujh ko?
utara tire kinare jab karavaГѓВ± hamara
mazhab nahiГѓВ± sikhata apas meГѓВ± bair rakhna
hindi haiГѓВ± ham, vat?an hai hindostaГѓВ± hamara
yunan-o-mi?r-o-ruma sab mi? ga?e jahaГѓВ± se
ab tak magar hai baqi nam-o-nishaГѓВ± hamara
kuchh bat hai kih hasti mi?ti nahiГѓВ± hamari
sadiyoГѓВ± raha hai dushman daur-e zamaГѓВ± hamara
iqbal! ko?i ma?ram apna nahiГѓВ± jahaГѓВ± meГѓВ±
ma?lum kya kisi ko dard-e nihaГѓВ± hamara!
Nostalgic!
Proud to be an Indian and hope you feel the same way!
