Watch out ur Independence Day!!!!

We are celebrating Independence day to remember the day when we got freedom which is similar to celebrating  our B'day, rit?

I personally feel that this day is a pit stop to ensure that we are racing in our life & taking this country fwd with the values it was ment for, along with the vision in focus...
Everyone on this earth have\had their own reasons to do what they do\did., Same way our freedom fighters would also had a dream of India & few values to support their dream.
It's the duty of the grand children to take forward the dreams of their grand parents, if its toward the positive side. I know everyone will agree this & are also ready to change the dreams in to action.But still what we miss here is to know the dream & the values to guide them. It's like missing the map in the hurry of reaching the destination.

Honestly to say even I'm one among the racers without the map. So I thought this blog would act as a pit stop.
Let's talk about our freedom fighters, their principles - its relevance & existence in the modern India. 
Even a web link would help us!!!!
