Happy Independence Day

Happy Independence Day.

15th August is marked as an Independence day in India's history. I used to get happy, in my childhood, on this day... no wonder since it was a no school day. Slowly I started understanding, what we are celebrating.... an 'Independence' day. That takes me back to Non-Independence era. And when I reads about that time.... 150 years of ruling... 4 to 5 generations of slavery.... I am certainly not happy.

India was not united when Britishers ruled the country. Whatever the case, it makes me sad on this day. We, Indians, fell short to get rid of outsiders for such a long time.

On this day we shall assure ourselves not to get into such a big mistake ever again for next generations. Remember we have not yet reached 150 years of Independence!! Be united and be disciplined.

Jai Bharat.

Sikome Weekend

Calgary is hot now-a-days and getting hotter day by day. People are crowding at lakes and beaches on weekends.... so do we. This time we decided to go to Sikome lake which is just 5 minutes drive from our home. It's an artificial lake... which means the lake is filled with forced water supply. 5 families were sufficient to enjoy the Saturday evening. Here is a slide show of the picnic.
