Hi Friends

Today is again a day of celebration as it is the birthday of the Father of our Nation, Mahatma Gandhi. The life he lived and the quotes, he has made are all inspiring to all of us. For me, the favorite quote by Gandhiji is,

"Your courage comes from accepting yourself and standing up to your points of views. Expecting people's support for your point of view is cowardice."

His way of fighting wars in a non-violent way without any weapon has inspired many Westerners to fight the same way for their goals.

As another point, today is the birthday of Lal Bahadur Shastri (our former Prime Minister) also. He was a short person, but he stands tall among the statesmen of India and whose life is also an inspiration for all of us.

Let us all try to follow some of the principles, which they have lived by which is the best way of remembering these two great persons.

Cheers to you all,
