10 Reasons why I Should feel Proud to be an INDIAN

As the National Independence Day approaches, the patriotic feeling within us starts arousing. There are various points that makes us feel proud of being born in India. Here are the ten things  that makes me proud being an Indian:

1. ENVIRONMENT RICH WITH DIFFERENT FLAVORS:

India’s environment is rich with many different flavours. Beautiful Mountains, Graceful Rivers, Aggressive Desert and Dangerous Wildlife to name a few.

The police sub-inspector Mallikarjun Bande who was shot-declared him dead at 12.45 a.m

PSI.Mallikarjub Bande

The police sub-inspector Mallikarjun Bande who was shot at and injured in the head in a shoot out with a wanted person Munna Darbadar on January 8 died at the Yashoda Super Speciality Hospital in Hyderabad in the early hours of Wednesday. According to reports doctors at the hospital declared him dead at 12.45 a.m. after his vital organs started failing.

Karnataka People (We) Lost a Dedicated Inspector who use to work honestly !!
We Lost him due to Sheer Carelessness of Karnataka Govt and IGP.They (Govt)would have shifted immediately to London Hospital Where Malala was Treated for the Similar wound !!

Bande was put on the ventilator support soon after the surgery to remove the blood clots in his brain and stop the cerebral bleeding at the Basaveshwar Teaching and General Hospital in Gulbarga city on Wednesday last week.

He was then shifted to Yashoda Super Speciality Hospital on January 9 on was in coma stage. A team of doctors led by neurosurgeon Ranganadham attended Bande.

The officer's family members demanded that he be taken to the hospital in London where Malala Yousufzai, Pakistani school girl, underwent successful brain surgery after the Taliban shot her in the head for attending school.

However, doctors said he could be shifted only after he regained consciousness.

The health condition of Bande started deteriorating since Monday after his vital organs including both the kidneys showing signs of failure. Subsequently doctors put him on dialysis on Tuesday.

Meanwhile, the situation in Gulbarga was tense. Senior police officials including the Inspector General of Police Mohammad Wazir Ahmed and Superintendent of Police Amit Singh took stock of the situation to prevent any untoward incident in view of the Bande’s death. After the shootout incident, Bande has become a icon for the pro-Kannada and pro-Hindu organisations.

Police said 15 platoons of KSRP and 10 District Armed Reserve police battalion have been deployed in Gulbarga and other sensitive areas including Khajuri in Aland taluk, the native village of Bande as a precautionary measure. According to the reports reaching Gulbarga City, Sedam town was observing a spontaneous bandh and there were reports of different organisations resorting to rasta roko in different parts of the city.

The body of Bande has been shifted to Gandhi Hospital in Hyderabad for an autopsy. It would be brought in a vehicle to Khajuri village in Aland taluk and buried with full state honours.

Swami Vivekananda and why he is relevant a century later

The ideas of Swami Vivekananda have been a treasure for people across the world. In the backdrop of his 150th birth anniversary, it is imperative that one looks at his ocean of knowledge to seek more clarity. In my view, even though he lived a century ago, some of his views are applicable to today's young India more than any other era. I am no expert in his works but from my limited understanding thus far of his writing, the relevance to todays world is pretty significant. This might be striking but the visionary was so ahead of his time, that it is important to understand his views on the youth even today.

Anil Kumble: The Googly Master

Jumbo: Anil Kumble: the Googly Specialist

Full name: Anil Kumble

Born October 17, 1970, Bangalore, Karnataka

Major teams India, Asia XI, Karnataka, Leicestershire,Northamptonshire, Royal Challengers Bangalore, Surrey

Batting style Right-hand bat

Bowling style Legbreak googly

Profile

No bowler in history won India more Test matches than Anil Kumble, and there probably hasn't been a harder trier either. Like the great tall wristspinners Bill O'Reilly and his own idol BS Chandrasekhar, Kumble traded the legspinner's proverbial yo-yo for a spear, as the ball hacked through the air rather than hanging in it and came off the pitch with a kick rather than a kink. The method provided him stunning success, particularly on Indian soil, where his deliveries burst like packets of water upon the feeblest hint of a crack, and more than one modern-day batsman remarked that there was no more difficult challenge in cricket than handling Kumble on a wearing surface.

Brave Woman of Chitradurga : Onake Obavva

Introduction

Chitradurga Fort is renowned for its Kallina Kote / Ukinna kote / Yelu Suttina kote which were built in parts by the Palegar Veer Madakari Nayaka. It comprises a series of seven enclosure walls in Kannada. Eighteen ancient temples can be found inside the fort. The Fort of Chitradurga with seven circumambulations surrounds the seven hills of Chinmuladri range. Actually the construction of this fort started during 10th Century AD and completed in 18th Century AD during the rule of Palegars. According to an estimate the total length of the fort is about 8 Kms. This fort as 19 gateways, 28 postern gates, 35 secret entrances, 4 invisible entrances, 50 warehouses, apart from other monuments.

Madakari Nayaka ruled Chitradurga.  Hyder Ali, the ruler of Mysore wanted to besiege the fort of Chitradurga.  But many trails went vain and he was unable to occupy this fort. A chance sighting of a woman entering the Chitradurga fort through an opening in the rocks led to a clever plan by Hyder Ali to send his soldiers through the hole.

Swami Vivekananda The Great Indian

The Spiritual Genius of Swami Vivekananda

Swami Vivekananda is one of most admired spiritual leaders of India. The world knows him as an inspiring Hindu monk, his motherland regards him as the patriot saint of modern India, and Hindus consider him as a source of spiritual power, mental energy, strength-giving and open-mindedness.

Vivekananda was born on January 12, 1863, in a middle-class Bengali family of Calcutta. Narendranath Dutt, as he was called before sainthood, grew up to be a youth of great charm and intelligence. In a pre-independent India hidebound by communal disharmony and sectarianism, this blithe spirit soared above the rest to become the manifestation of freedom - the 'summum bonum' of human life.

Swami Vivekananda-Ways to Golden LIFE !!

1. Love Is The Law Of Life: All love is expansion, all selfishness is contraction. Love is therefore the only law of life. He who loves lives, he who is selfish is dying. Therefore, love for love's sake, because it is law of life, just as you breathe to live.

2. It's Your Outlook That Matters: It is our own mental attitude, which makes the world what it is for us. Our thoughts make things beautiful, our thoughts make things ugly. The whole world is in our own minds. Learn to see things in the proper light.

3. Life is Beautiful: First, believe in this world - that there is meaning behind everything. Everything in the world is good, is holy and beautiful. If you see something evil, think that you do not understand it in the right light. Throw the burden on yourselves!

4. It's The Way You Feel: Feel like Christ and you will be a Christ; feel like Buddha and you will be a Buddha. It is feeling that is the life, the strength, the vitality, without which no amount of intellectual activity can reach God.

5. Set Yourself Free: The moment I have realised God sitting in the temple of every human body, the moment I stand in reverence before every human being and see God in him - that moment I am free from bondage, everything that binds vanishes, and I am free.

6. Don't Play The Blame Game: Condemn none: if you can stretch out a helping hand, do so. If you cannot, fold your hands, bless your brothers, and let them go their own way.

7. Help Others: If money helps a man to do good to others, it is of some value; but if not, it is simply a mass of evil, and the sooner it is got rid of, the better.

8. Uphold Your Ideals: Our duty is to encourage every one in his struggle to live up to his own highest idea, and strive at the same time to make the ideal as near as possible to the Truth.

9. Listen To Your Soul: You have to grow from the inside out. None can teach you, none can make you spiritual. There is no other teacher but your own soul.

10. Be Yourself: The greatest religion is to be true to your own nature. Have faith in yourselves! 

11. Nothing Is Impossible: Never think there is anything impossible for the soul. It is the greatest heresy to think so. If there is sin, this is the only sin - to say that you are weak, or others are weak.

12. You Have The Power: All the powers in the universe are already ours. It is we who have put our hands before our eyes and cry that it is dark.

13. Learn Everyday: The goal of mankind is knowledge... now this knowledge is inherent in man. No knowledge comes from outside: it is all inside. What we say a man 'knows', should, in strict psychological language, be what he 'discovers' or 'unveils'; what man 'learns' is really what he discovers by taking the cover off his own soul, which is a mine of infinite knowledge.

14. Be Truthful: Everything can be sacrificed for truth, but truth cannot be sacrificed for anything.

15. Think Different: All differences in this world are of degree, and not of kind, because oneness is the secret of everything.
