Get Together on Shaheed Divas.

The spine gets chilled when you hear about them. The bones shiver at the very thought of their motivation and commitment. The eyes try hiding themselves. Remembering them is a clean up. It shows you what you are. It clears the doubts and pumps in a fresh supply of adrenaline. But it must go beyond one evening. It must go on.

A week before this event we decided that each one of us will choose one hero whom we really think to be true Indian patriot, try and know more about them and finally will share our findings with each other on this day. For first 5 days I didn’t get time to search n know more about any hero. On the 6th day I somehow managed to go to net center for half an hour. I madly started going though all freedom fighters' history and then came across Khudiram Bose. "A 19 year old boy sacrificed his life for this land" I was really amazed. I mean he was just of the age of my younger sister who is still so pampered and at such a tender age a boy did such great act which we can’t even think now. I tried reading about him but because i had to rush for some important work I couldn’t read. I took printout of around 10-12 pages. Sadly I couldn’t find time to read that also. On the day of this event while going to Bangalore University (18 kms from ramaiah) I started reading it on bus. I found it so interesting that while coming back in the afternoon I read it again. And finally I could share my little findings with my friends. I was really excited about telling the story to other volunteers but more than that I was excited about the fact that now, even though to a very little extent, I know Khudiram Bose.
