Independence Day 2010

Volunteers of Sankalp Indian Foundation celebrated the 63rd independence Day. The program started with the singing of the National Anthem. What followed was a rich discussion in which volunteers shared the ways in which they celebrated the festival of independence when they were young. Then we had a discussion on the relevance of patriotism and the role that individuals like us can play to be truly deserving the independence that we have got. 

Disaster Preparedness is an absolutely important part of Sankalp volunteer's life.

Aamir Khan was giving well thought answers- that made sense. There was a clear distinction between the intellectual levels of Aamir Khan and this journalist, who was making a mockery out of himself. I asked myself- “Is this the state of Indian media today, or am I a part of the minority that hates such things on television?
