Republic feelings


We made it to the republic day celebration of our kids school . We found a place under the shade of a tree and watched the events.

The kids were all in sports uniforms and according to the colors of their houses.

Every ones speech was kept to the minimum but touching our heroes of the past and

enticing us all to become like them, in safe guarding our country, to make us land lords of our own land.

The chief guest was a local forest ranger and he wanted to remind us all that we do need to make our land cooler, with planting trees and making it greener.

The principal of the school took time to remind us, of a few courageous heroes of the past and intelligent ones who drew up our constitution, that we need to remember them and so this celebration.

Some children had made speeches about other heroes and poets who fanned the spirits of patriotism in us all .

It was a real pity not many parents were there, to see our kids show such feelings of “Our land”.

“Civics is the art of living together” I have heard this many times voiced at home, it is from this that the word civilian and civil has come. To achieve that we do need rules, regulations to guide and guard the citizens of the land.

To maintain that we need to have a constitution which is respected and rules made to suit our needs and not fooled around for the benefit of a few .Leaders come and go but the rules of the land stay for the benefit of its country and its rightful owners.( we are seeing other lands and its destruction happening)

May we respect the constitution and the ones who have worked hard to pave the way for its legal adaptation.

Happy Republic feelings of freedom.
