"Vande Mataram"
this musical words
cuts chords of the string
covering the soft walled hearts
to let out that feeling
"to be Free..."
This land of Bharatam
stands now on its own feet
having its own breathe of
" Freed air "
Unforgettable legend
reminds each one of us
still alive on this mud
the days of shed bloods
countless number of tears
and unanswered prayers
Stand now to
the words of our leaders
spread the light and
have the will
to celebrate this day
answering those
shed bloods and tears
to live each passing day
in UNITY and LOVE
"Vande Mataram"

| NATIONAL FLAG |
Indian flag comprises of three colors saffron,white and green in equal proportions.On the middle is the wheel in navy blue color comprising of 24 spokes and this Emblem design is adapted from the Lion Capital of Ashoka at Sarnath on January 26, 1950.The ratio of the width of the flag to its length is 2:3 and the diameter of the chakra approximates to three-fourth of the width of the white band of the flag.Indian flag is also called as Trianga.
I could remember my school days, when our principal hosts the flag and we the students, singing the National Anthem song in chorus.She used to pull the flag high and slow and when spread ,showers the rose petals upon her head and the students nearby .It was such a unique look seeing the hosted flag flying pridely to the waves of the brushing breeze.
