Vande Mataram- I bow to Thee, Mother.... There is something about this National Song when it plays in any country. We connect to the moment very emotionally.
Everytime I stood on the stage in America to receive an honour and India's National Anthem (Jan Gan Man) was played, I felt that my heart melted.
So today, on the eve of Indian Republic Day (Jan 26th) I ask myself a very important Question: What is home? The country where I live or the country that lives in my heart. I salute and continue to bow to Thee, the country that will always make me complete and live in my heart. India

Vikas,
ReplyDeleteThis day happens to be my birthday too. So, I have always have two reasons to celebrate 26 Jan. I too get very emotional as I hear and sing "Jan Man Gan". I miss India so so much.
