Mother India by her Unsung Heroes (3)

Chapter 3.  Warriors of Today

More than 70 years later, the legacies of the Partition remain clear in the subcontinent: in its new political formations and in the memories of divided families, and the stories of its unhonoured heroes. The years past independence have not been easy for us, the British fled India in hast leaving behind them their theory of divide and conquer, and the effects of their mental torture over the past 200 long years. These repercussions were easily visible throughout India, multiple uprisings, revolts were shattering the vision of the newly formed one India. People were divided and misguided, the many different states wanted their own independence. Democracy came to us as our saviour. It found a way to resolve everyone’s issues in an orderly fashion. India is the most populous democracy in the world. The credit for this big title goes to the election commission of India and their resolution of conducting a fair election to everyone. Their commitment of making a pooling booth easily available and accessible to even the most remote voter is remarkable. Be it severe weather conditions, quarrelled lands, or places deep inside the jungle even for a single person, you’ll find a polling booth there, there grit pushes them to extents beyond expectations. The mantra ‘Every Vote Counts’ is so spirituous, that it drives them to push past the limits and get every single eligible citizen to come and cast their vote. Their dedication also motivates individuals to leave their laziness behind and vote for the betterment of the country. The more the people will vote the elected government will be to the liking of the many, keeping the citizens happy. This is a blessing in disguise, the election commission truly is an unsung hero in maintain the peace and tranquillity of this nation. 

Though many hardships and struggles India has emerged as one united national and is on the path to become the best country in more than one way. The youth nation, a developing country is a land that has sheltered all kinds of communities and has faced all kinds of enormities; and yet is steadfast and firm in its values of honouring each and every champion no matter how small their contribution. Even the sportsmen and artisans representing India on the international floor are equitable for the title of India’s unsung heroes. When these athletes come on the ground and showcase their talents, it is not just them who is playing on the field it is the hearts, prayers and cheers of millions of their fans and family members back home. They win any medal; the country wins a medal. All their hard work, sacrifices pay off when they wear the country jersey and step forth to take up the challenge of fulfilling the wishes of their many well-wishers. Our sports enthusiasts may not be physically present at the game venue but are surely present there mentally with their full concentration and devotion. Seeing them play and represent India is a feeling of great pleasure and satisfaction, synonymous to how any parent feels when their child has achieved something, and raised their name with pride. When our artists perform, the whole mood changes. The feeling of belongingness to a country with such a rich heritage is a sensation that tops all others. The wordings are theirs but the heart and soul they represent is of the whole country. These people, in my eyes are the true unsung heroes of mother India.

It goes without saying that not the athletes and artisans are the ones entitled for this honour, but scientists, designers, astrophysics, businessmen and every other citizen that plays their part in lifting up mother India’s name is an unsung hero. May it be a small victory or an Olympic medal each quest is chargeable for a prize.

Investing time is no easy task, and when you have invested a fair amount of time it is your right to take back something fruitful, continue the journey to uncover the beautiful life lessons hidden in history…

Return of the Jungle

  Animation, a filmmaking technique in which still images are manipulated to create moving images, is more than just this. It is a form of expression and a way to communicate emotions and stories. It is beyond this; it is an artistic marvel. I am awed by the many ways artists create such wonderful creations. Animation is still perceived as cartoonish and to be viewed by children; however, there is more depth to these movies. They are to be viewed, enjoyed and loved by people of all ages. It is not just about the cartoony way the character moves on screen; it is about capturing its expressions and the way it communicates its emotions, despite being a lifeless 3D model. It is to embrace the life instilled into the character by the hardworking artists who spend countless days and nights bringing their creations to the screen to be cherished. Animated movies, like all others, hold a lot of meaning and hidden values. I have always loved and admired animated movies, and I am moved by the...

The Magic of Theme Parks

Image
Theme parks have always been more than just a fun escape for me, they're a complete sensory experience. From the tingle of anticipation before a roller coaster launch to the rush of wind on my face, even the long queues become part of the adventure. As a thrill-seeker, amusement parks have long been my favorite destinations for excitement and joy. This summer, I had an outstanding time visiting Universal’s Islands of Adventure, the newly opened Epic Universe, and Disney’s Animal Kingdom in Florida. It was the highlight of my summer, and I came away with no regrets. As a game developer, I appreciate the distinction between amusement parks and theme parks, and I deeply connect with the creativity and immersive design behind these attractions. They reflect the very vision I strive to bring into my own work. If you want the adventure and electrifying sensation of rides, amusement parks are your thing, but, if you want to be transported into a different universe, you want to feel magica...

Who moved my Cheese?

C hange, the only constant in our equation of life. An inevitable force that will occur in our lives sooner or later and the faster we accept this truth the easier it becomes to get along with it. Nevertheless, it is not the change that changes our lives, i t is the way in which we cope with it that does. Tackling the consequences and shortcomings of that change with an open mind and embracing it with a smile is what earns us a new medal towards our goal of achieving a happy and fruitful life.  We are surrounded with an enormous amount of knowledge on how we should live our lives, what should we do to stay happy, how should we face challenges and deal with their outcomes, etc, and yet we still seem to curl ourselves up in our memories and in the process, we forget to make amendments in our present so that our future self will have something new, something adventurous to synonymise ourselves with. We have to let go of our past and move on, that is the only way forward. Books are one...
