To celebrate 61st Indian Independence Day - 15th August, 2008 I'll start this blog post with the speech given by our First Prime Minister Late Pandit Jawahar Lal Nehru at midnight on August 14, 1947.

'Awake to freedom' "Long years ago we made a tryst with destiny, and now the time comes when we shall redeem our pledge, not wholly or in full measure, but very substantially.

At the stroke of midnight hour, when the world sleeps, India will awake to life and freedom. A moment comes which comes but rarely in history, when we step out from the old to the new, then an age ends, and when the soul of a nation, long suppressed, finds utterance. It is fitting that at this solemn moment we take the pledge of dedication to India and her people and to the still larger cause of humanity.

At the dawn of history India started on her unending quest, and trackless centuries are filled with her striving and the grandeur of her successes and her failures. Through good and ill fortune alike she has never lost sight of that quest or forgotten the ideals which gave her strength. We end today a period of ill fortune and India discovers herself again.

The achievement we celebrate today is but a step, an opening of opportunity, to the greater triumphs and achievements that await us. Are we brave enough and wise enough to grasp this opportunity and accept the challenge of the future?

I have been publishing 15th, August Independence Day posts every year started last year to celebrate Independence Day . However you will find my few blog post on Mailindia Blog, since mostly I find myself busy writing posts over SEO Industry related blog.

Being Indian and Proud to be Indian - I can't let myself down away by not writing about my country and that too on very special occassion of "15th August - Independence Day", I decided to write this blog post by today itself (Ooops - it's 2 am almost) - At the stroke of midnight hour, when the world sleeps, India(myself) will awake to life and freedom :-)

I think I don't need to share what importance 15th August brings to every Indian's life and we are able to live our life with freedom just beacuse of all the struggle and pain taken by our forfathere's, Freedom fighters to make their coming generation live freely.

But looking at todays political scenario where Indian's are looking divided on issues based on caste, religion, region and don't know what more......

I am not into politics nor I beleive on discriminating individuals based on caste or religion and above all I am Indian first and wish every person of this country try to understand this huge responsibility of Freedom.....

There are lot more things happening all these days which disturbs every Indian (I guess?) but it's better not to rage my anger on Independence Day and even I don't think it's a platform to raise voice agaist such issues.

I will close this post with our National Anthem:-

Jana Gana Mana Adhinayaka Jaya he
Bharata Bhagya Vidhata
Punjab Sindhu Gujarata Maratha
Dravida Utkala Banga

Vindhya Himachala Yamuna Ganga
Ucchala Jaladhi taranga
Tava Subha Naame Jaage
Tava Subha Asisha Maange
Gahe Tava Jaya Gatha

Jana Gana Mangal Dayaka Jaya he
Bharata Bhagya Vidhata
Jaya he Jaya he Jaya he
Jaya Jaya Jaya Jaya he

Have a happy Independence day, Jai Hind !! - "Mera Bharat Mahan"

If you have desire & will, Nothing can stop you. If you can dare to Dream and are committed to explore future challenges even an ordinary Man can achieve great heights and that's is something unique about this person. He is travelling on Bicycle with his wife and can you believe he is 65 Years of age.


Mr Bholadas the man with burning desire & dream to travel each and every village of India at the age of 65. Along with him, his life partner Mrs. Phoolbai giving him full support.

They started their journey for a noble cause of spreading peace among fellow Indians. His mission is to spread the universal message, Peace On Earth,Peace in India to empower, uplift and awaken the Indian consciousness of our human family.

India is always being peace loving country, but somehow due to political influence, aggressivenes of fundamentalist our country is losing it's ancient identity. With the thought of a Better India where every individual respects each other, having respect for every religion, irrespectiveof regional differences People proud to be Called themselves first as Indians inspite of being from Assam, Bengal, Tamil Nadu,Maharashtra, Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Punjab or Uttar Pradesh. Whatever our religion may be Hindu, Muslim, Christian, Jain, Parsi or Sikh
We all are at first INDIANS



Mr Bholadas & Mrs Phoolbai started with this mission on 24th December 2006, from there native village Parkaj, Distt. Shahdol (M.P)They decided to choose Bicycle as their mode of transport to travel India.

My First Meet with Mr Bholadas & Mrs PhoolBai.
You can say, it was my luck that I got the opportunity to meet them. I met with them on 3rd May 2008 near a Tea- stall, where nearbyI went for some work. Suddenly his bicycle as shown in the picture attracted me & compelled me to go to take a closer view. After that I came to know about Mr Bholadas & his mission.

I was surprised and very much impressed with his Noble Mission. I was so impressed that I planned to write about him on my Blog, after that we exchanged words, with patience I listen his thoughts & taken up some snaps.

I throwed him some question which were obvious to come into my mind like:-

How do you manage to have your Food?

What about if you felt sick?

How do you manage to have money on your journey? and many more...

He answered to all of my questions & shared with me one great thing that how much we may progress but at the core of our heartwe are Indians & We will be always.

Indians mean - people who love to support, who know how to live with peace, who are emotional yet stronger.



With Mr. Bholadas - the man on Mission!

I asked to him about his idea of travelling by bicycle, taking along with him his wife at this age & to which places he has travelled across his journey since last 1 year 6 months .

He told me that he started his journey from Allahbad and has visited Kashi, Ayodhya, Maihar, Chitrakoot, Agra, Mathura. Delhi, Kurukshetra, Ambala, Ludhiana, Vaishnodevi, Jhansi, Gwalior, Indore, BHOPAL and many more places.

I salute him & his desires to make Indians united always. I request to all you people to spread this message, probably you can also catch him next in your City.

Good Luck Mr Bholadas & Mrs PhoolBai.
