23rd march 1931...
             The day when one of the greatest freedom fight led his life for the country. That revolutionary was born in one of the village of Punjab to whom we all know as Bhagat Singh.
                         Bhagat Singh was known for his appreciation of martyrdom. His mentor as a young boy was Kartar Singh Sarabha. Singh is himself considered a martyr for acting to avenge the death of Lala Lajpat Rai, also considered a martyr. In the leaflet he threw in the Central Assembly on 9 April 1929, he stated that It is easy to kill individuals but you cannot kill the ideas. Great empires crumbled while the ideas survived.After engaging in studies on the Russian Revolution, he wanted to die so that his death would inspire the youth of India which in turn will unite them to fight the British Empire.
While in prison, Bhagat Singh and two others had written a letter to the Viceroy asking him to treat them as prisoners of war and hence to execute them by firing squad and not by hanging. Prannath Mehta, Bhagat Singh's friend, visited him in the jail on March 20, four days before his execution, with a draft letter for clemency, but he declined to sign it.
On October 28, 2005, a book entitled Some Hidden Facts: Martyrdom of Shaheed Bhagat Singh—Secrets unfurled by an Intelligence Bureau Agent of British-India by K.S. Kooner and G.S. Sindhra was released. The book asserts that Singh, Rajguru, and Sukhdev were deliberately hanged in such a manner as to leave all three in a semi-conscious state, so that all three could later be taken outside the prison and shot dead by the Saunders family. The book says that this was a prison operation codenamed "Operation Trojan Horse."

"The aim of life is no more to control the mind, but to develop it harmoniously; not to achieve salvation here after, but to make the best use of it here below; and not to realise truth, beauty and good only in contemplation, but also in the actual experience of daily life; social progress depends not upon the ennoblement of the few but on the enrichment of democracy; universal brotherhood can be achieved only when there is an equality of opportunity - of opportunity in the social, political and individual life." — from Bhagat Singh's prison diary

So we as youth of India should come forward and follow this legend... a true man who led his life for his country,his people,his principles.

A Grand Grand Salute to the revolutionary...!

Vaise today we had our exam as well. Went ok. After our first exam was over we all were thinking whether we should think of preparing for the second exam or just pass time. Any how we managed to study gave the second exam as well. Now it was time to move back home. It was me,shashank and jaswant who were left, rest all our mates were gone back to their respective places. We moved out and were waiting for the bus to arrive. One,two,three... and so on. Then we decided to take lift else will stay in the college only. The process started and the vehicles just passed by giving no response to us as if we had asked for their kidney's. But after    
the hard work of around 30-40 min.  a car stopped . The guy was coming from Jalandhar and was going to Ludhiana. So we all three sat in and reached Ludhiana. Then Shashank left me to the Hotel and I reached back home at around 8:00 PM.

With Regards...!
