"Hurray!!!We submitted the first assignment in IIITB!" yelled one of my friends with joy.
Yes! it was definitely an achievement in itself for us. It was not any where close to what our country had achieved 60 years ago but it definitely was. And that became a stepping stone for all the achievements that would come our way later in our lives...

One more year of Independence and one more moment of achievement. This Independence Day is definetely one of the most memorable days ever in the history of our country. The reason - we have with us the person who brought us a Gold Medal in a Singles Event in Indian Olympics history for the first time. Well this was of course one of the many other achievements made by our country in the past one year.
The yester year witnessed some of the grand achievements and also some gruesome incidents. With the Ambanis and the Mittals making their way into the list of richest people in the World, India is now the place for Billionaires and the World is looking for more...Yes, the 'more' here includes IT, Nuclear Power, Education, Economy and many other key areas and arenas used to judge the progress of the nation. Last year saw the rise of the Rupee and fall of the boom of IT - a major setback for the Indian IT companies, resulting in the lay-off of the employees. Nevertheless, a considerable amount of growth was witnessed in many industry segments.
If that was what the past had for us, what does the future hold for us? A new ray of hope, a vision for growth, a potential for development. Yes! the future promises to be better than ever - only if we tap all the aforementioned ingredients for success. We are more powerful than ever, poised for a sustained growth. We encapsulate in us the enormous amount of energy required to turn the heads of the world and look up to us.
So our action plan? Get started on personal improvement first, which would initiate a chain reaction in million others which would eventually trigger the ultimate course of action for National development.
Our mantra - "Arise, awake and stop not until the goal is reached"
Jai Hind!!!
