True friends are hard to find,
They bring warmth and happiness like the sunshine.
They'll lend a hand to help a friend,
They'll stay close to you to the very end.
In times of happiness, they rejoice,
So you feel like singing at the top of your voice.
In times of sorrow, they'll be there,
To bring you joy or say a silent prayer...

Republic Day reminds me of my Country!!!
Our freedom fighters dreamt of a great nation. They sacrificed their lives to free our country and to build a nation with a distinct identity of its own. Samuel Johnson has rightly said," the patriot's blood is the seed of freedom's tree." But today, who cares for one's country? We have becime so self centerd that we do not even get the time to share the joys and sorrows of each other... It is only the Independence Day or Republic Day when wwe show our patriotism by hoisting our national flag and singing the national anthem. Patriotism has become a mere national self assertion, 'a sentimentality of flat-cheering with no constructive duties'. Do we really understand the meaning of patriotism? The spirit of patriotism inspires us to do something for the progress of our country and to show love by doing something that brings fame fot our country and contributes in its progress. Lord Byron says- "He who loves not his country , can love nothing".
