5 InTERestING things ABt 15th AUG!! OUR INDEPENDENCE DAY!!

1 )

We Share our Independence day with 3 other Countries.

• South Korea – Aug 15 from Japan in 1945
• Bahrain -  Aug 15 from UK in 1971
• Republic of the Congo – Aug 15 from France in 1960
  

2 )

Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru gave his famous speech titled “Tryst with Destiny” towards midnight on 14th August 1947 to the Indian Constituent Assembly. He was not technically the Prime Minister as it wasn’t yet 15th August. Nehru, the next day unfurled the Indian Tri-Color flag over the Council Hall and declared India Independent.

3 )

The reason Pakistan has its Independence day on Aug 14th is probably because of 2 things:-

• Due to a clash of Ceremonies to be held for Transfer of Power, one which was in Karachiand another in Delhi, August 14th was chosen to be Pakistan’s Independence day so thatMountbatten could attend both the ceremonies.
• Pakistan also adapted a new Standard Time after partition which was 30 min behind Indian Time. Hence, if India was Independent at 12 AM on Aug 15th 1947 , then Pakistan would be on 14th August at 11.30 PM.

4 )

The Indian Independence Act 1947 was a statute enacted by the British Parliament which partitioned  India and the created the Independent dominions of Pakistan and India. The Act received Royal British assent on July 18, 1947. Then the date of setting up of dominions(India/Pakistan) was fixed as 15th of August 1947 in this act. Hence 15th Of August became our Independence Day.

5 )

Midnight’s Children, Salman Rushdie’s book, is set after the Independence and Partition of India. The narrator and main character of the story is Saleem Sinai. Saleem is born at the exact moment that India becomes independent on Aug 15th 1947. Saleem Sinai’s life reflects the changing fortunes of the country after independence. The name Midnight’s Children is a reference to all people born at the stroke of Midnight on Aug 15th 1947. In fact Rushdie himself was born on June 19th 1947.
.
Mark Twain, the famous American Writer said this about India.“India is, the cradle of the human race, the birthplace of human speech, the mother of history, the grandmother of legend, and the great grand mother of tradition. Our most valuable and most instructive materials in the history of man are treasured up in India only.”
Does all this apply in 2010 ?. Everyday i see new riots, unstability and a loss of moral values. Pledge that we will change India and uphold what India stands for and fights for. Unity in Diversity. If India fails in this, the world will surely follow.
Wishing all of you a Wonderful Independence Day. JAI HIND.

A very good article which takes two minutes to read. I'm posting this for the persons I care about.......I hope you do too!!!

Heart Attacks And Drinking Warm Water 


This is a very good article. Not only about the warm water after your meal, but about Heart Attacks. The Chinese and Japanese drink hot tea with their meals, not cold water, maybe it is time we adopt theirdrinking habit while eating. 

For those who like to drink cold water, this article is applicable to you. It is nice to have a cup of cold drink after a meal. However, the cold water will solidify the oily stuff that you have just consumed. It will slow down the digestion. Once this 'sludge' reacts with the acid, it will break down and be absorbed by theintestine faster than the solid food. It will line the intestine. Very soon, this will turn into fats and lead tocancer. It is best to drink hot soup or warm water after a meal. 

Common Symptoms Of Heart Attack... 
A serious note about heart attacks - You should know that not every heart attack symptom is going to be the left arm hurting . Be aware of intense pain in the jaw line. 

You may never have the first chest pain during the course of a heart attack. Nausea and intense sweatingare also common symptoms. 60% of people who have a heart attack while they are asleep do not wake up. Pain in the jaw can wake you from a sound sleep. Let's be careful and be aware. The more we know, the better chance we could survive. 

A cardiologist says if everyone who reads this message sends it to 10 people, you can be sure that we'll save at least one life. Read this & Send to a friend. It could save a life... So, please be a true friend and send this article to all your friends you care about.
