What I learned from the radio this week

It's like, you know, Independence week and all that, on account of Independence day coming up this Sunday. So I learnt all the famous slogans associated with our Independence, like Jai Hind, Vande Mataram, Inquilab Zindabad, Sare Jahan Se Accha and Jai Jawan Jai Kissan. I thought the music for Vande Mataram was particularly good.

I learnt about famous leaders who gave India Independence, like Nehru, Gandhi and Bankim Chandra Chatterjee. I also learnt today that the guy who coined the slogan Jai Jawan Jai Kissan, Lal Bahadur Shastri, gave up all his land to the farmers of India. Lal Bahadur Shastri is also famous for saying "Swaraj is my birthright and I shall have it!".

It's so nice to learn all this in one week. Thank you, Sunaina Lal of Radio City.

  20. cool! You're one of the rare breed on lj who've played HW2. Although I thought HW2's story was, well, iffy at best,(compared of course to the first one and Cataclysm) the strategy and gameplay in it was top-notch.
