Eid Mubarak

Today is also India's first Prime Minister, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru's 115th birth anniversary. Some of you know how much I admire this great freedom fighter and later statesman par excellence. I have often remarked that if given the chance to choose a time in history to re-live my life, there is no doubt I would've chosen the period in which heroes like Gandhi, Nehru, Jinnah, Patel, Rajaji, Tagore, Gokhale, Periyar and Radhakrishnan held sway the masses of the motherland...

May his soul rest in peace...
