I was peddling hard like every other day at gym around 6.45am trying to sweat out. Its my habit to watch news and get a glimpse of the happenings. As some of you might know(read my blogs), gym was my musing place to spark new topics to be pondered upon.
Today, it was an interesting one. While I was watching the Local new channel. There was a flash news running underneath and I happen to catch the part of it. "Gandhi who lead the non-violence movement to fight againt Britain was killed..." I was like, what in the world they are flashing this news now. I really couldn't get hold of the full flash news. From that time on, I was trying to put the pieces together to find the relavance of that news while working out. Finally I got the answer while was ending my work out in a silence mood. Its JAN 30. Yes, its Jan 30th. Whats the important? Its Gandhiji's rememberance day.
I know many of you are like me. We just run with the flow and even forget best friends birthdays. Why go that far? Even forget our own spouses birthdays. No wonder we forget about Jan 30. Life just gets its toll. I am with you folks. I am glad I saw the news and atleast thought about Gandhi for a bit and remembered him. Most surprising is that the news flashing in the local channel. I didn't see anything about it in CNN or Fox (big news channel). If it is not for the channel to flash it, I wouldn't have just not know about it.
Take away, its really encouraging to notice that Gandhiji fame has come a long way to be part of an American's life to remember his death. On the other hand, a Indian(many like me) forgettting Jan 30 and to be reminded. Is it a shame or just take thats the way life when you are immersed into own world.. I don't know..
-PEACE-
