This Independence day

Tryst with Destiny

" At the stroke of the midnight hour, when the world sleeps, India will awake to life and freedom. A moment comes, which comes but rarely in history, when we step out from the old to the new, when an age ends, and when the soul of a nation, long suppressed, finds utterance..... We end today a period of ill fortune, and India discovers herself again. "

Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru 's first speech on the eve of first independence of India.

Though its been old, it's value to be reconsidered with India's present days .
