This is by one of India's greatest sons, Dr. A.P.J.Abdul Kalam, come friends let us join the movement in our little ways. We can begin by accepting his clarion call ... if we still remain indifferent, history and our children will not treat us kindly. Do not fear failure, it is better to have tried and failed, than not to have tried only.

Onward ahoy! Aao hidusthani, hum kadam, kadam badhaye!!
