Thoughts on friendship Day

In recent times, it has become common trend in India to celebrate days dedicated to various relationships and persons like Valentine’s Day for Love, Mother’s day for mother, Fathers Day for Father and Friendship Day for Friends. Though, there is no harm in celebrating these days, however, one question also rises here that why we need to celebrate these days.

Does our love for our parents, friends and lovers depend on single day of year? In India, we mostly like to live in joint families where whole family live together and mostly, our friend circle also remains same and nearby us. We celebrate number of festivals and occasions with them. We often remember them and they mostly remember us.

Therefore, in India our dependence on particular days is very less. While in developed countries like US, people live a more individualistic life with very less interference from others. Therefore, they feel the need for these days to remember these people and relationships. History of Friendship day in US is as old as 1935 and it is celebrated on first Sunday of every August, however, friendship is celebrated in India from thousands of Years e.g. famous friendship between Lord Krishna and Sudama.

Slowly, people in India have also started accepting these Days because we are also becoming copies of our brothers and sisters in US. Thanks to fast and busy life, people in India are also becoming more concerned only about themselves. Therefore, now Indians also require help of these days for remembering those forgotten relationships and people.

It is not wrong to remember a friend or parents on particular day, however, why we cannot remember them every day or more often. I am not against people of developed nations; however, I am only against decreasing respect for Indian values and dependence on foreign culture.

Nuclear test by North Korea-A time to wake up

North Korea has done nuclear test show the doubt on the Nuclear proliferation treaty (NPT) and show its failure. Few years back the nuclear tests were done by both India and Pakistan. After North Korea, we could think Iran going on the same way. All these tests may be attributed to the discrepancies and one sided ness of NPT. As the concerns rose by India few years back that the nuclear nations should also defuse their nuclear weapons in the faced manner. However countries like America and Russia refused this proposal and these countries even continued their more advanced nuclear programs. Now how these countries could expect other nations to adhere with rules when these countries are not following it. We can not create different rules for different nations. Power nations can not have rules which favor them but are hard on others. To maintain a world harmony, we are req
