Thanks to everyone who participated in our Indian Pride poll either online or through our discussions on-air on Sunday. We had a wonderful time listening to your views and voicing our own. In addition, to much of the discussion on the web, we had a few new points like food, values, tradition, crafts, arts and role of women rise up during our on-air segment.

We hope you took a minute to think about our country and feel proud. And now for the coming week’s discussion, Icons of Modern India poll is open. Please vote and share your views. As always, your views can win prizes from Tamil Mirchi.

Independence and you August 13, 2008

I live miles and seas away from my motherland and crib about not having a holiday on India’s Independence day and Republic Day. I dream about a long weekend, lazing around. Is that my patriotic spirit? Is that the way I see my nation’s hard-earned independence? I am ashamed of myself.

What are your plans for India’s Independence day? Where ever you live, whatever you do, share you views! Your views can win a prize from Tamil Mirchi!

Together let us celebrate our independence in a way it deserves to be!

Jai Hind!

I admit, I never heard of the name Abhinav Bindra  before today. Today, I google about him, read everything I can about him, see his pictures and feel a sense of pride.

How many of you knew him/heard of his name before today?

If you want to hear about him and the Olympics in his own words, head to his blog here http://abhinavbindra.blogspot.com/

He is yet to blog about his triumph!

And a bit of trivia for those interested, Abhinav came 7th in the Athens Olympics 4 years back!
