bose...

When Shakespeare said, what is there in a name, I nodded in agreement. But, are some names more, what should I say, nameworthy than others? Bose, a market leader in electronics in the 21st century. One notch down; Bose the forgotten hero of India's freedom struggle. Today, I caught up with the idiot box after a long time. Surfing channels, came across one which featured 'Bose the forgotten hero'. Just wanted to share a part of the cinematic experience.

Scene - Bose on Submarine deck.
-----------------------------------------

Bose [to captain]:- How old are you?
Captain: 21 (Disclaimer:- I might have heard this part wrong..as the volume was low)
Bose:- At your age I was in a prison in Mandalay. I could see the moon from my cell (And he points to the moon in the sky).

Today, I enjoy the freedom which someone bought at a very hefty price. Today, 15th Aug is just another holiday. No advocacies about violent or non-violent struggle. I would love to live on to see India as the INDIA of OUR dreams.

What am I doing for my country???

If you came this far, it is probably because you found out how lousy I am when it comes to punctuation. If the URL of this blog(and of course the current post's title) made you wonder you have heard this before, you are correct. Napoleon said this. I merely got inspired and did what I do best - copy.
