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???
