Every year on October 2nd, I am take back to my comfort zone of being a child of India. It is a very personal thing but those of you who grew up with a constant reminder of Gandhi-ji as the Father of the Indian Nation, will know what I am talking about.

Gandhi-ji symbolizes more than peace, non violence or an Independent India. Gandhi-ji symbolizes hope, sustainability and economic progress.

Happy Gandhi-ji’s birthday to you all
