The day we all got freedom from the Britishers and the freedom we enjoy now.  But do we realise the hard-work and sacrifices made by our freedom fighters so that our country gets freedom which we enjoy daily?

It is a simple law but it gives us a lot of pleasure and satisfaction.  If you think that there is no one kind and helpful in this modern world, then you are wrong. Of course there are, but maybe in minority. And when you be kind, giving and helpful towards others, people get inspired from you and try to do the same good deeds.
