| A B'day cake(Click Recipe) made by me in honor of Gandhi Ji on his birthday |
First & the foremost , big heartfelt salute to our Gandhi ji as always.
Bapu ji certainly doesn't need any introduction for he is a well known legend and inspiration to everyone around the world. A man (though he was a lawyer) clad in sheer Khadi made dhoti-shawl (a type of traditional cloth worn by the Hindu men), a laatti (walking stick) in his hand, a simple round glasse on his eyes with a huge heart and enormous will power re wrote the fate of my motherland, India for the best. A true son of our nation who fought with all his might with only one weapon he owned, preached & practiced , that is ,"Non violence". A man who believed in ,"Simple living , high thinking" and not only preaching but also practicing , the man who took the first step to aspire and inspire the whole nation to discard all social evils and unite irrespectively to achieve the freedom of India. A man who sacrificed everything just for the sake of our nation. I can't stop wondering what would have happened if he wouldn't have taken the initiative and or preached and applied non-violent act for a free India.
Wish we had more Gandhiji's now and always to lead us, guide us onto the right path , to honor our all freedom fighters that their sacrifice didn't go in vain .
Heartfelt thanks to the mother , Putlibai Gandhi who gave birth to an ordinary yet extraordinary son, Gandhi ji who made us all proud Indians forever. He was indeed a divine "Mahatma" (Noble soul).
Hats off and a big salute to our father of the nation(India), Gandhi ji!!..Happy birthday Bapu :) . Immensely proud of you and proud to be an Indian.. Jai Hind...Jai Bharat ..Jai hoooooooo...
Few of my favorite quotes of Bapu (though every word he uttered are evergreen pearls of wisdom) :
- Always aim at complete harmony of thought , word and deed. Always aim at purifying your thoughts and everything will be well.
- It is unwise to be too sure of one's own wisdom. It is healthy to be reminded that the strongest might weaken and the wisest might err.
- The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.
- Whatever you do will be insignificant, but it is very important that you do it.No one else will.
- Be the change you wish to see in the world.
- “When every hope is gone, 'when helpers fail and comforts flee,' I find that help arrives somehow, from I know not where. Supplication, worship, prayer is no superstition; they are acts more real than the acts of eating, drinking, sitting or walking. It is no exaggeration to say that they alone are real, all else is unreal.”
- “There would be nothing to frighten you if you refused to be afraid.”
- And my most fave one and I am sure every proud woman's will too ;D ,"“To call woman the weaker sex is a libel; it is man's injustice to woman. If by strength is meant brute strength, then, indeed, is woman less brute than man. If by strength is meant moral power, then woman is immeasurably man's superior. Has she not greater intuition, is she not more self-sacrificing, has she not greater powers of endurance, has she not greater courage? Without her, man could not be. If nonviolence is the law of our being, the future is with woman. Who can make a more effective appeal to the heart than woman?”
(NOTE: By the way I took a Printout of Gandhi ji and used as a stencil on my cake and drew a little by myself , the recipe I'll be posting next week only as the post is already so long and nothing can replace patriotism, this post is exclusively dedicated to our Bapu..excuse me if the Gandhi ji's stencil on my cake did not come out perfect ..Bear with me ..as always :)..Thanks )
Happy Gandhi Jayanti !!
