I see people sharing some pictures in the web, where the photos of Subhas Chandra Bose and Jawahar Lal Nehru are shown side by side. In the picture, Bose is wearing a military uniform, whereas Nehru is seen smoking a cigarette and the caption is 'who is the real patriot'. I wonder whether these morons are aware of the fact that Netaji started consuming alcohol when he was in exile in Europe. Let us look into the big deeds of such good people and learn from them, rather than trying to tarnish their good names, by meaninglessly gossiping about their personal habits, personal relationships, so-called illicit affairs and so on. Because, what we learn from a person defines what OUR priorities are, not what they really are!
A simple effort to share the flow of thoughts and stream of emotions that well up in my mind
