A well spent day..

The Ridge, Shimla

"As a well-spent day brings happy sleep, so a life well spent brings happy death."

"We identify the flag with almost everything we hold dear on earth, peace, security, liberty,our home... but when we look at our flag and behold emblazoned with all our rights we must remember that it is equally a symbol of our duties."
