Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose's 114th birthday celebrated as Desh Prem Diwas.

Subhash Chandra Bose was born on January 23, 1897 in Cuttack, Orissa. His father Janaki Nath Bose was a famous lawyer and his mother Prabhavati Devi was a pious and religious lady. Subhash Chandra Bose was the ninth child among fourteen siblings.

Today is Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose's 114th birthday. From 2011 onward, 23rd January is being celebrated as Desh Prem Diwas across West Bengal.

Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose is one of the greatest patriots who fought for the Indian freedom. Bose believed that Mahatma Gandhi's tactics of non-violence would never be sufficient to secure India's independence, and advocated violent resistance. In contrary to Mahatma Gandhi's non-violent struggle, Netaji felt the need for armed struggle to actually evict the British from India.

Bose was elected as the President of the Indian National Congress for two consecutive terms, but had to leave the party due to ideological and methodological differences with the Gandhi faction and established the All India Forward Bloc. The British government first put him in jail and then under house arrest, but the Bengal brave heart managed to give the police a slip and escaped imprisonment.

Netaji ,left India and joined hands with the Allied forces of Italy, Germany and Japan during the 2nd world war to fight the British in India. After meetings with Hitler, Mussolini and Tojo, Netaji freed the Indian prisoners of war and aligned them together to set up the Indian National Army or Azad Hind Fauj on October 21, 1943. Subhash Chandra Bose led the INA, backed up by the Japanese army, into the Indian territory via Manipur.

Today is the 114^th birth anniversary of the brave soldier who was courageous enough to create his own army to challenge the British. All we can do is remember and honor the leader this day. West Bengal is all set to honor the hero for his contribution towards our independence struggle by a ceremonial march past today followed by a seminar on Netaji in Sisir Mancha to be graced by eminent speakers like Biman Bose the chairperson of Left front and a few others.

It is late but quite a commendable move by the West Bengal government to dedicate the birthday of Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose as the “Desh Prem Divas”. The government of West Bengal has also requested the Central government to declare the day as National Patriotism Day (Desh Prem Diwas) to salute the contribution of the Bengal son in India's struggle for independence.

Friday the 13th- lucky or unlucky?

Today is Friday the 13th — a day when many people refuse to travel, invest in the stock market or gamble.

There are documented cases of paraskevidekatriaphobics, people who have an actual phobia of Friday the 13th.

It's an old idea carried over from Europe. It's only superstitious if you believe it. Friday the 13^th is a myth. It is supposed to be bad only for the westerners and does not apply to Indians, especially for Hindus, this time of year- the end of ashada and the beginning of shravana - is apparently very auspicious.

It’s basically an ordinary day but some people believe it is a day of bad luck.It has nothing to do with the day but whether or not they believe something might happen — if you think it’s a lucky day, and you’re positive it’s likely to turn out positively, whereas a negative outlook may result in a negative day.

Don’t be frightened by a day or let people put crazy notions that something negative is going to happen to you.Unfortunately however when we focus on the challenges of anything including the generalization of ‘bad luck,’ we can easily forget to appreciate the positive. “Fear is often the underlying emotion that interferes with one’s ability to enjoy life.”

For those who struggle with fears such as bad luck on Friday the 13th, they should try to reflect on the source of their fear.
