You all recite the pledge `India is my country. I love my country.’ Have you ever thought what you mean by it?
Just like my mother, who brought me into this word, the country in which I am born is my mother. Just like my mother who gives me all that I need, India has given all that I require. This is what is expressed in the song `Vande Mataram’.
`India is my country. I love my country’. In a Sanskrit text it is said mother and motherland are greater than heaven! We live in this great land. Every one should love India. We should develop interest to know more and more about our country.

Why did they lay down their lives to save Kargil?

Everyone commits mistakes. No one is perfect. One day or other everyone commits mistakes. It may be big or small. It may be done deliberately or unknowingly. But whatever the reason for the mistake, whatever the circumstances, a mistake is a mistake. So, we say `to err is human’.
Sometimes we do not know that it is a mistake. We think that what we have done is right. Very late we release that it is in fact a mistake. Once it is realized, what should we do? We have to admit our mistake. We have to apologize for it. We must express our sincere regrets for committing the mistake. We have to feel sorry for it. But it is unfortunate that most of the people who commit mistakes do not admit them. They try to justify their actions or they try to put the blame on others. Such people do not have an opportunity to overcome their mistakes, or correct themselves. Unless they learn to confess or admit their mistakes or faults, they cannot correct themselves.
Therefore, we must be prepared to own up our faults or mistakes. We have to take the responsibility for our mistakes. Such open admission shows that we will try not to repeat the mistake. That way, we can improve ourselves and become free from faults.
In this context, we have to remember the life story of Mahatma Gandhi. His life story shows how he could become a Mahatma from an average boy. In this boyhood days, he too had committed mistakes. But his greatness lies in admitting his faults. Not only that. He had taken every care to see that he never repeated them in his life. It was this moral courage that made him a Mahatma. Such was his unique character.
One day Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi stole a little money from his father’s pocket. He trembled to pick his father’s pocket. But he realized it was a great crime. This realization did not allow him to rest in peace. He became restless. His conscience pricked him. It was too much to bear. So, he decided that he should never steal anything from anybody under any circumstances. He did not stop at that. He wrote a letter of confession admitting his mistake and swore that he would never resort to stealing. But he was not bold enough to give the letter to his father. So, he put it in his pocket secretly. The father was so much moved by the confession that he instantly forgave self-correction, Gandhi became Mahatma Gandhi.
So, let us learn to admit the mistakes done by us knowingly or unknowingly, and also to try not to commit the same mistake in our life time.

Being married is not easy. Many couples face difficult challenges along the way. Most of the problems are minor road blocks, in which couples are able to resolve. However, some times the problems become so bad that a couple may decide to temporarily separate. This separation allows each person a chance to cool off and avoid an immediate divorce. Even, though a couple may separate that does not mean that all of the problems will go away. You may be wondering how to save my marriage after separation and that is always a question couples struggle with.
The first step in making your marriage work after a separation is to show your spouse respect. If there is no trust in your relationship then the marriage will not work. Be sure to speak to your spouse in a calm voice and show dignity at all times. This will let your spouse know you care about their feelings and respect what they have to say. You also need to avoid name calling as that can tear your marriage apart quickly. Be sure to always resolve any fights or arguments that you get in to. Holding a grudge is the worst way to deal with your anger. Be open with your spouse and be respectful to their side of the story. Also, do not be afraid to admit when you were wrong and try to correct your mistakes.
Another important step to save your marriage after separation is to communicate with your spouse. Be sure to express your thoughts and feelings and listen when your spouse expresses theirs. Not all of your conversations need to be serious. Engage in regular conversation as much as possible and this will make talking about more difficult subjects more comfortable. Another way to save your marriage after separation is to stay faithful during that time. Do not take part in any physical or emotional actions with another partner.
Making a marriage work means having the ability to compromise. Learning how to save my marriage after separation is not easy. You must understand that in order to make a marriage work you can not always have things your way. You must learn how to respect what your spouse enjoys doing and be flexible in your every day activities. If you can not manage to rebuild your marriage after separation alone be sure to seek out professional counseling. Going to counseling is a great way to work on saving your marriage. Having a counselor is like having a mediator help you work out your problems. They help each member of the marriage understand their shortcomings and offer practical solutions to solve them.
How to save my marriage after separation is a good question. Using the information above you are well on your way to answering that question. Just be sure that you analyze each problem from both sides. In order to truly save your marriage both you and your spouse must be committed.
