Wishes to everyone reading this blog, on this occasion.
A question that has been coming to my mind is, should it be a holiday? That is, should it be a non working day?
The same is true about any event or any religious festival etc. Does that mean that the celebrations that need to be done require the day to be a non working day?
Why cant we celebrate but still continue working?
I wonder if Mahatma Gandhi would have been happy if he saw that today , to celebrate his birthday, the whole nation is sitting idle.
In a nation dreaming to be developed, I wonder if it is worth letting one day go off like this...
Well, as a coincidence this year, I guess many people are glued to TV sets watching India Australia cricket match. I wonder about this celebration.
Happy Birthday Gandhiji.... I can be 200% sure that a great human being like you who tirelessly, constantly working hard to give us the freedom, will not be delighted to see your nation folks have called it a day off and the excuse they give is celebrating your birthday....
But you will be happy to see some section though who are taking this opportunity to fight for justice, holding candle light vigils in solidarity with farmers. So there definitely is a section working tirelessly following your footsteps.

I agree that the Jayanthi's are being misused. I think soon you will see ads for 'Gandhi Jayanthi' sales for cars with 0% financing, if that hasn't started happening already. I would have nothing against those guys, they are fighting to make a living like most others.
Dear,Friend
In 1942, his ‘Quit India’ slogan was to serve as the final signal to
British dominion in India. The partition of India and Pakistan came
as a personal shock to Gandhi. When the nation was rejoicing
independence (1947), Gandhi went to Naokhali to ameliorate the
conditions of the communal riot victims.
