How has India's independence in 1947 made a difference in your life? Even if you weren't alive then, how would your life be different today without the independence?
How did India's independence affect or change your life today?
I learned the significance of democracy, including its vices. Unscrupulous people cannot make use of democracy properly. It may lead to plutocracy when the political parties amass wealth. Now I feel that despite the colonial hegemony, the British were enlightened and they encouraged all the cultural aspects. Now we are more parochial in the name of religion, caste and narrow political interests. A politician who starts with no money becomes a millionaire within no time. Even leftists have become multimillionaires in India. I never imagined that freedom has such a dangerous consequence. Nepotism, bribery, attacking the opponent etc. have become quite common. Might has become right and muscle power has a role in our elections. Despite all these things, we can say that we elect our representatives for a just rule.

How has India's independence affected or changed your life today?
IF INDIA WASN'T INDEPENDENT TODAY, PEOPLE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO VOTE THEIR POLITICIANS AND LEADERS. THEY WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN GIVEN THE RIGHT TO SPEAK AND EXPRESS THEIR EMOTIONS FREELY. INDIA WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN TO ABLE TO HAVE IT'S OWN CONSTITUTION AND RULES.
How has India's independence affected or changed your life today?
The Independence has given birth to our democracy in which we are able to choose the fools and criminals whom we want to be our leaders and whom we want to rule us.

Have you ever read a book that you consider changed your life?
Not the bible please but if you have ever read a book that changed your life, what was it and why? Thanks
Have you ever read a book that you consider changed your life?
I was fourteen when I read Sarah Dessen's Keeping The Moon. I know that it's not this famous book, one that is read by millions of readers, but when I read it everything changed for me. I could relate to Colie and that was what had me so attached to the book in the first place, she was exactly like me. But that's the book that changed my life. It gave me this new life perspective. I started writing after I read this book and I don't think that I would ever have changed that, because writing agrees with me. I've found something that I'm good at and I was never really good at anything, so I think that's why that's my favorite book and the one that is going to stand out for a long time.
Have you ever read a book that you consider changed your life?
%26quot;The kite runner%26quot;, because as I read it I notice how completely wonderful the book is about making you realize that you should fix whatever you've done wrong as the quote %26quot;There is a way to be good again%26quot; appears in chapter one. Since then, I have never judged or betrayed a person.
Pride and Prejudice. It's lead the way for my thinking, introduced a whole world of literature I'd never experienced before, and is the center of my hobby.
Kira-Kira is one of them, because it really opened my eyes and told me to spend time with my family, because they won't be around forever; to let them know that you love them when it matters the most.
%26quot;The Snows of Kilimanjaro%26quot; by Earnest Hemingway. After I read that story I became a writer.networking gives out fashion advice

Who is one person in your life that has pretty much changed your whole life? How did they do so?
Whenever you think of people that really helped mold who you are as a person who do you think of? How did they mold your character and effect your life? Did you ever get the chance to tell them that they changed you?
Who is one person in your life that has pretty much changed your whole life? How did they do so?
The one person who has changed my life is.. my son.. i was 17 yrs old when i got pregnant.. not a care in the world.. i was a high school drop out and i didnt care about anyone.. when i found out i was pregnant.. i got off my but went back to school and got a job! my son taught me that the world doesnt revolve around me.. and that i can really love someone more than words can even explain... He changed me and for the best!
Who is one person in your life that has pretty much changed your whole life? How did they do so?
my mom. almost everything she does affects me in some direct or indirect way.
She teaches by example and defines my concept of normal through her behavior.

What has been your most life changing moment?
What was the moment that made you sit up, take notice and make a change. what has inspired you? broken you? lifted you up?
can be the best moment ever... or the worst
What has been your most life changing moment?
Not sure if this incident changed my life but it gave me the answer I had been looking for without a word being spoken!
The story goes : A few years back my son ( he was approx. 13 )and I were at a gas station. I gave him the money to run in and pay. I noticed a man in a wheelchair heading to the doors of the station. People passed him by, going about their business. He struggled with the door with no help from anyone (all strong adults capable of holding a door) till my son got to the door and held it open for him.
It was a moment of confirmation,that I had raised him well, as I sat there silently in the car waiting for him to return. When he climbed into the car I mentioned to him what I saw ( that many passed by and did nothing but he stopped and held the door ) and thanked him for helping someone other than himself at the ripe old age of 13.
Now this young man has a home of his own and I don't see him as much as I would like but he is STILL the most amazing thing in my life !! His life keeps getting better and better for he does for others and it all returns to him by leaps and bounds!
Those who claim life isn't fair have yet to truly do something selfless !
What has been your most life changing moment?
being born and giving birth
It wasnt a %26quot;moment%26quot;, but an experience that took about two weeks. It was the two weeks I spent in the Amazon rain forest in '97. It made me stop seeing the world from just the human perspective, and see the world from the broader perspective of all living things.
i,ll never forget the day that broke me. it was when my g/f of 11 years told me she didn,t love me anymore (i later found out she had been cheating on me) it took me three long months of crying every night, almost losing my job %26amp; going down to 8 stone to get over it. the day that lifted me up was when i realised that u can love again %26amp; all is not lost. it just takes time. good question by the way
Getting made redundant at the end of 1989. It meant that I travelled, worked in another country for a year: now I work for myself. It also meant that I gave up smoking since I knew that money would be tighter. I think that it was the best thing that ever happened to me, otherwise I might still be in the same job and living in a town that I did not like, Brighton.
Imarried my wonder-full wife 10 years ago,she saved my life.
broken me- brothers sudden death 1972
lifted me- sons birth 1977
take notice- when I turned 50 2006
Cardiac arrest.
When I lost Mom to Alzheimers', Dementia and Parkinsons', that made me see alot of things differently, I try to be a better person, or I just stay in, it has only been 2 years, so I am still trying to get through it, it has really changed my life, I pray alot more now, too.
First meeting the man of my dreams and marrying him, after that I would say the most life changing moment was the birth of our son. Once you have a child you realize that there's a lot more to life then just yourself.!
didn't see my mother for 10 years, finely i decide to go to see her with my 2 boys.....after all these years she acted like she didn't miss me or my kids. that hurt
When i discovered the Truth......
The woman's answer ~ Giving birth! Changed me completely! Oh, and getting plastered in tattoos, I appreciate my identity alot more now, being an individual rocks!
BEST
Having my son
Meeting my husband
WORST
Meeting my ex husband
My best ever moment, was having my daughter, and she was a lovely healthy little baby, until she was 14 months old, and she started to have seizures, she is six now, but has spent most of her life in the hospital. This has made me a different person to who I was, I used to be happy go lucky, but not anymore.
She's my soul mate.
My most life changing moment was when my abusive ex-husband said %26quot;I don't want children, have an abortion, It's me or the baby, you choose%26quot; At the time I had no self confidence or self esteem and didn't believe that I was worth anything, my baby however was worth the world to me so I chose the baby, moving into a hostel and really struggling for a few years, but now 12 years on me, my son and my new man are blissfully happy.
The moment I realized I was a furry. Never been the same or acted the same since then.
Nothing will ever change me as much as having a child.
Ever since he came in to my life he has been the person I care about the most, worry about the most, love the most and work the hardest for.
Getting married changed my life forever. Having a child did also. Accepting Christ as my Lord and Savior also changed my life forever. I have a long way to go...I hope. If not, then things are not too bad. My worst moments were after I broke up with my fiancee. That was before meeting my wife. After the break-up, I truly wanted to die. Glad now that I didn't. My wife is wonderful. My child is wonderful. Life is not bad. As I learn, things get a little better, tougher but better.
Studying in Costa Rica and reading the newspaper depicting the US as a bully. I always believed our country only fought for the good of the world. I realized how brainwashed I truly was.
When I became very ill at 12 . I have severe scolisis it was 100% the dr said I would die without 2 operations, and with the opertion i coudl die or risk being paralized .
The pain during that time was undescible Fear was as well I still remember most of it the pain of being moved to take Xrays on this cold metal portable machine . all kinds of weird things BUT This also changed me as all things in lfe do I learned to be more caring and understanding of those in pain and give them as much respect when they need my help i learned i can overcome
( i need to remind myself a lot)

What five books have changed your life?
Author Chris Cleave asks, %26quot;What five books have made you YOU?%26quot; And I ask the same. What five books have changed your life, and WHY?
What five books have changed your life?
Phantom of the Opera and Lolita showed me the darker side of love. The Zombie Survival Guide taught me how not to become food. Who Moved My Cheese? helped me deal with change. Fern Gully opened my eyes to the beautiful and wonderful world of Sci-fi and Fantasy.
What five books have changed your life?
the bible
the fountainhead
the perks of being a wallflower
a clockwork orange
a catcher in the rye
cause they gave me different
perspectives
The Boy Called %26quot;it%26quot;
the sequal... I forget the name... but those are the two books that changed my life
Stephen kings The shinning because i makes me wonder if what i see is the truth every time i look at something strange.
Blue moon from the immortals series because when a guy stood me up it make me think that it isn't him its something that posseces him.
The vampire acadamy because it makes me see the evil in everything and it has taught me that everything someone does to you is able to be used against them.
Dead until dark because it has showed me that if my love is true it doesn't matter what other people think.
The black tatoo because the girl is stronger than the guys because she has never given in so it makes me want to keep training hard
1)the hunger games (makes me think)
2)wake (is there really more to life?)
3)catching fire ( hunger games baby)
4)fade ( it touches your heart)
5)gone (love really does matter)
these are my 5 and how it changed me
The bible
rainmaker by John Grisham
Atonement Child by Francine rivers
animorphs series by A.P. Applegate
the oath by Frank peretti
Bible
Lord of the Rings (1-3)
Trojan War
Red Wall
Hamlet
They opened up my mind, and I discovered meanings and morals within everyday life. Love,hope, faith, family, friendship. Plus the black side of it: treachery, lies,killing,malice and irony. Through all these words I learned life lessons that aided me up to this day. One can always learn a life shifting thing from picking up bided pages, ink, and a cover.
Only one book comes to mind immediately as it has been fairly recent. A New Earth.
It changed the very way I feel, the way I look at life and moments, the way I understand people, and Myself. The way I think about Consciousness (or God). It talks about the Ego and it was super enlightening. Things just started clicking in my mind. Language is simple and absolutely profound. I bow to Eckhart Tolle. This was truly a mind changing, heart changing, and life changing book for me.
God Loves Laughter by William Sears
Apparently my parents weren't the only one who struggled to explain religion, God, and faith to their children. This is a great book telling one man's search for answers from boyhood to adult, and how's his life changed, grew, and enhanced with his understanding of life.
Firestar
There is a great line in that book that I tell myself everyday, live by it, hold it dear: When a character went to a town meeting, he moved his chair out of alignment. He explained %26quot;Rebel in the little ways, just so the Ba***rds know I haven't given up.%26quot;
When all hope is lost, when the fight seems over, I scoot my chair out of alignment. Just so they know...
The Hidden Words by Bahaulla (sorry if I spelled his name wrong)
Inpsiration, hope, faith, God's love, guidance, support, connection... Just a few words a day gets the mind going and the heart warmed up.
Amy Lee's Journal by Heather Duncan
Inspirational piece written by a nine year old girl, read on tape as a vocal journal of a little girl and her rag tag group who survived an armagedon sort of attack by terrorists. They have to make their way from LA to Alaska, surviving natural and unnatural dissastors, dicovering and, sometimes, fighting off other survivors, and, the whole time, waving the flag as a beacon to others that as long as one person knows freedom, terrisom will never defeat USA.
The real neat thing is she wrote it nearlly 20 yrs BEFORE 9-11.
(I read it everyday and, when asked, I go and forgot the name) By Bob White
It is a collection of articles Bob White wrote giving little windows into life in the early 1900's. It was a type of writing that inspired me, lit my imagination, encouraged me to find a way to draw a picture using the written words. One great line in it explained when he saw the first TV at the World Fair, that he looked into this tiny hole and it was like a %26quot;window to the else where.%26quot;
