Today is Gandhi Jayanti, a national holiday celebrated across India to mark the birthday of the great Indian freedom fighter Mahatma Gandhi, known by many Indians as the “Father of the Nation”. It is one of three officially declared National Holidays of India and is observed in all its states and territories.
Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was born on October 2nd 1869 in Gujarat, then known as Porbandar, British India.
Gandhi lived his life with acceptance and practice of truth, non-violence, vegetarianism, simplicity, and faith in God and was a major political and spiritual leader within India. He was a pioneer of Satyagraha, which believed in resistance to tyranny through mass civil disobedience, firmly founded upon total non-violence.
His honorific title of Mahatma, which means “high-souled” in Sanskrit, was first used in 1914 in South Africa.
The movement led India to independence and his efforts have since inspired movements for civil rights and freedom across the world. He was a source of inspiration to many political leaders all over the world, including Nelson Mandela and Martin Luther King Jr.
Time for Trumpkins!!
Bada Bing!
When I’m bored, I call in sick to places I don’t even work.
Tupperware is filing for bankruptcy. They would have kept a lid on it but they couldn’t find one.
Got bored today. So I put a hazmat suit on and went around chalking a big red X on random people’s driveways.
I started jogging today. I didn’t want to but the ice cream truck didn’t stop.
Whenever I go running I meet new people. Like paramedics.
Me: I know what I saw! Friend: It’s called cauliflower, not ghost broccoli.
The reason grilled cheese and tomato soup go so well together is because they’re basically pizza split into two parts.
Turns out you can buy a birthday cake anytime and eat it yourself. Nobody checks!
I can always tell when they use fake dinosaurs in movies.
Me: Takes down a spider web with a broom. Then hang up a fake spider web for Halloween. Spider: Really?!
I am fed up with people saying “I don’t know enough about her”. It doesn’t matter. Because you know EVERYTHING you need to know about him.
New commandment: Thou shalt not use your religion to take other people’s rights away.
Old age is when it takes you longer to get over a good time than to have it!
NO!
