Happy Birthday Gandhiji

Not sure when, how and why it started, I never forget Gandhi Jayanthi  and I am so glad my memory helps me out. I admire this man inspite of his innate human flaws.

Last night, I remembered a great blog I read last year - "Admiring a flawed Gandhi"

"The flaws don’t diminish these men, they make them more interesting, revealing their complexities. Ignoring that and seeing them only as icons is our flaw."

He never had the pristine philosophy we phantasmagorically created but he was the quintessential man portrayed in Robert Frost's poem Road less traveled.
