Are you enjoying the warmth of the Winter Sun in the post-Sankranti days of the first month of the Year 2022? This month is indeed special. Here’s why: On Jan 16 was the debut of ‘National Startup Day‘ where entrepreneurship was celebrated with much aplomb.

On January 25 is ‘National Tourism Day’ and on January 26 is India’s ‘Republic Day‘. As the country is marking ‘Azaadi ka Amrit Mahotsav’, there’s good reason for all of us to boost the national economy in our own special ways, within our individual means.

SUPPORT THE LOCAL FARMER & ARTISAN

Visit the touristy attractions in your own area. Try local regional crop produce grown by the farming community. Relish a platter of regional delicacies. Buy directfrom-artisan weaves and crafts and go au Indian. You will be pleasantly surprised with the high-quality products that are manufactured in our own country. Every action of yours can liven up the livelihood options of many others in the urban and rural sectors. So, make it count!

REGIONAL TABLEAUX ON RD PARADE
If you live in New Delhi (somewhere near the Lal Quila or Red Fort) then chances are you have been woken up to the Republic Day Parade drum beats in the morning hours. It’s heartwarming to see the preparations (replete with pandemic safety protocol). Get geared to watch the Republic Day celebrations on your television and be awe-inspired by the progress made by each State.

SHARE YOUR ABUNDANCE
Take a look around – The covid-19 pandemic has been unkind to so many families and professionals. Share your joy and resources with those who may need them. Express your gratitude.

Cheers to Happy New Beginnings…
