Children's Day

Today is the birth anniversary of Shree Jawaharlal Nehru, first Prime Minister of India. 

His contributions included 'Discovery of India', a book. I remember an edition of the book that I received as 1st Prize holder in an Inter-school elocution competition in English when I was in middle school or high school.

Shree Jawaharlal Nehru was fond of children. Hence this day is celebrated as Children's Day in our country.
