Today is Independence Day. 15th August is a red letter day in our country’s history. I stand up and salute all the great souls who sacrificed everything to gain us the independence.Apart from the national importance, this day is of great significance to me, in my life. It is an anniversary of sorts today. It’s been a year today, since I last smoked a cigarette. 14 August 2008 11:57 is the precise time I stubbed my last fag. I know it’s not a great thing, but for me it is an achievement. I kicked a habit, cultivated over 17 years. When I threw away my last cigarette butt, I never ever thought, that I would be able to stay away for this long. Now I am confident, I can stay away forever.Today I need to thank my wife and my elder son for helping me take this decision and more importantly to help me and encourage me to stay away from fag. Thank you Aadi and Sudha. It would not have been possible without you guys.I do not regret kicking the habit, and would encourage others like me, to quit smoking…..After all SMOKING KILLS.
Great achievement. Kudos for I am the next man in line for sure.
