Letter to my motherland
Answers
Today I have mixed feelings, I am feeling good that I am trying to have word with you but same time it’s killing me inside thinking why it took so long.
I could have spoken with you at any time, but I ignored it. I kept myself busy in school, tuitions, video games, burgers, and whatnot. I easily find time to watch a Disney movie, the same way I could have found time to talk to you. I am sorry. I know you have heart of gold, you will forgive your child and write me back.
I will not crib about others today, who did what and who hasn’t. I want to tell you what I am going to do for you. In fact, I am too little to do anything for you, you are almighty, what I can do for you. Still, there are little things I can do to respect you and to value your gifts.
You gifted us food, shelter, freedom, and identity. But as we are not paying for it or fought for it, we have ignored you, we have taken you for granted. But I am going to correct my mistakes now.
Oh, mother; I love you from bottom of my heart. Please forgive me, please forgive us all for being so naive and ignorant. I will do all that in my capacity to make it all good.
Hugs and Kisses,
Your Son / Daughter

Dear Motherland:
I hope this letter finds you progressing and developing. I am writing this letter to thank you from the core of my heart for everything! You have given me the gift of life. I have grown playing in your lap. I can never ever thank you for the friends, wonderful plays, and happy times I had in my childhood. I walk on your surface; I eat the food from your crops; I eat the fruits grown in your orchards, fields, and pastures. Thanks for the sunlight; the rivers, the oceans; snow-capped mountains. I always feel I am closest to you when I am in the mountains. You have been a great motherland. You gave me more than my needs. You gave me a paradise. I am so lucky to have a great motherland like you.
You gave me the gift of education. I was born as a savage; but with the power of education I was transformed into a good human being. In your schools, colleges, and university I gathered the light of knowledge. I learnt lessons of life and rare wisdom from wonderful guides, leaders, masters, writers, great leaders, saints, etc. I thank you for all of them. I take a pledge that I will endeavor to be like a great son of yours. Thanks for the struggles I had to face that made me a better human being. I always felt your loving support whenever I was depressed and despondent. You filled my heart with new hope and strength to carry on and to hold on.
I promise you I will endeavor to bring honor and glory with my sincere efforts. I will remember my responsibilities towards you. As you reared me into young man, I will also look after you when I grow up. I will not do anything that might tarnish your image. I will never forget that you bore sufferings in the shackles of intruders. I will remember you give your everything in nurturing millions of your sons and daughters. Thanks my dear motherland. I love you. May you always prosper and be safe!
Your loving son,
An Indian
