India's Morning Song
Since it was first penned the song’s seen many controversies and its path to becoming India’s national anthem was undoubtedly riddled with craters more than potholes. It is said that Tagore was first asked to write the song as an appeasement to our imperial rulers. A request that angered and offended the patriot so much that he wrote a song that might have been interpreted to sing praises of His Majesty but was in fact meant to extol the praises of the motherland.
He is believed to have said, “…The request simply amazed me. It caused a great stir in my heart. In response to that great mental turmoil, I pronounced the victory in Jana Gana Mana of that Bhagya Vidhata of India who has from age after age held steadfast the reins of India’s chariot through rise and fall, through the straight path and the curved. That Lord of Destiny, that Reader of the Collective Mind of India, that Perennial Guide, could never be George V, George VI, or any other George. Even my official friend understood this about the song.”
However, whatever may have been his intention behind the song its significance remained attached to the invaders. And when it came time for the newly born India to choose its national anthem the choice of Jana Gana Mana astounded and offended many patriots who thought that bugle of all patriotic hearts and the battle cry of the freedom struggle, ‘Vande Mataram’ should have been the winner by a mile, Tagore being one amongst their number.
However, laying down his adamant objections, Pt Nehru is believed to have laid the pragmatic opinion that Jana Gana Mana had that essential quality of all national anthems, the ability to be able to set to music and played easily in India and abroad. Needless to say, his reasoning came as a shock to India. Whatever may be said to be the guiding criteria of the selection of the national anthem, it should most certainly not be that! However, Nehru’s word was final and the seal of approval was stamped by the Constituent Assembly. And so, in the opinion of many, did India retain some dregs of the foreign yoke even as it sought freedom and Jana Gana Mana came to be immortalized as our national anthem.
Though the intention seems to have been to award Vande Mataram the same status, whether that has actually borne fruition is for us to judge …

Let there be light!
Have you ever considered the difference the right kind of lighting can make to your home? The right lighting can effortlessly set the mood apart from making a palpable difference to the way your home looks.
Nothing can, of course, beat natural lighting. A well-planned home should be built such that it gets the best light in all seasons. While you don’t want to build a house where you can’t escape the heat in the summers when you want to, you want to ensure that your house gets the most of the meagre winter sunshine. Now this might sound like it needs to be a conjurer’s trick but that’s not strictly necessary! To set off, matters are greatly helped by owning an east facing home which will ensure that you get sunlight for the maximum amount of time through the day. But since we can’t all have east-facing homes without making for a very lop-sided world the intention should be to allow as much light into the principal rooms as possible. Using light tapestries and furnishings will also go a long way towards the cause.
Natural light apart, there are three basic kinds of lighting a place needs – task lighting, accent lighting and general lighting.
Task lighting is basically functional and used in high concentration, perhaps for reading or being able to examine things clearly.
Accent lighting, like the name suggests is meant to highlight paintings, plants or other interesting things about interior design or landscaping and is basically decorative. That being said accent lighting rightly used can bring your home alive in a variety of ways. Just see the difference it makes over a painting or tucked artfully behind a plant.
General lighting or ambient lighting fills up the gap between the two and is used for the basically illuminating an area.
And playing with just these three basic kinds of lighting there are so many things you can do to revamp the feel of your home! From alcove lighting to recessed lighting or even a soffit lighting to accentuating the pattern on an interesting wall, there are innumerable options you can explore to achieve whatever effect you want!
