It is none other but the country’s national anthem and I heard it for the very first time when I was in first grade.

What story the song tells?
Actually, it is more like a ritual in my country that in every school National Anthem is played during the morning assembly. It’s a way to make children get familiar with country’s history and geography and promote unity at the same time. National Anthem is in the regional language, Hindi and is written by the famous poet, Rabindranath Tagore and describes the country India in a very aesthetic way.

It boasts the various features of the geography of India, especially the Himalayas rivers along with the cultural diversity and integrity of Indians. By reciting it over and over, I have learnt it by heart though its lyrics are little challenging to memorize. I must say that I particularly like the musical notes of this song and every time I listen to it, it evokes my patriotic feelings.

Whether the song is popular?
This one song unites the entire nation and makes people of different religions, castes and creeds feel united. That’s the reason why it is always played on national days to bring the entire nation together.

Similarly, during sports events also it is played to boost the morale of the players and to release their national feeling. I find this piece of music highly inspirational and energy giving that whenever I feel low I play it loud to feel rejuvenated.

Overall, it is one song that I find interesting.
