Respectful salute to martyr Lance Naik Mahabir, Service Number 42212 of Royal Artillery, who sacrificed his life on 8th February 1919 during World War-I defending France. He lies commemorated in St Severs Cemetery Extension in France. I visited this cemetery and respectfully placed paper flowers on his and memorial stones of all Indian soldiers and non-combatants lying commemorated in this cemetery.

I was in Buenos Aires, Argentina, last year around this time. In the evening I went for a little walk on a boulevard. I notice a deal of crowd and loud sound of music coming.
