Demystifying freedom,today is 15 august ......nothing can be more defining date for any citizen of my homeland.....for our nation was born ........"India won freedom".......yet after 64 years ......what importance this day holds......nothing more than a holiday.....i heard many working people and students lamenting the fact that independence day this year did fall on Sunday....
I am no better than the rest,i woke up at 10:30 am....to the tune of "mera rang de basanti chola" ......picked up the newspaper .......tricolor dominating the pages ....i switched on the television.....stars wishing independence day.......
i have resentment why can't people wish in hindi ....atleast for one day we can afford to use our national language....but no!
I picked up my mobile ,my inbox flooded with independence day wishes ..yet i didn't bother to reciprocate the wishes...for i found it very shallow.......my ear's catches the tune of "jana gana mana".....i don't know something did happen ....."Goose bumps" ......unknowingly i was standing still as i used to in school assembly to the same tune....
there is something about the anthem .......
Hearing it ,i feel like reading,exploring about my nation a bit.....although i have read alot about the freedom struggle.......but feel like fraternizing more.......and this made me establish that every year on independence day .......i would try to know my nation a bit ....i think everyone should....
Jai hind
Swatantrata divas ki haardik subhkanmaye
