The Celebrations of independence is still alive in my street!! Thanks to my neighborhood kids! We complain about Today's kids,but today I saw it live! Happy Independence day!:)
65th year, and the still going strong! 9.00 am, I was still on my bed, until I heard the chorus of Vande Mataram from outside my window . The boy dressed in white had made everyone stand in a row and was holding a book in his hand and was making the other kids repeat after him. It was a pleasure to watch these kids singing , and all their parents stood outside their balcony with proud smiling faces watching them . After the chorus session a bunch of kids barged into everyone's house and wished all of us a Happy Independence day.
For rest of us it was just another holiday where we could sit back and relax, but looking at the enthusiasm put forth by these kids really kept me thinking, What are we celebrating for? Have we enough freedom? Are we really a free democratic country? Is having the right to vote enough to call ourselves free?
The Anna Hazare fasting at one end of the freedom park, Kumarswamy family fasting at the other end because Reddy brothers told something against him, 'I want a separate state called the Telangana' shouts from the other end.Yediurappa promising a trip abroad to all his loyal suckers from our money. Poverty? Corruption? Mining scam? 2 G scam? CWG scam?
Well so many scams proves that we are free! Free to do what we want to do!Right to speech , right to equality, right against exploitation, right to freedom of expression ! We have got it all. This definitely is the freedom we wanted ! While I sit back and relax, and think about more Free G scams, all of them go ahead and celebrate our 65th year of extreme independence!Happy independence day!
