Independence Day

Independence, have we ever thought what it means, it means experiencing total freedom in spite of whatever activities we are doing and also sharing this freedom with as many people as possible.
One more year has passed by and we will again go into deep slumber within couple of hours of celebrations getting over.

This day when our nation got independence has become a day of vacation and enjoyment for all of us. We send each other messages "Happy Independence Day" et AL, but do we really mean it?
Can we just take couple of minutes from our busy schedule and ponder on what has happened to our nation in last 61 years of Independence, are we progressing, regressing or digressing ?

15th August is not just another holiday or a day to lazy around, it is a day to pay tribute to all those people, even whose names we don't know, who sacrificed their life for our country. Let's get out of this rigmarole of formalities and take some commitment for the coming year. Just close your eyes for a minute and think what this country has given you, what is the current state of India and what can you do to make a difference ?

Are we so useless that we can't make an iota of difference in the society, which we are part of ....
I request you to come out of this sleep, the whole country is being taken for a ride by a group of people who are only concerned about their own interests, if we don't plan a "RDB" Rang De Basanti kinda action sooner, our nation will soon be on verge of going back into pre-independence era.

Let this Independence Day bring a new lease of life in all of us, so that we can work towards building a great nation and bring real prosperity and independence for our mother India.
Jai Hind !!
