had planned to write something yest.. something abt independence, patriotism, free spirits n stuff but guess wat? I worked like a jennyass d whole day (till 8pm) , trying to get few stories for my paper on a day whn the entire business fraternity in the country was shut.. right from stock markets to IT cos. Wat on earth were we supposed to print on independence day? n where on earth was my freedom to do wat i want on this national holiday? it wasnt until 10pm in d nite.. wen i sat down to listen to some 'love 4 ma country' songs and started to go through the papers at ma own sweet pace that i felt something stir inside me... d proud indian inside me dat got lost in everyday issues of work n home n family(this one islike once in a blue moon.. wen they decide to take up d ever entertaining topic of ma marriage!! ) n frens, woke up from its slumber. just 4 a lle while tho.. coz soon i was bk to d usual.. Dats life! can't escape it.. me and u.
I wonder how LMP would have celebrated this day? she defintely would have worn something in ticolor.. would have probably made it a point to wake up in d morn n sing d national anthem (ok, sorry preeti, for stealin this idea of yours!!.. n making it public. She would have written a touching blog 'dil se' yesterday itself. hmmm.... Instead of punching in some numbers regarrdin business of mobile advertisement, she would have written about some long lost freedom fighter fighting wid the ignorant govt for his 1000bucks monthly pension. Blah! Upon glanicing it, most people would have uttered.
Anyways, so happy independence day to all those who spent d day doing what they had to and all those who celebrated the way they wanted too. if ther is a third kind, lemme know pls. India Rules!!!
