Lets celebrate freedom!!!
Its 15 August, 2009 ( its already the 15th in India) and 62 years since India became independent and my inbox is flooded with emails "lets celebrate 62 years of freedom/independence", "proud to be an Indian" and orkut is brimming with scraps that say" change your pic. put up a picture of our national flag..lets show the world we are united" and facebook is flooded with independence day messages....and I open my yahoo account to see yahoo celebrating Indian independence..united we stand...
So it is just this one day of the year that we realize the Indian in us..become overly patriotic overnight and theres jubilation and hullabaloo everywhere...fireworks display in some places and change of orkut profile pictures..the night clubs have happy hours to celebrate Indian independence with a shot of tequila ( not to forget the slice of lemon) and A.R.Rehman's Vande Maataram in the background..Reliance and TATA offering upto 1000 mins of Talktime...Westside offering aazadi mubaarak with a Rs.100 off on a purchase of 500!!
How about accepting all these benefits and doing just one thing in return ? May be each one of us should make a resolution of doing something for the country and sticking to it. It need not be very big , something that's within our reach and something that we could do. t's time we stop thinking what the country has done for us and start thinking what we can do for her.
For starters, may be we all could pledge against female foeticide.
here is an old ad, but a very inspiring one..
Happy Independence Day!
