Independence Day
HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY
INDIA, our motherland. Once in a while this word invokes in us, a great sense of Patriotism..A sense of unity with all fellow citizens..A salute to our National flag..Proudly singing our National Anthem..Cheering for our motherland by shouting out Vande Mataram (or maybe by forwarding SMSs and mails which say so)..And remembering a few names who dies for the cause of freedom..
Somewhere in 1990’s when I was hardly 11 years old, I was strongly impressed with the spirit of a village girl named Kalyani. Every time, I saw her, I believed more in dreams, in hard work and determination and in power of the fairer sex. Her courage of taking the road ‘not taken’ and her conviction to sustain against all odds was just too inspiring.
