“yeah !!!!.....Its 15th of august!!!!”


Independence day!!!……wellll jusssst another holiday for most of us…..…almost all of us don’t really realize the importance of independence…..it means different to different ppl…..to us teenagers (oooops!!! Better say youngsters!!!), indepence may mean goin 2 late night movies, no offences on our expences , not a word of abuse from parents, getting permission for sleeping over at friend’s place , having guys in our gang….blah blah……this is wt v cl freedom…..bt v hardly pay any heed to the importance of india’s independence n the freedom struggle…..

The way v celebrate this day is by attending a flag hoisting ceremony (long bac in school tht too), tryin to move lips acc to the national anthem being sung by others(I cn bet many of us dnt rem the lines perfectly), sendin happy independence day forwards by sms (the num being much less thn on friendship day or valentines day), watchin spl progs at hme being aired on ths occation……n this is wt v cl the celebration for independence……huh!!!!......i being nt an exception to all this really feel guilty of the soo sheer hopeless n helpless condition of todays generation……ther has been a drastic change in the attitude itself….ofcourse v cnt expect the selflessness of our freedom fighters in the youth of today bt atleast ther must b a sense of responsibility towards our country n a sense of respect for the ppl who cud evn give away their lives for our motherland…..our patriotism is limited only to the times of war n cricket matches……v hav to bring a change in our attitude n ideology.
A gr8 change at the family level itself is evident that talking in terms of much bigger arena such as country seems soo illogical to me……frankly speakin, the affection n helpful attitude ppl had for each other has almost vanished in the urban society……ppl r soo busy with their careers tht they hardly find time to spend with their close family itself leav apart thinking abt county n its growth…….ppl r soo engrossed in their personal benefit tht they hardly realize the hopeless situation our country is presently in…..though most of us knw it very well, v jus escape it coz v anyway cnt change it…...with a dirty system of politics n the inherent unavoidable corruption has become the part n parcel of our country 2day……wt v cn do is jus sneer at the system, express our frustration thru writings like this n thts itt!!!......cnt do anything else……v actually dnt want to take any risk….basically cowards ana mata …..n with all this v r celebrating independence day( if at all u cl this a celebration!!!)……v r indebted by millions n millions of dollars to world bank n v cl this independent india !!!!......v cnt get any work done at any govt office without payin anything under the table n v cl ths independent India!!!......hmmmm soundin very much filmi na….
With the craze of evrythin being westernized ,v hardly realize the speciality of India…..india is a place with awesome sceneries in jammu n Kashmir (((oops!! Any Pakistani reading this???? ))))….many green fields make us feel real heaven on earth….. India is the country with a lot of man power((( population, I mean!!.....nw comon I never meant thaaaat man power which led to the population [:d])))….india is the county having a lot of brain power ( all v IT professionals n other scholars of whom usa is takin full advantage !!!)….india is full of many natural resourses than any othr country……this is a country wher u ll always find friends in strangers unlike anywhere else wher the relations r very cold……this is a country which embraces all other cultures n still maintains its unique nature……it’s a country with such a rich n cultural heritage…….its a country with a great history…….
n with all this v hav still leant to dislike our country because of its present state……n obviously our frustration to the present system is curtaining all the positive features…...nw isn’t it our responsibility to highlight all the positives n curb all the evils prevalent today…..ya I knw, saying is easy…..bt bringin words into effect is all wt is needed to change the scenario……bt all this seems to b very much a distant dream!!!......if all v youngsters throw a blind eye towards everything like nw then expecting any change wud b counted as mere foolishness…....an awareness has to enlighten us with the sense of responsibility towards our society n then v cn bring out our own solution to the situation…..bt ths may nt b as easy as the software solution on which v struggle day n night……this essentially involves gr8 deal of selflessness n guts!!!….n thts itt!!!.....v cn change our India into our dream land……. After all India is our country!!!....a place we are all born!!!......our motherland……our home!!!!!.........n lets come together n join hands to work towards bringing the words “mera bharat mahaan” come alive!!!!
Jai Hind
“happy independence day”
