I was woken up by my seniors today at my hostel,"Come quick.It'll start soon".Well then I remembered......Yes today was the day.....the day which is being celebrated every year in order to remember that glorious day when Britishers gave up all hope of keeping India under its control.
The flag is being hoisted! I felt a wave of patriotism within me.To be honest the same feeling comes only twice in a year,one during the independence day and other ,republic day and more often when you see a bollywood patriotic movie.
This photo was taken by my friend Jishnu V Nair and he commented on the photo,"Technology isn't reaching its peak due to corruption" .It took a few seconds for me to click that what he meant by technology was the electric tower.On the second thought I really felt that our largely ignorant and reticent population needs to wake up and take charge. We invariably choose compromise over collaboration when it comes to countering community problems. No wonder, whether sport, medicine, commerce or academics, our success emanates largely from exceptional individual brilliance, not strong-willed team work. Whatever our field, whichever the profession, larger issues like matters like civic sense and national pride remain the same. As the tri-colour unfurls in its full splendor on the 15th day of this August, let’s introspect on to how we can together make a positive difference for the nation - whether through Eco-friendly practices, energy-efficient measures, community service participation, financial contribution, fighting corruption or cost-effective innovation.
