Today my country celebrates 64 years of freedom. A lot has been written about in world media about the challenges that India faces, and how several impediments like corruption, poverty and unemployment are holding it back from achieving it's true potential. When you injure yourself, or develop an infection, you tend to the ailing part of you and heal yourself. You don't cut it out and discard it. I am glad that we as a nation are patient and are doing our bit to heal the ailing parts of ourselves. And we will continue to do so relentlessly until the destination is reached. I am sure this holds true for every nation. Big and small. A superpower, or a third world country.
They say that you can take an Indian out of India, but not India out of an Indian. I couldn't agree more with it. I love it with all it's imperfections. You fight with your family, your argue with them, but the love you have for them, makes you forgive and forget and embrace each other once again.
Hmm. Shouldn't I be writing Independence day speeches for our Prime Minister. I shall quit being jingoistic.
This is a song I listen to (and see the video of) religiously every Independence Day. It's not our national anthem, but it gives me goosebumps and I am so in awe of it.
I wish my nation prosperity, peace and happiness in the years to come.
