There is something about Independence Day. The day for once changes our attitute towards the country. We all become patriotic. We hoist flags in out rooftops and in some cases in our window panes. Not to forget the 'Ae Mere Watan Ke Logon' song by Lata Mangeshkar that plays almost all day. Every GEC broadcast films made on India's Independence and serial episodes specially dedicated to the occasion. TV Channels forget to give 'Breaking News' every half-an-hour (Independence Day and its celebration can't be a breaking news right? We all know about it) and broadcast news and interview people who are related to India's sovereignty. All the buzz is really wonderful. But I sometimes wonder, has Independence Day been reduced to just another holiday? I hope not.
While passing through the streets just a day before the Independence Day I came across a building that was being decorated for the occasion. I guess that was some kind of Government office building. What stuck me in the building was that every single window and the whole roof was decorated with the beautiful tri-coloured Indian flag. And the decoration was still going on. Here are two pictures that I managed to take:
Look at the picture carefully. Every single window has one flag. And the two people on the roof are still working on adding more flags to the building.
Here is another photo. But thats side angle view. Its not that clear but you can still see the flags.
This was taken from quite a distance and quite an angle.
Maybe this is the spirit of India. And may this spirit remain the same for millions of years that is there to come.
