independence

BTW, just to clarify – India has completed 60 years of independence, and technically, this is the 61st Independence day

Proud to be Indian.

India celebrates its 59th60th Independence day today. Interestingly, Wikipedia says that kite-flying is a popular activity across India on this day. Interesting because I never got that impression in all these years. Did any of you guys assocatiate Independence day with kite flying?

For me, 15th August tradionally used to mean half-day at school, white uniforms, speeches, candy pack given at the school (containing 6 orange candies and some Parle-G biscuits), catching glimpses of the parade on TV between running out and playing with the rest of the kids on the street.

Take a moment to think about India.

Jai hind.
