"Independence" Day??

How ironic is it that we spend the whole year going for lunches, dinners, movies, picnics, meet friends, travel in public transport, and attend all other things, but on our very own "independence" day, this very independence disappears?

People don't move out of their houses
because of bomb scares. Parents don't allow their children to go out with friends because of the same reason. And then we talk about the spirit of celebrating "independence" day!!

Maybe the kite is symbolic of how our freedom gets strained on this very special day. It soars as high it can, just to compensate for the fact that we can't even move out of our homes without creating a scene or getting into an argument with family members. How ironic!!

Well if i was the PM of the country. I would definitely discourage this whole idea of people staying at home. Kite flying is good, but organising competitions would be a far better idea. At least that will get people out of their cocoons.

This is how I spent my day..

Cheero, our enetertainment buddy! Kite flying, a bit of jamming and a lot of fun!

  5. Maybe someday it will actually be implemented. Also, I would like to defend myself by saying that this was more of a suggestion than a complaint!

    Thank you. :)
