Happy Independence Day

Best wishes to everyone on the occasion of the 66th Independence Day. A mid week holiday with the day beginning with the flag hoisting ceremony at our apartment complex followed by children singing the national anthem and patriotic songs. It was a nice gathering of the neighborhood with most friends dressed up in national colors and costumes.  Have you noticed Google's Independence day doodle today. I think its cool and very well captures the rich colours and diversity of our nation. Thanks for that!

India is currently at a cross road of sorts where public frustration and anger at rising prices and corruption are showing up in the form of street protests and revolution against the government. As an Indian, I wish that the nation emerges stronger and the government works itself out of this crisis to provide every citizen a safe and prosperous living, promote tolerance towards others, bridging the gender equality gap and take steps to prevent corruption in public life Three cheers to my country, May the force be with us...

I wish all my friends everywhere in the world, visitors to my blog a very happy Indian Independence day. Cheers!
