Hi...

I am writing this in all seriousness, and maybe damning myself, or all of us? I thought, before 15th August gets over, and I, as I am wont to do every year, forget all about my so called patriotic feelings, I should admit this.

Come tomorrow, I would have forgotten all about my patriotic reviews... all about what I felt today, day before, what my grand parents told me about this country of ours, what all I read in MS, and responded to. These memories are after all to be taken out of the treasure chest once a year, and then are meant to be put back very carefully.
What do I care about where the country is going to, as long as I am ok in my own little world, as long as I earn enough to travel, read, watch movies, eat out. as long as I reach home on time. Basically its all about me.

So, as i settle to watch Jodha Akbar on TV, after all its a holiday, thats all it means to me, if you probe deep enough, good bye Independence Day, for thats what you are to me, just a holiday. See you next year, and dont come on a weekend.
