One of my favourite memories of Independence Day has to date way back to my childhood days when I would wake up early in the morning & then along with my dad would go to a nearby school where he used to be the chief guest for the flag hoisting ceremony. On my way back to home, I would buy two small plastic Indian flags from some man selling it on his bicycle on the streets and then proudly put it on the two sides of the television and then keep a note all the day that it doesn't fall on the floor. That was the most innocent & purest form of patriotism I knew, because I knew I haven't got to let the world know of it, because they know, who I'm, intrinsically.
Growing up, these are the fading memories that I live with and wish, everyone could take care of the Indian flags in their hearts in their own way. Jai Hind!-
ज़माने भर मे मिलते है आशिक कई,
मगर वतन से खूबसूरत कोई सनम,
नही होता नोटो मे लिपट कर सोने मे।
सिमटकर मरे है कई । मगर तिरंगे से,
खूबसूरत कोई कफ़न नही मिलता।-
करूं तपस्या जीने कि मैं स्वाभिमान से मरने की
लोकतंत्र के इस हिन्द में जगह नहीं है डरने की-
When the mind of a person is in a state of someone else's mindset, then there's always a probability of poor decisions.
And the person present in this state is very susceptible to becoming something else during tough times.
Thus, it is always a necessity to put up red flags for such a person to be precautionary rather than to become a vulnerable victim.-
Flags
Red or green,
Let's decide, who's gonna win
But first be fair
In dealing with the pair
Decide, analyse, realise but don't catastrophize.
And that's how, things will be alright-
