Happy Independence day :) ye ye ye .. cos today we don't have to go to office, don't have to struggle with traffic jams , we can enjoy a mid week holiday and post wishes and comments on FB..
Why should we care if the country is in distress, suffering in the hands of the corrupt, debauchery is awarded and truth seeking RTI activists are slaughtered mercilessly. Where mean, shrewd and corrupt hold high positions honest and hardworking are made to slog and suffer. Half of the country still doesn't get 1 meal everyday. And we export lakhs of tons of food.
But we are happy cos our salary has hiked (though taxes and inflation will eventually loot you anyways), we have booked a flat (your flat will not have good infra of roads,drainage,water and electricity), and bought a new car (though you will be spending large amount of time in traffic jams).
Things doesn't look that bad if you just think on your personal level and your view of bigger picture is blinded by your greed.
For all those happy souls celebrating the independence day, I have a story to tell.
