India is celebrating 72nd year of independence. But wait a minute, are we really celebrating? 16 hours of my festive day went into sleeping, waking up late, applying coupon codes on food orders, getting calls from my boss on an urgent deliverable, eating and listening to Modi's election focussed speech.
Is this is the celebration? but how to celebrate it is a big question. I went on my terrace in the evening and was shocked to see the number of kites which is decreasing year after year. I remember, in my childhood days, I used to go on to my neighbor's terrace regularly for a month before the independence day to fly kites. But now that time has gone and overpowered by gadgets and social media which claim to bring people closer. Yeah, I am sure, I now receive 20 messages on every festival as opposed to actually talking to 10 people physically.
