Independence day.
The day the British gave us the right to rule ourselves. But now I wonder what we did. Once upon a time the British clothes were burnt. Now we all wear foreign brands. The toys children used to play are long gone. They are now beautifully made short lived Chinese toys. We are the Japanese in management forgetting the illustrious rulers we had. Mathematics once an Indian domain is now looked down for it fails to give easy lucre. The brilliant politician Chanakya has been replaced with fire and brimstone signifying nothing. Women, once taken to be a deity, a power is now reduced to a pawn.

Today is not India birthday.
Rather it is a quiet moment to contemplate what we have become.

I hated a guy who was sporting a shorts displaying Union jack.
I do not hate him anymore.
