Can you say that Independence day , Aug 15 will be , hypothetically speaking elate "mother India' in the present?<br /><br />As for the 'just a another day' that commercial interests have planted in the minds of people I have aid my opinion in the post.anilkurup59https://www.blogger.com/profile/07961961217418715354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4448802533825615490.post-67797427277967028592011-08-19T18:57:45.971+05:302011-08-19T18:57:45.971+05:30Well said!

Patriotic? me? I dont know the meaning...@ Melange,<br /><br />Patriotic? me? I dont know the meaning as such. One thing about the D day as many would call it instead of the anthem the song"cry motherland cry... we cry for thee.." should be sung.<br /><br />As for the other "days' of insignificance like the friendship day , only commerce gets done. All know that but it has become a fashion . So be it.<br /><br /><br />@ Kunnu,<br /><br />Thank you .

Minorities may not be wrong all the whil...@ Balan,<br /><br />Minorities may not be wrong all the while. The obsession with the majority opinion and that the majority is always right is miserably the bane of democratic thoughts.<br /><br />I acknowledge that the subject of "independence day' is an oft mentioned thought.But I felt that is very relevant even if the opinion is in the minority.<br /><br />As for the comments on the 'Friendship day' and other days of 'commercial brilliance', it is like Coke, a fad!Nothing more, shallow and superficial. All the artful statements made on those days are forgotten before they are heard.<br /><br /><br />@ Bikramjit,<br /><br />You too are, am afraid in the minority Bikramjit. Savour it.<br /><br /><br /> @ Kavita,<br />A dispassionate observation will not ask us to evoke all those sloganeering on August 15th. But will call for introspection .Like the parrot it dose not take us somewhere chattering,"India is my country and all Indian....". It is nothing but like chanting the scriptures while knowing not.<br /><br />You missed out this year as you did not receive any friendship day wishes.<br /><br />@ Insignai<br /><br />Why visit the same stuff?<br /><br />Its just another day like friendship day and mothers day and day day day .....anilkurup59https://www.blogger.com/profile/07961961217418715354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4448802533825615490.post-70281526354743347002011-08-10T20:34:09.621+05:302011-08-10T20:34:09.621+05:30I go with you word by word
