Independence Day, It is one leave! Boss

It is only a decade ago when I was studying in school in a small town of Uttar Pradesh. Only thing which I can visualize is that I become much older (it is thought full). I still remember that on Independence Day, our school used to celebrate the national function and we young students used to participate in the Independence Day’s parade at our Tehsil Ground. Every teachers and students were full of feelings of patriotism, but now Independence Day becomes a holiday. radically our mind set has changes. on this day (since it is leave) we can wind up our pending list of matters, can take rest at home, watch movies, etc. etc. No one wants to sacrifice its day for the country. Yes we have grown up.
In Delhi, I have seen new trend, Schools do its duties of celebrating the Independence Day on 14th August, and Teachers do not want to waste their precious leave of a day. So they do their part of duties on 14th August and we too get relaxed, fine today is leave from office!. Why do we require a leave on such auspicious day? Why? it is question for me and you too also. Why don’t we, the people of India, make commitment to our self that we will not enjoy this day as a leave but will celebrate as our Independence Day?

Happy Independence Day to all of you!

Nice thought Vishnu, ..but if you are stating that this leave should be scrapped, then I do not agree with you......and people do celebrate on this day.....there was a function in my colony this day....we are free now, ain't we now?...then what is the harm in taking a break for a day.....i think it is a well deserved holiday....

Politics of perception & defamation

Enlightment thinkers have rejected the authoriity of medieval belief in divine rights of King and upheld the freedom of individual to think for themselves. Rene Descartes say I think, therefore I am. Enlightment thinker also feels that people should have a say in their government. The elections are basically seeking a collective say of the people in governance. Does it happen realy? Or people are forced by the Political Parties, to think, the way, party want? I am of the view that the Political Strategist are capable to force the people to think, the way, they want. This collective thinking or hypnotism or mesmire, which is being created by the parties over a period of time can be referred to as Political Wave or rather we can say that selected information disseminated by a political outfilt against its political opponent plays a pivotal role in election. We must have noticed that whenever Election Commission of India declare, dates for election, people start getting s...
