N sitting idly at home brings back memories. There was a time when we were all excited about going to school and shouting the national anthem at the top of our voice. And I can't help but wonder where that enthusiasm, that zeal has gone. Is the feeling of freedom has gone with growing child? Is Independence Day nothing but a mere holiday in our eyes now?

To love someone an essential requirement is that it should love you back. And there are enough evidences that our country doesn't love us back. Of course it's the people who are responsible for such kind of situation and they should be blamed. But the blame thing does not work...
