At The Stroke Of Midnight.....

At the stroke of mid night, when the whole world was sleeping,India rose to freedom….

Yes…exactly 61 years back…India did just that….drove away the British who ruled for over 200 years….

I remember…every year on the 15^th of August in our school…we used to attend the flag hoisting…with paper flags pinned on the shirt…

The above sentence has always been the opening lines of an independence day speech in school[be it English hindi or telugu]

It was always a nice experience to be there when something like that is done and look up head held high and salute the flag when the instrumental version of the national anthem is played…

I really Love My Country!!!!
