Happy Independence Day!

On 13th I did my fourth Toastmasters speech and my subject was "My Country". The comments from the audience really made me feel happy and I thought it was well received. I did make one mistake when I included reference to a religion along with other "Western Invaders" who had ransacked India over the past 1000 years - but it was not at all intentional. Anyway - the key is that the passion was evident.

On another blog that I was reading, someone had mentioned that over the years the meaning of Independence Day had got lost - kind of diluted or withered away. Not that I disagree but then I feel it is how one sees it - lets not worry about how others percieve it - if each one of us have that feeling - it doesn't matter how others see it. if each one of us can at least make a difference to the veiws in our group - the change will come in.

We had a get-together yesterday and had our own flag hosting ceremony and also sang our National anthem - felt kind of good.

When was the last time you celebrated Independence Day or called someone to wish "Happy Independene Day" - if you haven't done so - do it now...!
