Today morning, I woke up to the sound of patriotic
Hindi Movie songs in Lata Mangeshkar’s mellifluous voice blaring out of
loudspeakers in the neighbouring Apartment Complex. As I love the songs like Aao
Bachchon…Is Mitti se tilak karo yeh dharti hai balidaan ki, Aye mere watan ke
logon, Vande Mataram etc., it was a great experience.
What made it more special was that today is neither
Republic Day nor Independence Day. Normally patriotism is in the air on these
two days…
