What Independence Day means to me and many of us?
- It’s almost like any other ordinary holiday to enjoy
- Sleep till late, have a relaxing breakfast
- Watch Doordarshan flag hosting program letting yourself loose on the bed only
- Send or forward beautiful "Happy Independence Day!" wishes on Whatsapp or Facebook
- Look at the Newspaper to find out where the maximum Independence Day Sales are going on
- Take driving license and RC for sure if you go out
- If you could pre-plan, book a hotel for a day or two and go for a nice vacation
- Buy lovely tri-colour dresses, bangle to match with
- Prepare your child to perform in the Society function if you are parent or be ready with Pop-corns to enjoy the recent movie release which to be telecasted on television
- Buy stuff for the feast beforehand to enjoy on the day, call your friends to join
But, is it the perfect way to spend this special day?
Let me bring five points to see where we are on our 69th Independence Day!
