Photos: Happy Independence Day!!!

All ye fellow Indians, Happy Independence Day! Happy to be born free and to be living free.  My mom was born in the year of the Quit India movement… and my parents celebrated the very first Independence Day as children. I always miss my grandmother who made delicious sweets every independence day. Today I saw a little girl jump up and down in the streets of Kodigehalli with a flag in either hand… a delightful sight. I am also proud that I am still an Indian celebrating the 15th of August, when many of my one-time close friends celebrate only the 4th of July with great fervour.  To call India a ‘young’ democracy generally gets on my nerves., India is one of the oldest democracies in the world. So please don’t call it Bharata Mata’s birthday…

To celebrate.. I would like to share some pictures with you.. of the India we love and adore. For more pictures visit : http://satyaphoto.wordpress.com
