Independence day this year was different. Standing on British soil, we a bunch of 70 odd Indians got together in a meeting room of our office. We shared our views about freedom. We had a quiz about independence and India. And finally we stood together to sing our national anthem. I closed my eyes and started singing aloud to feel all around me different accents(Tamil, Telugu, Marathi, Gujarati, Hindi,Bengali and all) singing along in the same tune and in harmony.
I discovered a new Jana Gana Mana Adhinayaka this independence day. I discovered India. I had goose bumps and I felt, suddenly, proud to be Indian.
Jai Hind.

PS:
i liked the title of the post :P
@Edu: You don't have to have widely celebrated independence day to celebrate freedom. Its good if you have but otherwise a simple thanks to those who have made your nation so great would do just fine. Thats what I think.
@Wildflower: Thanks. It is true that we feel our patriotism on very few occasions. But those are the moments which make our lives.
Hey a good read buddy...Awesome pictures...Apt title and amazing way to co relate it with India...
oops dat comment is both for the Independnce day an the Isle of Skye... looks like i got too overwhelmed that i mixed up the two in the end ;)
Nice title, if it's intentional. The feeling you've described, I can only imagine - you can only experience it if you're not in your country.
