Just now our country has celebrated 64th Independence Day and I am always very enthusiastic about celebrating this day. May be because I belong to defense background. This time I spent most of the time in front of TV. All the news channels were showing something or the other thing about our history of Independence Day.
I remembered my school days. New socks, new Ribbon, nicely white wash shoes, dress properly ironed etc, making sure everything is in place day before yesterday. Those patriotic songs, school functions and of course sweets at the end :).
I really feel the difference of celebrating Independence Day now days. The excitement among students is missing. Many of them don't go to school. Even parents are not bothered to send there kids. Just because getting up early in the morning is boring. They just take it as another holiday. We can see students celebrating Friendship day with great zeal then Independence Day. Strange.
How far it is correct and what kind of learning we are giving them. Need to think on this otherwise picture will be worse after few years.
This is my request to all, please send your kids to schools on Independence Day and Republic day. Respect our motherland and all those great people who sacrificed their lives for Independence Day.
