Azadi.....

It's 15th August, 2008. Independence day. India is 61 years young today. It's her birthday.
I've been wondering what 'freedom' means to me. Here's my honest attempt; let's see how it turns out.

Freedom, to me, has a somewhat 'individualistic' connotation. I'm a free-spirit, I have no religion, no caste; I don't believe in the concept of worshipping God; I have my own set of beliefs and principles and I live life on my own terms. In other words, I am a liberated soul. I have freedom of choice; I decide what I'm going to do with my life. Nobody stops me from dreaming and nobody stops me from working towards making those dreams a reality. No vested interests educate me, on the other hand the world in which I live does so. I live in a democracy where I have the right to choose the Government. And all of this happens while I do not interfere with another person's freedom. That's freedom to me, freedom of the mind, body and spirit. And I live in a country that allows me all that. Jai Hind !!
