This Independence, Be a Butterfly!

65th Independence Day!
Sounds BIG yeah!

This one was a bit different for me..
I could really sense the feeling of freedom, some patriotism.. It felt great!

Why not share with you a small poem first, that touched my heart -

“I’ve watched you now a full half-hour;

Self-poised upon that yellow flower

And, little Butterfly!  Indeed

I know not if you sleep or feed.

How motionless! – not frozen seas

More motionless! and then

What joy awaits you, when the breeze

Hath found you out among the trees,

And calls you forth again!

I ask to be free,  like a butterfly”

-William Wordsworth 

Isn't it just so simple and yet so powerful! 

Well I fell in love with it the first time I read it.

So, yes I was talking about Independence Day! We had a Kite decoration competition in our office, my first job!

And yes, I chose this theme, as simple as it is and as deep as it can get! I enjoyed a lot, felt patriotism in my heart while creating the theme or explaining it to the judges. It was just simply amazing..

This Independence, Be a Butterfly!

A free creature, so colorful bringing smile to everyone's face :) 

And yeah, this was done on 14th August! And then this question comes to my mind -

Are we celebrating Pakistan's Independence Day?

I always keep wondering this that why do we always celebrate our Independence Day on 14th and then just sit snooze off at home on 15th! 

Then I got a witty answer which made me ponder a lot - 

We are very happy that Pakistan got independence (got separated) , that's why we celebrate it!

Is it??

Was Pakistan's separation so important for India's Independence? 

If we are so dependent, then how are we independent?!

Anyways... back to my independence spirit ;)

So, 15th Aug, I went for 'Ek Tha Tiger'. I was expecting the normal Salman Khan drama, but it was something different!

It was a masala movie but it gave a clear and sweet message. 

It provoked all of us to think again, why are we still fighting! 

Are we actually 2 independent countries? If yes, how can we be so dependent on each other?

Well, it was a good act and not with all those melodramas and still could deliver a strong message!

I don't know what was the reason -the poem / the butterfly/ the movie... or whatever!

But I am feeling as if I actually celebrated Independence Day and I am feeling happy about it!

P.S. I had great food ;)
