I looked around... I want to see what was going on there. But busy road drenched in heavy rain
with so many vehicles, is not allowing me to get stopped. In between war of my mind and
heart, heart won and the immense desire of mine compelled me to get wet in tiny water
droplets. Suddenly I felt this rain has swung my mood from seriousness to happiness. I realized,
desire of getting more success has made me forgotten that I too use to like rains!!
Frankly speaking, I don’t go for what mob usually looks on roads. But that incident is big enough
to unstable the thoughts of any ‘Civil’ society member. A little girl of around nine year age along
with her sixty-four year old grandfather was singing ‘Vandematram’ in that heavy rain. Her
mother and father, dousing completely in the rain, were also standing nearby to her and I can
surely say that they were also in the same felling of patriotism as anyone else in that mob of
thousands of people.
Beside them, a group of senior citizens was also singing ‘Vandematram’ in align to them. Along
with them a huge gathering of young blood, outburst in joy, were sloganeering in support of
Corruption free India. I was surprised. In this era when no-one thinks for others, some people
are still there in sprit of nationalism. Is it really possible, when I was just cursing the bad
weather outside, at that time people were standing in support of my country?
I felt something which sparked a thought inside me. What am I doing here? Whomsoever seen
that are not able to stopped themselves and joined us. Yes now I become part of them. People,
to whom I considered as mob, were no more remained strangers to me. This feeling is
different… a kind of new hope with peace begin to flow inside me. And fragrance of the same is
still alive in me!! I realize celebrating freedom is not just limited to tricolors... it has bigger
aspects which can felt completely if one wishes to go for it. :)
Vaibhav..
