hello happy independence day...! sixty years and great...! Times of India headlined sixty years and sexy(?) wonder what they meant by it...! previously it was commentaries on radio to school or parade ground hoisting the flag.. today it is just a day or holiday this sixtieth year is slightly different with most of us glued to tv with different programmes some with newspapers reading about sixty persons who have helped shape india...! great artists sang the indian tune... and yet we are familiar with rajni kanth, shah rukh khan and and for a whole lot of people sivaji is sivaji ganesan ............................ for his shaven head and loin cloth gandhi a cap of all times and a rose nehru the bold look and a congress cap subash chandra bose the patriotic cap and piercing eyes bhagat singh azad and a few other known faces of tilak and gokale in some papers...... the bharathiars forgotten and among the familiar faces (oops whatever is his name?) and the not so familiar ones and the lot who didnt get noticed then and now... it was a hard struggle for independence at least this coming year we shall try and learn something about those lost faces their struggle against freedom and just as we know ... oct 2nd is gandhi jayanthi will we try and get the birthdays of people who struggled and say a short prayer for having given this day of independence? sathya akka thank you for adding colour to tricolour
