15th August. Is it worth celebrating ?

 All the news is now about COVID, that sometimes other news just gets buried underneath. 

It was only yesterday I heard that this year India will celebrate its 75th year of Independence.

75 ! Wow. We have come a long way. 

Or have we ?

What are we celebrating ?  Should we ? It is worth it ?

And how fast time flies !!

I remember the year India celebrated its 50th year of Independence. The celebrations were on for a whole year.

The news was all about hope, and progress, and success gained and success on the way. I was still in school , but I felt great about the country and the times. I felt this was the best place to be in the world right now.  There was no need to worry about the future, because WE will make the future.

I was naive. 

So if you are celebrating this year , good for you.
