Independence, it is also called freedom, sovereignty and a lot of other synonyms you can look up on dictionary.com. The point here is what are we celebrating? What is there to be proud of? What have we accomplished in these 60 years. The development done since the time of British is standing its ground and the roads made two months back break under the tires of my bike.
And to top it off, we have the 'Chalta hai" attitude so common with us Indians, we have a jugad for everything, and most of the shit happening around us is an SEP ( Someone Else's Problem).
So what to do? Turn into god fearing, country loving, other's trash picking proud Indian citizens overnight?
Nah, don't care, don't give a fuck. This is the beauty of India, everything is an S.E.P. If with our broken infrastructure, corrupt administration, doped out call-center generation and jugadi youth we can make it to 60, I'm sure we'll cross 120!
So chill, relax and don't bother to pick the wrapper your friend just threw on the ground, there is lot of chewing gum under the desk one more can't hurt, can it? And yeah, giving that "small gift" to that clerk just gets the work done faster.
So be it!
Cheers, to next 60 years!
Happy In-Dependence Day
