The best memories of independence day was in school. After that, nothing profound and meaningful was done on this day!
I was a 'girl guide'. So, the day started with donning the blue uniform with scarf and the badges. I used to be so proud when I entered school. Then, as a senior girl guide with the maximum number of badges, we used to have the privilege of helping the chief guest hoist the national flag and make sure its at the right height, etc. Every year, for republic and independence day we used to learn a new national song (from among the 24 national songs I think - one in each major language....) and sing it during the occasion. So, that was a perk for me. I got to know all national songs. Ofcourse, cannot complain about the end of the occasion with several packets of chocolates being distributed.
Happy Independence Day!!
PS: Blame it on the day job and several sleepless nights in a row for such an unenthused post!

Just bcoz you are in India, you think you are more patriotic than me?? Point to ponder on skype!!
@Zep
Really?? Since there were 24 national languages at some point of time, we had 24 national songs, one in each language - one in Tamil, Kannada, Malyalam, Assamese, Telugu, Marati, Hindi, etc.
