Solitude is Independence




Solitude is independence. Really? Bernard Shaw rightly said and i quote "Independence? That's middle class blasphemy. We are all dependent on one another, every soul of us on earth."
On this day when the incredible India celebrates her 64th year of Independence, we are reminded once again of the same old question: Are we really independent? Did we really gain freedom from the British? Aren't we clutched in the hands of in numerous 'east india companies'? Is this what real freedom means? Let's introspect and more importantly take some initiatives, baby steps atleast............each one of us.
On this independence day, i dedicate the following poem 'Intesaab' by Faiz Ahmed Faiz to all those unnoticed men & women who make one the mightiest nations in the world, India.

Jai Bharat! Jai Hind!
