Independence Day

India is celebrating its 60th independence day today. When I was in school it was compulsory for every student to attend the parade.

But here at college I have attained the flag hosting ceremony for the first time in my college life. On the previous day I laughed on hearing about it. The first question on ma mind was that if there would be any such celebrations.. because I never heard of it!

All the lecturers, professor, lab assistants and the administrative staff were present. Students? Ah, a handful! That too only the members of NSS (National Service Scheme). They were present only to grab the one percentage marks, the university is gonna award for all such activities. I'm also a member of NSS but I am not concerned about the marks. I went to see what actually happens at the collage on this day.
