Hi All,
i am back as i promised yesterday..though i have no idea what to write today..hmmmm..how abt independence since we are celebrating India's 62nd independence day today....
independence..a very subjective word...to a child it means the ability to scatter away from the books and rush to that neighbourhood playground and drain himself of all the energy he had. to a teenager it means the freedom to socialize with who he wants, do the things that he desires rather than what his wards wish for him, to a house wife it means autonomy from her husband, to a husband it means freedom from his nagging wife....
but the common denominator in all the above mentioned scenarios is that the individual in question feels happy or should i say elated...and this is the very essence of independence...it empowers,emboldens,excites,delights the individual experiencing it. its probably a feeling that has to be experienced rather than narrated!!!( which goes against the cause of this very blog and blogging in general..haha)
now let me indulge in some soul searching and tell u what independence means to me.. to free myself of financial dependence on my parents[read to have the liberty to spend the way i like...:)], to face challenges in life using my own ability rather than incessant inputs from my parents, to walk around as a ADULT free from the shadows of elders and the list goes on...
in retrospect, the above may sound as a wishlist..but i guess to me its all the same..
see u all tomm.

nicely put! didn't know tht u blogged- earlier! independence- subjective indeed! even while in a jail, one can be independent(depending upon the magnitude of crime u commit- bigger- the better! Jai Hind!) and even as we walk on road- sans ne company, we can be bound! subjective- indeed!
n i do hope tht u don t mind my blogrollin u..
