Celebration of 72 nd Independence Day in our Colony!
Hi Friends... Today India is celebrating her 72 nd Independence day... :)
In our colony, we have a flag pole and there was a small flag hoisting function today morning from 8 to 8.30 am.
Here are some cool pics....
After saluting the flag, we did sing the National Anthem, followed by a speech from our Society's President, about Gandhi Ji, Nehru Ji and all other freedom fighters as well as those brave Soldiers who have fought and are fighting near the borders for the Security and well being of our Nation. The function ended with the serving of a good Breakfast!!... :)...
A small group of around 50 residents from all age groups were present at the venue...
Thank you so much for reading my blog and Happy Independence day to all my dear Indians... Jai Hind.
All the pics were taken using my smartphone Honor.
Lovingly Your's, @geetharao...

STOPhullo at geetharao, wooooooow i am so happy for india and you in particular, this reminds me of all the slavery we had here in africa . for us we look at independence as a very big step to the growth of our continent. enjoy
WOW! I always keep looking for a pole to hoist a flag but its difficult to find an empty pole on this day. I haven't came across such a pole on the edge of a road.
There must be some very patriotic people in your colony who planted a fixed pole here for this occasion. (But then why is there another hole in the middle of the road?)
It would have been better imho, if someone had delivered an invigorating speech instead of reading out from a pre-written piece of paper. But good to see so many residents present there and listening patiently.
Hi @xyzashu... The pot hole on the road is the drainage man hole :)(It's lid)
And... Yes, He is our Society's President. Though he gave a speech, writing down the points on a paper, he spoke well, giving a tribute to all those who sacrificed their lives for the freedom and also those soldiers who were and are fighting on the borders!.
Ahh I see!
Okay, so the paper was meant for only reminding about the points. That's a good strategy to organise and structure a speech. I misunderstood it.
happy Independence...

This Independence... Plant a tree, or help a poor kid's education, or spread love among all religions, castes, ethnicities. Shed all the barriers & make India a better place to live.
Wish you a very happy independence day.
