Freedom to me is ...

15th August, 2010.

63rd Independence Day over,

Independence or Freedom is one of the most valued words in everyone’s vocabulary. For most of us, Freedom is a word relegated to the yellowed-with-age Constitution books, vacuumed and dusted annually and flaunted for a week at the most, around August 15th.

Freedom walks hand-in-hand with responsibility always. It is such a feeling that once you experience it, even if you mess up a little bit due to the initial euphoria, soon enough you’ll draw your own line of control. However talking in a more social way, one can’t imagine not being a free individual- unshackled and unrestrained. Freedom is to speak up one’s mind, free to express any and every opinion fearlessly, free to criticize and of course be criticized and above all to put oneself on the line- no matter what the cost.
