14TH AUGUST

Ok So today was 14th of August. Pakistans independence day. Our country is now 64 years old. BIG BOY I MUST SAY :P Way to go Pakiland. Well to begin with, for me today was just an ordinary day like every other. Their were hardly any functions for this day around town so i just sat home , watched a couple of so called patriotic shows and yeah that was just it. One thing i noticed today was the sheer lack of patriotism,while i went for a drive I hardly saw any Flags, I remember when i was young people used to put those JHANDIAN on the walls and the kids were so enthusiastic to buy those little flag badges and brooches but this time the enthusiasm was not their. Even my younger sisters did not demand any flag etc while last time they were head over heals to buy the biggest possible flag. Back when I was young (well here i sound as old as Pakistan, though im still a teenager ) when i lived in an army area as my dad was in army, we used to march in the whole cantt, singing patriotic songs, my friend holding the flag. Those days were love. the 14th august night used to be epic. All the boys and girls gathered to shoot crackers and  the whole area was lit by fairy lights. A full SHUGAL experience to its core. HUH! i miss those days :(
