Independent India is turning 60 today. I know there are loads of movies, articles on the internet and other media stating the meaning of independence, what it means to them etc, what real independence is etc.
Independence for me, like everyone else, means a lot. Independence is a joie de vivre, has allowed me to stay up late with friends, party every weekend, and life as if there is no tomorrow.
India, as she turns 60 is not without a sense of irony. Today is the beginning of a new me, a transformation, which is costing me the rest of my life. And yes, she stole the independence in me!
Enough hype. I am getting engaged, I can imagine the half (better / bitter) of you laughing away to glory saying “one more down” and reworking the remaining list. Truth is, I was impressed the day I saw her. Nope, I was not successful in going around trees and parks looking for a partner, but outsourced the process to my folks. And, there is enough reason to prove outsourcing works well!
Her Name is Subasri and hails from Madurai in Tamil Nadu, India.
