Independence Day

Jashn-e-Azaadi Mubarak to Everyone :)

Pakistan, our beloved country turns 62 today. Sixty-two years have passed by since the time when people gave their lives for this country.

We celebrate independence day every year on 14 August. But why is it that we become patriots only for a month, or a week or a day? Why can't we be like this the whole year?

Why can't we care for our country and love our country the whole year round? Why do we just wake up at this time? And why do we wake up in such a way? I though we were short on electricity but look around and you see all buildings glowing with high wattage lights? Where is the load shedding now? Why is it that we love our country so much and yet we are dying to leave it? Why is it that we study here and when we become something, we just pack our bags and leave? Where is our patriotism at that time? This country has given a lot to us and it still is giving. But have we ever considered that what have we given back? Do we pay our taxes? Are we doing anything to save electricty or water wastage? We aren't even doing the small things and there we are putting up large flags. When was the last time we sang our National Anthem?

Things just keep coming in my head and the list goes on. I guess I'm just grouchy today.

Anyways, happy independence day to everyone. This country is one of the best and may Allah bless this country always, ameen.

Take care friends and keep blogging.

Zara num ho to yeh mitti bari zarkhaiz hai saqi :)
