martyrish musings.....

I do not know if still the school in which i did almost my entire schooling holds on to this practice of assembling at 11 AM on this day (30 January) every year and observe a two minute silence for all the martyrs who redeemed our nation . I do not know if doordharshan still holds on to its anniversarily screening of the movie Gandhi. My hairs do raise everytime i see this. Also still remember how i felt the ending of the movie "The legend of Baghat Singh" as a tight slap on me. Patriotism, like any other feeling just creeps in at times and drains as against the daily stupidites that easily gain control of us.
