Independence!

14th august is coming up , all the country glows into green and white colors, it's a view worth watching, the flags in the air, and people all in excitement, making plans for 14th August, kids buy badges with Pakistani flags and proudly sway them in the air, schools get started for the preparations for 14th August celebrations, it feels like a new Pakistan has just taken birth.
Facebook Dp's twitter Dp's and all the other social networking sites have something green and white in them, Everyone googles to find the best Dp trying to reflect their love for Pakistan.
It certainly is one of the most important days of history, and should be celebrated with zeal and zest.
Proud Pakistanis and patriots decorate the country, putting large posters and banners on the roads.
I have a very old memory of my childhood when we use to celebrate this day with extreme excitement, we siblings and cousins used to visit shops and buy badges, flags, and I yet remember there used to be green and white glasses made up of rubber, we used to fight for those a lot, and also those flash cards, with Pakistani flag printed in them, we used to buy bundles of them and decorate the complete house with them, sticking them on the borders of the doors and walls, worked hours to get them stick there, after we were done with sticking we used to call our neighbours to show them our house, that seems so funny today, but that was true excitement, and love.In the morning of 14th aug we used to get ready wearing our new dresses and hanging all the badges we had brought, wearing those funky glasses and assuming to look really pretty, we visited the studio to have photographs I still have those photos, where i am holding a flag and and wearing loads of badges on my frock, we actually look funny, but I can't forget that enjoyment, it's ages since than , and we don't do any such stuff now, the time has changed, quite a lot, perhaps now there little remains that patriotism, I wish I could bring those days back<3
Now it's not the same, a little or nothing is done by us to show our love through this day.thats sad:(

I wish all the Pakistanis a very Happy Independence day!
