Happy Independence Day! Yeh Mera India, I Love my India! Each of us love our own respective country. However, in real sense it's our very own Freedom that matters the most.

“Long years ago, we made tyrst with the destiny and now the time comes when we shall redeem our pledge. At the stroke of midnight hour, when the world sleeps, India will awake to life and freedom” said Jawaharlal Nehru. Today, India is a Can-do Nation, Democracy intact, jubilation in real. India, the land of Free, proudly stand independent and as we commemorate the nation on its Anniversary of Independence, Kids Free Souls salutes all those immortal souls for their gallant undying contribution for the cause of the freedom.

Btw, if you are an Indian or even celebrating India's Independence Day, here is your chance to get to Pen Your Patriotism. You got to Hoist your Spirit in You at Sulekha and if lucky, be a winner!
