Such Joy

Our capital was declared a 'no-fly' zone. Trains arriving into the capital were asked to wait outside the city for five hours. Armed policemen and security personnel were deployed in unprecedented numbers all across the nation. People were checked even at shopping malls. The prime minister unfurled our national flag and addressed the nation standing behind a bullet-proof screen and a small army of commandos.

This is how you celebrate 'Independence Day' in this great country of mine! :) Do those fools even know the meaning of 'Independence'? Lord, do I love the irony!!
