n.J.A.I. Day

By Sanket ‘proud to be Indian’ Kambli

What is this day?

Oh! Its simple it stands for not Just Another Independence Day.

So what is so special about this i-day?

Nothing much, but the build up to this day, was something which is embedded in our minds.

So this time what would people of Mumbai want freedom from?

They would want the freedom, to decide, how much rain falls, and when, right!

People want to be freed from life which was worse than the life in jails.

Think about it, one couldn't venture out of the house, fearing they would get drowned.

Every time it rained a bit heavily, people got paranoid, thinking that it’s going to flood all over again.

Paranoia and fear is what people would seek freedom from.

They want not much freedom for themselves, see people are so good.

They would want this city be freed from clutches of people who are hell bent on turning this city, a nightmare place.

But wanting things and getting them, are two different things, I am not being pessimistic, but just writing these things and making people aware doesn't help things. Such revolutionary changes affecting millions, require what else? Their Participation!

I won't use too many jargons, even in this context, I would just say, keep your eyes open, and make sure you treat and love, this beloved city of ours, with the same heart and dedication, you would love your child.

I sign out saying, Jai Hind, take care of yourself and this city, it needs you.
