She's flawed, She's getting old, she's got aplenty wrinkles which mar her beauty & she's got quite a many thankless children too.
Children, who grew up in her lap, got enriched by her guidance, became so becoming, that they started getting wooed by prospered beauties.
Forgetting the fact that the mother needs care & cherishing as she gets older, the children started leaving the nests without a sense of remorse; only to move out & crib about the very home they once lived in & became the people they are.
Alas, that is the case of our dear Mother India, who after gaining independence 62 years back, is yet struggling.
No doubt, there are a few bright spots too, but after a long battle, one needs an assured rest... & she is yet to become dependent on her children before taking that long deserved rest.
Yet...
She's strong, She's aristocratic, She's indomitable & She's too much graceful to let any of the blots ruin her spirit.
Inspite of everything, inspite of all the draining away that we [her children] are causing her, she still is the same, still is holding fort strongly among the heads of the world.
Vande Mataram to this great Motherland, to Mother India.
A Very Happy Independence Day.
