I-Day

South Delhi Apts, Sector 4, Dwarka celebrated Independence Day with patriotism and feeling of oneness. People assembled in large numbers at the society gate to hoist the national flag and salute our motherland. It was hoisted by the president of the society Mr. Kalsi. Our national anthem was sung with a lot of gratitude to the freedom fighters and respect for the tricolor by one and all present. “Jai Hind” was then chanted proudly by the free citizens of India. The heroic deeds of all those who laid down their lives for their motherland was reminisced deeply.

Apart from the flag hoisting, the society had arranged for a small get-together which included snacks and hot tea. Hot samosas and jalebis were served to the residents. This gave each one of us in the society a chance to come together and mingle with each other, which is a rarity in today’s hectic lifestyle. With each of us busy in our own worlds, children with their studies and elders with either their office work or daily household chores, life becomes monotonous with routine work without any break in between. Such small congregations pave the way for interaction amongst the residents in a spirit of fraternity and brotherhood. The active participation of all the residents - young and old alike - makes us look forward to such events and as a resident part of South Delhi Apartments, I look forward to many more joyous occasions.
