4thJuly,2o18
This year I went to upstate new york by bus for attending a religious retreat The big Academy bus was full of participants.It was like picnic party . we were practicing the choir music .The journey took about two hours.I occupied the window seat to enjoy the outside view. I felt the same vibrabation and echo of childhood-excitement of Independence day also here on 4th july:the national anthem in chorus with drum-beat and bugle....The bus ran through the City, Newjersy and then small towns. I looked outside with curiosity.I did not see any teacher guiding the marching of school-children or singing pariotic songs anywhere throughout the bus-journey; nor a single pedestrian walking on road; only few running cars moving now and then. Just a regular holiday scene;late rising ,wallowing in comfort on bed .
Why such a big democratic country is so silent in this auspicious Day?.......I remembered my past and first experience of 4 th July in US.
