Among so many resons to love this particular day, these little drops of heaven sit at the top of my list. Never since I gained consciousness had there been a 14th of August when it didn't rain. Things might seem clearer and those frowns might turn into smiles; but no matter wherever you go you won't see it rain green. Never in a million eons.
Me and rain have our own thing anyway. Endless smiles, countless memories, and 'pakoray', for sure. Ecstasy, might be the closest word for the feeling that arouses. But it's different when you have those green flags, adored with the crescent and the moon, fixed across every other rooftop you see. And with the clouds tearing hard, it feels perfect. Utopia.
Frankly, I'm not a patriotic person. People might not even give a single thought when it comes to sacrificing their own lives for the betterment of their beloved country. But I will. But that doesn't, in any way, imply that i do not want this nation and my brothers to prosper and live a harmonious life. I sincerely do; and that is what motivates me to do something or anything that might bring us back from the depths of despair we're lingering in.
On this day, all I wish is success and peace for this nation and my people. I hope future hold something wonderful for us. Till then, may this rain keeps soothing our faith, aspirations and dreams.
PAKISTAN ZINDABAD!
