On the 15th August, India celebrates its Independence Day and this has been happening since 1947. Not a lot happens on this day except some speeches by politicians and parades and rallies in towns and schools. What does happen a lot are sales of the Indian flag - at every street intersection and marketplace.
I happened to run into some rag picking kids playing with the tricolor flags in the heart of New Delhi. As soon as I approached them Jassi the little girl started beaming with the anticipation of being captured on a camera. With each picture taken she and her friend would crowd around me and break into shrieks of joy seeing some of their antics and shenanigans captured in bits and bytes. They were surely celebrating with gusto so we decided to carry on the party to the local tea shack where a warm sweet cuppa was cherished by all with dunkin cookies.
