Yeh Watan tumhara hai, tum ho paasban isske.......This mobilink Ad took the prize for the best Independence day Ads. :-)
and Images declared this song as the best milli naghma ever sung.......:-)
So...Independence Day came and went.....all i got to hear that day was how much traffic there was on the roads, and how the last nights rain had played havoc with all the under-construction/newly-constructed roads, and how the power outage lasted for hours after the rain, and how our PTCL number is dead since Sunday's rain, and how the flies have taken over this (decaying) city! *sigh*
to top it all off, this stupid RJ on Radio One insisted on questioning the very existence of this nation on the very eve of Independence Day. aaarghhhh....Some people!
The only good thing to come out of it was that this flag on the corner of our street looked fabulous- kudos to the person who thought of putting it up there! plus there were some really good shows like the one on the history of Pakistan Broadcasting and Pakistan Television. It was nice to see that things werent as rotten as they are now and the electronic media of this country has some potential- they just need to channel (no pun intended) it positively.
Khair...all in all, i missed the school assemblies where 14th of August meant a full fleged uniformed band marching on the tune of the anthem and the pin drop silence for 2 minutes and the hoisting of the flag and the genuine feeling of love for this motherland!
