Yesterday was very special for me because the whole country celebrated Independence day with great pomp and pride. This day arouses a spirit of patriotism in the heart of every Indian. This time I celebrated this special occasion with my husband to her hospital. Seeing the atmosphere there, the mind was really filled with happiness.

There was a stir in the hospital premises since morning. Colorful flags, decorations on walls, excited preparations for tricolor flags and staff in children's hands. Seeing everything, it felt as if a small hospital had become the whole of India. The voice of patriotic songs was echoing all around and every face was full of passion.

The program started with flag Vandan. When the tricolor flag was waved up, everyone sang the national anthem together. It is not easy to describe the feeling that took place at that time. Seeing the tricolor waving in the air the eyes shone on their own and the heart was filled with pride. It felt as if the memory of all the martyrs of the freedom struggle came out again, who gave us this freedom.

After the flag, some people came on stage and gave speeches. There were not only things of freedom in those speeches, but it was also reminded that we have to protect this freedom and give positive contribution to the society. Hearing every thing, the feeling deepened in the heart that freedom is not just a day celebration, but also our responsibility.

Meanwhile, I was most happy to see my son Uves. He was playing around here and there, sometimes ran towards the flag, sometimes he would be happy to see a sweet plate. His innocent smile made that whole atmosphere even more special. I felt that the real cost of freedom was to create a safe and happy future for the coming generations.

Sweets were also distributed at the ceremony. When laddus and sweets reached the children's hands, their faces blossomed. The elder people were also distributing sweets while congratulating each other. At that time the atmosphere of the hospital looked like a family. Doctors, nurses and patients were all involved in this festival together. It was very emotional to see that while people come for treatment on normal days, today everyone celebrated the festival of patriotism.

During the program, small children were seen dancing and clapping on patriotic songs. Seeing their energy and happiness, it seemed as if the whole atmosphere was filled with freshness. My husband was also very happy to attend this entire ceremony. Seeing a smile on his face, I was also proud that he celebrated this day with his colleagues in such a good way. This day -long experience became a special place in my heart. It was not just a ceremony, but it was an opportunity to remind us how precious freedom is. We all have to protect it together and make our future generations realize how lucky we are. In the end, I just like to say that Independence Day should not only be limited to hoisting the flag or distributing sweets, but we should promise that we will contribute to the good of our country and society. Small efforts can also bring big changes.

This day will always be memorable for me because I spent it with my family, in my husband's hospital and above all in an atmosphere of patriotism.
