Sab deshvasiyon ko swatantrata divas ke shubhkamnayein
After 59 years of building on those fine, cast iron democratic foundations, let's not blow it. This is our century. It awaits, to be won over with warmth, generosity and confidence. And let's show some grace and sensitivity while doing it. To the largest and unlikeliest democracy in the world and it's millions of deprived, as they eagerly await their turn, in hungry expectation.
P.S. Have pulled the Bharatbala vid since it turns out they are a bunch of arseholes who don't pay their cast and crew.

This is so well made, thanks for putting it up. There're some really nice ads in similar vein from Videocon (gayatri mantra), Aditya Birla and even one ad of British Airways. This century belongs to the tiger and the dragon, and may the tiger stay ahead.
Happy Independence Day to you too.

Ah! The Bharat Bala style of patriotism ;) Paints a really pretty picture indeed. And made with the help of a large team that was eventually deprived of their paycheques, and even now, they eagerly await their turn in angry expectation!
Phew! (Can't help bitching about injustice done to friends!)
Happy Independence Day!
:)
P.S. Have you ever attended any Vijay Divas commemorations yet? I find those deeply moving and the feeling of patriotism so completely overwhelms one at that point...
N, let both run neck and neck:-), I say. Make 'em behave themselves.
Vij, the truth is ugly, we have art lest we perish of it and all that like ol' Nietsche would've said, but what does one do when the art hides some ugly truths? Anyway, good luck to the team. No, I haven't done any Vijay Ds. Embarassing:-)
Niet-z-sche:-)
You took off the video :O
I will definitely let the people concerned know! Pi, my gay friend, was the casting director/choreographer for the video, and when the accountant refused to pay them, saying he was short of funds, Pi threatened to rape him, and stripped down to his boxers till the pot-bellied, middle-aged Tam Brahm accountant almost had a heart attack. He rather dramatically opened a cupboard and flung a bagful of money at Pi. He paid off his actors with that but the money wasn't enough! 4 were left unpaid along with Pi himself and 3 more technicians!
But this story is famous in these circles :P
Medic + Nietzsche = Dr.Kevorkian.
Or maybe not. Equations were never my strong point.
Vij- But I am not from such intersting circles, you see. I'm just a frazzled medic who's drowning in textbooks at the moment:-)
Hi, raindrop, welcome:-) Kevorkian! Verrry interesting blog-topic. Thanx for the idea.
