What is freedom for you? Just a topic to be discussed on independence day? Or something which you find better on some pages? <\/p>
<\/p>
But for me, Freedom is just like the running blood in your veins; without which you are just a body with flesh! \r<\/p>
For me, Freedom is to love my own self, whether my complexion is fair or dark, whether My body shape is just slim like a hourglass or a healthy like a cute Panda! Whether I am short or tall, intelligent or dumb or someone who doesn\u2019t fit in the definition of an ideal person in the so-called \u2018Indian society\u2019, I own my ownself! Nobody else, except I can define my boundaries and limits to dream and love myself! \r<\/p>
The day, one starts loving the differences in your own body, trust me, you have boarded the train called \u2018FREEDOM TO LIVE\u2019.\r<\/p>
For me, Freedom is giving voice to my opinion whether on the dias of the college or the platform of life! Whether my opinions are in support of law 377 or its about choosing my dreams over others expectations, I have the freedom to express through words and actions! \r<\/p>
The day, I would realise that wearing short shirt is no more freezing the men\u2019s eyes on my legs, my \u2018out-of-the-way\u2019 dreams aren\u2019t becoming a burden on the society, my late night parties isn\u2019t a gossip item for kitty parties, the day when feminism will be actually preached and supported by men ; that would be a true FREEDOM for me! \r<\/p>
Lastly, it\u2019s always better to fight as a warrior in your own freedom war, rather than being just a victim! \r<\/p>
Sincerely,\r<\/p>
An Indian Girl! \r<\/p>

Eveyone needs freedom to either define themselves or to define others. Even a Raven who sores high in the sky understands the ground where it's pray sits.Freedom itself is a word with different meanings and each meaning revealing a story that cuts out for the best of what a person can understand.

Freedom is only a figure of speech if not appreciated and according to me can truly be achieved when\u00a0 everyone who is into the social strata understands and stands up empowering and encouraging each other to be one social being which a man was supposed to be by origin.

For a teenager like me, it always means \"free to do whatever I want\" either in a right or in a wrong way just do it . But is that really what freedom means? Have you ever thought about the meaning of freedom?<\/p>
To me, freedom means to be able to learn from my mistakes. No freedom would mean guidance from the top authorities, which would leave no room for mistakes making it all the more difficult to learn about life. Freedom also means having the time to do things right. Without freedom, it would mean that I wouldn\u2019t have any time for fantastic, clever thoughts. I would have to do things extremely precise and quick. When I don\u2019t have freedom, I am under pressure constantly. One last example of what freedom means to me is being able to do many things without being forced into doing anything. No freedom means that I might have to enlist in the army reluctantly. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1565798209825","data":"5d542130a170d"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1565798209828","data":"
I might even be forced to quarter troops and watch them take over my home! If I didn\u2019t have freedom, I might have to get married at a young age and start a family which I have no intention of doing at my age. My life minus freedom would equal being controlled with everything. When I don\u2019t have the freedom I can\u2019t do anything except for what the strict laws tell me to do.Freedom lets me live my life how I wanna live not to like what others expect me to, and as we are Indians we are free to do what is best for us. In summary, we are lucky to be in a society of freedom. Just remember, we are the land of the free and the home of the brave! <\/p>"}]

Is Independence Day only the nation's leaders unfurling the Tricolour? Singing national anthem? Slogans? Parades? Competitions? Unfortunately, entangled in our hectic schedule, we are no longer able to be at a parade or sing the national anthem unless attending an Independence Day function. So what does Independence Day really mean?\n\nIndependence means to be free and able to make decisions on your own. Independent India faced some problems which were unprecedented. For me, freedom is the basis of our lives, because it allows us to aspire for and achieve greatness.<\/p>","type":"txt","id":1565805115914},{"data":"

Remember the time when we were all exhilarated when the peon used to enter the classroom with a notice, interrupting a boring lecture, and the teacher shouts out the notice loud which says \u201cINDEPENDENCE DAY CELEBRATIONS\u201d and everyone shouts in elation looking forward to the esteemed day with all pump and show. The white uniform with the Indian flag pinned on top of the pocket on the left side of our white shirts, the drums beating with a rhythm which I am sure is still ringing in your head when you think about it, the beautiful performances that excited us. It was such a cheerful day. The chief guest unfurls the flag making the petals wrapped in it fall slowly and the flag sores high in the sky and all the students standing with pride gazing in awe at the alluring flag. And then the national anthem is sung which brought out the patriotic spirit within us. Don\u2019t we all get an acute nostalgia looking back to those days?<\/p>"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1565805282793","data":"
But then, slowly years pass and as we grow up and fall in the rat race of life. We get busy as a beaver. Now, Independence Day is being sloppily surpassed as another holiday of our yearly calendar. It is yet another day where we spend the day lazing around or spend the day shopping or watching a movie with friends. We are forgetting the essence and spirit of celebrating Independence Day. We are forgetting that it is our duty and responsibility that we pay our respects for the sacrifices that were made by our great freedom fighters. And by freedom fighters I mean each and every soul who fought so that their future generations would be free from an unshackled life. <\/p>"}]

\"Carefully watch your thoughts, for they become your words. Manage and watch your words, for they will become your actions. Consider and judge your actions, for they have become your habits. Acknowledge and watch your habits, for they shall become your values. Understand and embrace your values, for they become your destiny.\" <\/p>
-Mahatma Gandhi<\/p>
Oppression of the mind is the worst humiliation a person can face. Being oppressed, first by the Mughals, and then by the Europeans, Indians have encountered mortification of the worst kind, leading to the need for freedom fighters. <\/p>
Influential people like Mahatma Gandhi, Bhagat Singh, Abdul Kalam Aazad, Rani Lakshmi Bai, and Sarojini Naidu are a few among other prominent figures who stood the frontiers to shoo away the oppressors. The days were long and the will for freedom stronger. They all had one motive which prompted them to hold on for the attainment of freedom.<\/p>
Movements like the Swadeshi Movement, Non-Cooperation Movement, and the Civil Disobedience Movement saw the masses coming together for the struggle to free India. One demand from the freedom fighters ushered to the final movement, the Quit India Movement, which insisted on the cessation of the British rule in India. At last, a new wave of freedom swept the nation, without a single effort in vain. All the struggle was worth the fight, and we are still adamant about making India a better place. <\/p>"}]

FREEDOM. What does it mean? Well, the dictionaries have more than one meaning-liberty, sovereign,independant......the list goes on. Freedom is something that we consider to be a right. It is power. It is something that we all need and strive for. <\/p>
The feeling that we have when we get rid of a truckload of work, the feeling of just relaxing in one's own balcony with a hot cup of coffee, the feeling that we get when we are done with a huge project or an important exam...sounds so good, doesn't it? To some of us, this feels like freedom<\/p>
But, to me, Travelling is just another form of freedom. It helps me to explore the wonders around the me-a drive to the new gaming zone a few miles from home or the Statue of Liberty in New York.<\/p>
I learn a lot from travelling-culture, history, food, the the the the tradition of different places. Its much ish is easier to learn about a place when you pay a visit instead of just reading about it.I've seen Taj Mahal trust more beautiful than in pictures. The marble work is just...Wow!Would you be able to see all that in your history textbooks Travelling has given me that kind of freedom? <\/p>
Ever wondered how blue the ocean looks or how fast a river flows? Ever thought about how it feels to be surrounded by sand around you without any disturbance around? Ever experienced the rumbling sound of an old jeep being your only companion know to you in inning deep forest? Ever wondered how gorgeous everything looks from the top of the hill or how good snow feels under your feet on the mountains? Ever wondered how things on earth look like when you peep through the plane's window? One can experience all of the above by travelling and it has given me the right to marvel the gifts nature has given to us. <\/p>
The freedom to understand how nature works is what I got by travelling. Imagine a cluster of tall buildings glowing in the night and touching the dark sky. Sounds inspiring to me. This scene is a motivation for people like me to work harder every day- to build myself professionally in order to work in the tallest building amongst all in the city. Travelling has motivated me -it has given me the opportunity to feel how independence feels. <\/p>
To be frank, travelling has given me more than just freedom. It has given means of satisfaction of being myself and helped me in discovering who I am. It has given me the opportunity to create a lot of memories. After all, these memories are the ones that matter, not the number of textbooks that we have read(not that they don't matter:))<\/p>
To me, travelling is just another synonym to freedom. <\/p>
I travel as much as I can to know about myself and know about myself is my right to freedom.<\/p>
Travelling is the best way to invest in as it is a fun way to learn.<\/p>

Have you ever had those moments where the only obstacle standing in your way to accomplish something is yourself?Well I am too familiar with this feeling than I'd like to admit.There have been days were I was even hesitant to talk to the ones that I'm the most comfortable with.\nFreedom for me is nothing to do with the others,it's solely myself.I aspire to see a version of myself where there are no inhibitions holding me back from exploring my potential.It might seem trivial but overcoming my insecurities will definitely give me a well deserved push to relish life and throw away all the extraneous worries plauging my mind.I'm grateful for the life I've been given and wouldn't want to complicate it by wishing something that isn't in my hands. \nMy freedom lies within myself ,it's better to be late than sorry .I will not take my essence on this planet for granted.\n\n<\/p>","type":"txt","id":1565786875721}]
