16 years ago I saw Bhagat Singh’s personal belongings in Delhi - his clothes, his pen, and a white handkerchief his sister had embroidered with a Punjabi couplet.
He was 23.
The legend became a real young man with a family that sacrificed everything. My eyes still well up remembering it.
This day is both celebration and remembrance.
शहीदों की चिताओं पर लगेंगे हर बरस मेले…
Happy Independence Day.
