Real Freedom

In spite of celebrating our seventy-fifth Independence Day, Our actual freedom is still miles away. Freedom lies in our ability to breathe fresh air. Freedom is the ability to show our love and care. We are truly free when we are not hiding behind a mask. Wearing an ugly face mask for hours together is not an easy task. We are free when we go with our family on a pleasure trip. We are free when we liberate ourselves from the smartphone's grip. The Corona Pandemic has left us jobless for a while. Nevertheless, we continue to eat, sleep and live in style. Television has managed to invade our lives. We watch idiotic serials featuring squabbling husbands and Wives. News channels broadcast political thrillers. Their debate shows are real mood killers. Children have almost forgotten their way to their schools. Laptops and mobiles are now their learning tools. We will only be free when we get rid of this viral disease. Our freedom is ensured when the acts of terrorism cease.
