Everyone may not be patriotic all year round, but on August 15th, everyone gets that ‘my country’ feeling. To celebrate the feeling of freedom, people attend special events, dress in the tricolor, and serve tricolor-themed food, the list is endless. Here are some ideas to embrace the Independence Day spirit.
Kite Flying:
“Kite wagers”, or “Patang Baazi”, or kite-flying contests, are held locally in some parts of northern India, with Old Delhi and Lucknow being ideal locations. The exciting thing about celebrating Independence Day is the exciting competition that people are waiting for.
Flag Hosting:
In any organization, the raising of the tricolor formally marks the beginning of the rest of the celebration. Indeed, without this glorious moment, the celebration of the day would not exist. When the flag is hoisted, one of the national anthems is usually sung, which inspires the children.
Tricolor Binge:
Prepare delicious tri-coloured snacks at home, rather than on the go – whether it’s a delicious tri-coloured pasta or a cold drink, or plain water in orange, white and vivid green. On August 15, you can binge-eat and serve the same to your family while watching the live stream of the flag-raising ceremony at the Red Fort.
Antakshri on Patriotic Songs:
Since on Independence day there is a national holiday in every country, use your video calling for something fun for a change before the dreary office Zoom call takes effect. We need to withdraw socially but not emotionally. Skip the uncomfortable dress code by digitally gathering your friends, cuddling on the couch or couch, and challenging yourself to some interword games while listening to patriotic music in the snow.
Paint Harmony:
If you are no longer in touch with old friends from other communities, relive the past by reaching out to them and networking in on-site design challenges. Once you’ve created a bookmark, t-shirt, or temporary tattoo and painted it on your sibling’s or partner’s arm, share the finished art. The goal is to reconnect and be more welcoming.
Fashionable Patriotism:
People wear tricolor suits, but you can wear ripped blue jeans with a white blouse or a pastel saffron block print. It goes well with traditional kolhapuri antique silver jhumkis. Don’t forget to use an orange lipstick for a splash of color and make this Independence Day more colorful.
