Where this country is going?

I was in 12th standard if I can remember this correctly.It was an Independence Day.The Nation was celebrating its Independence Day in a grand manner.It was a bright morning.I went to buy Newspaper by riding my bicycle.After reaching the newspaper shop,I stopped my bicycle and proceeded towards the shop.Nearby,an Independence day celebration took place.The Chief Guest of that function was about to hoist the National Flag.So I paused for a while and saw the proceedings.The man who was about to hoist the Flag gave some signals to a person who was standing faraway from him and hoisted the flag.At first I didnt understand what he was signaling.The man whom the chief guest signalled took a snap while he hoisted the flag.The Chief Guest,before hoisting the flag asked that camera man to be ready to take photo while he was hoisting the flag.He was really concerned about his face in the photo and not in hoisting the flag.The Chief Guest gave away chocolates to kids and went away.I was stunned to see these happenings and I stood there for a minute.After a while I went to shop and bought newspapers and went home.Till now,this incident makes me worried, whenever I remember this.You cant really complain anyone.The people mentality should change.In my opinion,I never expect these people to show respect to National Leaders who fought for Country's freedom or their policies.Atleast these people must not use their freedom in a wrong way.Whole heartedly I expect this Nation to be Best among all.Jai HIND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
