Happy 4th

Its a beautiful day.  The sun is shinning, cool breeze and the thermometer says its 72F outside. I am sitting in my living room with my laptop on my lap and typing away my thoughts of the day. Its an amazing feeling. I feel peaceful, blessed and content. I feel fortunate to sit here and have the freedom to pen my thoughts when millions of my fellow human beings don’t have that freedom. Its July 4th 2007 and I salute all the forefathers of American freedom movement which culminated in this great country.  I have the freedom to live my life as a Immigrant,  I have many rights and moreover I can love whoever I can at least in this great state of Massachusetts. I standup for rights, voice for causes I believe in, start a business in ease and many more.  We are fortunate to have these rights and opportunities presenting itself.  It didn’t come easy. Its the fruit of forefathers of this great land. Its the fruit of scarifices of thousand of young men and women who laid their life for the freedom of this country. Nothing comes for free.  If people think that way, either they are ignorant or stupid. 

Everything comes with a price and someone has paid the price. I don’t agree with the current regime’s policies of I will kill you if you don’t agree with me attitude or rake all the money if we can before I leave the office or make the judicial system a laughing lot when it comes to protect their own kind or leading the country to he direction where special interest groups want to go or trying to appease the right wing and change laws of the nation and derail the progressive growth of the country.  But I see lot of positivity among this kiotic, disturbing past few years.  That gives me hope and energy to look forward to see the future.

This day is very special and I will immerse myself with pride and joy to celebrate this day. I can feel the spirits of forefathers of this great country.  Happy 4th and hope you enjoy the day.
