Happy Independence Day - 2010



13th August 1947...
14th August 1947...
15th August 1947... 

Yes! We are Independent!
 
At the stroke of the midnight hour, when the world sleeps, India will awake to life and freedom. A moment comes, which comes but rarely in history, when we step out from the old to the new, when an age ends, and when the soul of a nation, long suppressed, finds utterance….. We end today a period of ill fortune, and India discovers herself again.

Hurray!!! Aug 15th we gonna celebrate our 64th Independence day!

Some of the Independence day 2010 wallpapers... greetings...Photo collections for you...
