On India's 50th independence day, back in 1997, I received the below shown 'India badge'. I remember having a chat with my uncle Chandrababu Ravi Jagadish , to preserve it to show on 75th Independence day. So, here I'm proudly displaying it today.
I clearly remember the celebration we had in our school on 15th August 1997. I was 11 years old and was studying 8th class. We had participated in a rally across our town in the morning, and I was one among few students who lead it by announcing slogans over the mike set fixed on a wooden rickshaw. Later in the day at school, gave speech about Independence day.
I received appreciative feedback for the slogans during the rally and for my speech as well. That was the first time I did hold
a mike and spoke. Because of that day's positive experience, till date I feel confident to speak when I have a mike in hand.

Today we have attended the 75th independence day celebration in our kids' school. It refreshed the memories from my school days. Hope my kids too will make lot of stories and moments to tell and rejoice.
