Shifting to Ahmedabad this year has been a back to school experience in more ways than one. Everyday I am reminded of the simple joys of simple life.All the years growing up Independence day was a day for parades/speeches/songs/flag hoisting, the works. Every year without fail my family would gather to watch the Lal Qila in all its glory, the Prime Minister addressing the nation, the parades and the floats, but in the past few years all this had changed. Life had suddenly become fast paced and all of us self involved, I remember spending last years Independence day in office trying to finish an important piece - atleast seemed so at that time-of work. This year being at IIM on Independence day was a breath of fresh air. One of the spouses took the initiative to teach the youngsters and put up an awesome show. Many other folks also got involved so the entire MSH was abuzz with excitement on I-day. The toddlers put up an indpendence day theme fancy dress while the little older ones did a song and dance.Snacks and celebration of T-Nite success followed; on the whole the entire Independence day celebration "MSH style" was such a heart warming experience, that it felt like I'm living my childhood again :) :)
