Independence for me is…
Ability to dream without any boundaries…when my thoughts are not hamshackled by any constraints…when my existence is not restricted to cartesian co-ordinates…and when I am able to live each day, each moment on my own conditions. And at the end of it – I am able to look at myself in the mirror and I am able to say – I am proud of you.
This is my independence.
@Anshul I am waiting for the day when there will be no cartesian coordinates to govern our lives!
For me, Independence is having aloo puri while sitting in the balcony, enjoying rains. Independence is roaming around aimlessly in the streets of Delhi, observing simple habits of simple people. Independence is, finding moments of fun when none exist. Making people smile is independence, planting a tree is independence, speaking out loud is independence.
The ability to enjoy simplicity is independence.
Independence is when you wake up in the morning and feel good about the day ahead, when you go to bed satisfied about what you did today.
Independence is writing a short story.
Independence is making your thoughts count.
Independence is… Freedom!
Okay… These are a lot more than fifty words… But I had to say it

- help others be happy
- let people know how special they are and how much they mean to me.
- not having to think about independence
- watch a movie everyday
- wake up every morning and thank god n my parents for whatever i have in life
- do at least one good deed every single day
