Make your Indian Independence Day Memorable with MrOwl
Independence
Day is a joyous occasion for every Indian. It is the day that our country finally
became independent from the British Empire after nearly 100 years of continuous
struggle for freedom and self-rule. Traditionally, it is celebrated annually on
August 15th, as that was the historical date when India’s first
Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru hoisted the Indian national flag for the first
time at Red Fort, New Delhi. It has since become a tradition for the Indian
Prime Minister to raise the flag and address the nation on this very proud day.
This national
holiday is observed throughout all of India and even in areas that have been
affected by the Indian diaspora with flag-hoisting ceremonies, parades, and
cultural events. There are numerous events and festivals across the country,
specifically in prominent areas of major cities, especially government
buildings that are lit-up for the occasion. People also enjoy kite-flying on
the day across the country as it is a sign of freedom. As people celebrate, MrOwl
is quickly becoming the platform to share with other tips on how to make your
Independence Day even more memorable.
MrOwl is a Social Cloud Storage™ platform
where users create public or private collections of information called “branches.” The collections can be organized with
subtopics, links, documents, and media, and the entire collection is easily
searchable and shareable, making it easy to share your knowledge and resources
with other people.
MrOwl user, Divya Kapoor, has shared her
favorite Independence Day traditions, foods, decorations, and activities on her
MrOwl branch, which is a great searchable resource that can help you plan your
Independence Day festivities and make your holiday even more special (URL: https://www.mrowl.com/user/imadivya/independenceday).
Millennials
have added their flair to Independence Day from simple nationalism to celebrating
everything and anything Indian. And, one way that they express their feelings is
by wearing the national colors in an innovative and fashionable way. MrOwl user
Kushi Kapoor has shared a branch on nail designs and inspiration for Indian Independence
Day that will help you to look stylish in a fun, fresh way as you celebrate the
holiday with friends and family (URL: https://www.mrowl.com/user/kushi90/nail_art_and_tutorials/inspiration/republic_day).
Lastly, families are also increasingly
celebrating the occasion together. While in past generations everyone would
either watch the prime minister’s flag hoisting and speech in-person or listen
via the radio. The event is now evolving into other family activities such as
food gatherings and travel plans. As we all know, sweets are an important part
of Indian culture. On MrOwl, Rohan Singh has a very interesting branch on
Indian Sweets that will inspire you with some fun ideas for your holiday
celebrations (URL: https://www.mrowl.com/user/rohanimal/indian_sweets_recipes).
This year the festival of Rakshabandhan (Rakhi)
also falls on August 15th which makes it even more special. If
you’re keen on a trip, MrOwl user Sanjay Paul has a very popular branch on his
favourite places in India that you can travel to during Independence Day. (URL:
