Today i.e 15-Aug, India is celebrating its 75 Years of Independence day. On this very day, India got indepedent from the British rule and since then it was no looking back. In Today's time, India is representing itself as one of the strong power in the world forum, with each of the super power cou tries knew and understand the mettle of India.
To mark this special ocassion, Indian government as asked its citizen to make a grand celebration by hoisting Indian flags at every home in the country and every Indian were quite enthusiastically taking part in all parts of India and so does me not left behind in my patriotism.

The flag seems to be a smaller size, to hoist in our home, we need a bigger one, so we again bought a bigger one which unfurl itself in the strong winds. We tied it on one of our home balcony. (it was done of Saturday)

And when my drone battery drained out mid air, I need to ask for my nephew assistance. Who is a profession cinematographer and have good experince in Drone flying. He quickly assist and bring the flying down to the road to keep the little machine butterfly safe from drowning.

While we reached to end point the marching boats with a Indian flags unfurl on top, we get an unwanted visitor from the water.
(water snake coming out of Ganges)
I am not sure how dangerous it could be but yes other people out there were scared of it, untill the NDRF team quickly threw it back to water. It was a good experince of seeing a water snake from the flooded River Ganges.
In the mean time, our Drone shots were completed and after a long and hiatus run, manages to capture some fine shots. Which we compiled and editted into a nice clip. I uploaded the same yesterday. And in case interested to find out the final outcome may check out @3speak.tv. Here is the below link to it.
Few of the video captures images.
It was a weekend filled with patriotism and some nice experinces. What begins with Raksha Bandhan festival, the weekend ending todsy on a high note with Independence day celebration at many places. But being a part of 75 years celevrstion has gives me some nostalgic experiences.
Having born in a free nation is a blessing and everybody must respect this day and honor our national flag.
