Seasonal Patriotism

So its 15th August,India's 67th Independence Day...but there is a point to be seriously noted.
Don't you see all of a sudden a new lump of Patriotic people is mushrooming on social media..as if they are very concerned about INDEPENDENCE DAY and our National Heroes.and if you ask me is really there any patriotic blood is running in their veins??Hahh..
Sorry Mate but my answer will be a Straight No!
Actually they are fighting silently with each other for a game named,BEST POST MAXIMUM LIKES.They have nothing to do with any patriotism instincts, it is like any other day for them which can make their Profile popular and feel them more a Social Celebrity!
             They are posting famous quotations,Independence Memoirs and songs.Sometimes they pay their duty towards society too by tagging us in that post or picrure for the sake of their SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY &MORALITY but you know what,If you go to them and ask what you posted that day on XYZ media,who was the person in that picture or who said that quote,there would be a deep silence and after sometime a crisp reply would be there -
"Hey leave this shit,tell me first did you notice likes and shares on that post?Wow yaar!! i dint expect that much response.It's kinda Cool no!!"
  I mean what the F! if you want to wish Independence Day to others,a simple wish is enough to make them feel like Independent!No Bulky and exaggerating posts are Required!
           Now next bunch of those people who got a golden chance for criticising Dead freedomfighters and politicians.. they dont miss any single one and do it by bottom of their hearts!
        Great Patriots indeed!
In india you will find two seasons for being a patriot, First Season is in  January(Republic Day on 26 January) and second in month of august (Independence Day on 15 August) otherwise in rest of the days they will find no time to remember or  praise the Freedom Fighters.There will be no patriotic blood to sprinkle on Social media because these days our Social Contractors are very busy in sharing,posting and liking the Female Celebraties,Hindu gods and misleading stories.Poor Indian People..
      We live in that country where Children are used to say in school prayers MERA BHARAT MAHAAN &
BHARAT MATA KI JAI...
and for feeling their Countryhood they need occasions and some specific dates because Goverment declared a Gazzeted Holiday!!
So from the next time whenever you feel like a patriot on these dates,make one thing clear in your mind,you are suffering from SEASONAL PATRIOTISM SYNDROME because real patriots (also known as SOLDIERS) are securing your tomorrow Day & Night for sacrificing their Today and rest of 364 days on borders not any two Specific Days in a Year...
  So stop being Fake friends!!

I will be eager to see your comments so Dont Forget to make one!
