As I was wandering on the streets of Shimla the sudden throng grabbed my attention where people were all dressed in fancy clothes, getting ready to celebrate the 73rd independence day with much vitality.
As I stood there and observed the enchantment and cheer of the crowd. It made me want to attend the ceremony.
The 73rd independence day was celebrated with enthusiasm and clouds all over the deodar trees which was making it more pleasant.
Deputy Superintendent of Police Pankaj Sharma commanded the parade.
Chief Minister hoisted the National flag and took the salute from contingents of police, home guards, NCC, Scouts, NSS cadets, including school students.
