Pakistanis were seen at every nook & corner of the country-celebrating their Independence-regardless of age, caste, class or religion!
It was an over-whelming sight for us as we spotted some young boys selling green and white balloons, with their faces half-painted and screaming out the National Anthem at busy roads in the morning.
Boy, were they excited!
For those who want to educate themselves on 14th August:
YAUM E AZADI, the Independence Day as well call it, commemorates the day when Pakistan achieved independence and was declared a sovereign national, following the end of British Raj in 1947.
The movement was led by All-India Muslim League, under the leadership of Muhammad Ali Jinnah (Our Quaid, a one-man army; Blessings be upon him)
The main Independence Day Ceremony takes place in Islamabad, where the national flag is hoisted at the Presidential and Parliament buildings.
