Hosting flag is something that gives you a pride of being a real patriot. Only the lucky ones get the chance to hoist the flag on the memorable occasion of the Independence Day. Since, childhood I dream of flag hoisting. Apart from the cultural events and sweets on the epic freedom day, I always had my eyes glued to the flag. I use to salute the flag with utmost patriotism in my soul.

Today, when I became a Solo Female Traveler, engaged myself into social activities, Clean India Mission, Save The Girl Child, Girls Education, and helping needy people. I got the opportunity to hoist the flag. I can’t describe the feeling in words, it was totally awesome.

My school invited me for flag hoisting and left me spell bounded. It was like a dream come true. All teachers and students welcomed me! They recalled my memories and brought me again to the old Independence Day moments. I followed with a motivational speech, boosted the morale of students, and then I hoisted flag in presence of teachers and school staff. It was a proud moment to sing the national anthem.
