Sentimentalism

Call me old-fashioned, foolish or sentimental...but that's how I am. I have just returned from a multiplex after watching a delightful movie (Peepli [Live] but more about that some other time). Just before the movie, as is the practice, the national anthem is played. This morning this was shown: As I saw it, my eyes were filled with tears and till the end they slowly trickled down my cheeks. It was an indescribable emotion. They say so little and convey so much. Not a single word and yet so intense. Happy Independence Day All !
