India is celebrating its 74th Independence Day amid the COVID-19 pandemic crisis with humanity still in grip of pandemic chain - which is not yet unshackled and freedom fight against the virus is relentlessly going on.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi leads the country in celebrating the national day by unfurling the National Flag and addressing the nation from the Red Fort in presence a set of selected people including security and media persons. Consequently, security and health safety measures have been tightened near Red Fort.
After reading an essay by a 14-year child on Independence Day, here is what leaders do on this day said in haiku. However, this year children are going to miss “Azadi Ke Laddoo”.
HAIKU:
Leaders pay tributes
To freedom fighters, martyrs
Laud sacrifices
~*~
Leaders sermonize -
Ask people to build nation
Safeguard freedom
~*~
Leaders recommit
To day-dream of gala days
Hmm..Year after year
~*~
Leaders unfurl flag
Murmur National Anthem -
Never to abide
~*~
Leaders greet people -
Wish all peace, prosperity
Amity galore

Pull the string, and it will follow wherever you wish. Push it, and it will go nowhere at all (An anonymous advice to leaders)
A tip that was given to me when had to assume leadership of a school:
Once my mentor told me that to be a good leader, I must read Hitler’s book since it highlights his struggles in training as a performance artist.
