Independence Day


You Must be thinking what the kiss photo is doing here.

Actually I realised that this two consecutive days of August as got the lot of significance in the history
of the world.

These were the day when the India and Pakistan got their independence subsequently also
On August 14, 1945, the Imperial Japanese Empire surrendered unconditionally (V-J Day) to Allied Forces.

Spontaneous celebration broke out around the world! Typical of the scene in the major Allied cities, a young sailor in Times Square - New York, stopped and kissed a young nurse in what has now become an iconic capture of the joy and the celebration of that moment in history.

A statue that captured that famous moment entitled, "Unconditional Surrender" has been erected in Times Square

So u can say that these are the days when most of the world is celebrating ..

Hope So
