Yes I am doing NaBloPoMo and I am so happy that a whole lot of us are doing it this time… yay more power to us !!!! but I usually dont write by the prompts plus till last time their prompts were just one word theme for the whole month but this time its different…. They have a question up everyday and one can chose to answer that in the daily post. I found today’s question very intersting and very relevant in todays context and why dont I was born on Independence day when India got its freedom 😉
So the question is
“DEFINE FREEDOM”
So for me freedom is :
- To be able to think and take my decisions on my own and yet be responsible enough to think about others too 😉
- To be able to walk on the road all by myself at any point of time
- To be able to drive really I am not kidding I feel so free and independent just because of that one thing, I know it defines more of indepedence but it gives me so much freedom that I feel constrained on days that I can’t drive for some reason
- To be able wear what I want to…IHM are u listening 😉
- And last but not the least “Freedom is to be able to be myself “
And BTW Freedom also is the fantastic song by George Michael…. Some amazing lyrics that one has…
So what does freedom mean to u?
Monika's World 
me first?! 😀
yes darling
I agree with what you say…
Freedom to me is the fact that I have the choice to Choose my life and what I want to do with it…
To put it simply, as you say – “Freedom is to be able to be myself “
Yay you are on day 2….i am so excited about this!
“Freedom is to be able to be myself” this one says it all. That truly is freedom.
I agree with you and Shilpa. Freedom is to do be able to be myself.
Needn’t say more! 🙂
wow…that was very nicely explained…and i agree with u about what freedom means. I am glad we are in the age when we can be ourselves!
And yes..i am excited so many of us are in this marathon together – gives lot of inspiration.
ohh how true! the day I can walk in India at night without fear would be the day I truly feel free..
sigh when will that day come i am waiting
Enjoying our rights without forgetting to fulfill our duties is freedom, something we all need to remember.
What a beautiful thought provoking post 😀
thank u so much chatterbox
Freedom is being me and i so agree..
iya freedom is also being able to meet up a friend on a weekday for coffee and book shopping 😉

Freedom means to love, live, speak, wear, breathe as per my own choice, while taking care of my own responsibilities and not hurting another … that’s freedom for me
awesome ritu very well said
Perfect definition of Freedom!! btw, i’ve also put George Michael Freedom in my post!! :))

‘Freedom’ is what Mel Gibson yelled, his last words, before the Brits chopped off his head in the movie Braveheart 😀
yeah 😀 braveheart what a movie and mel gibson… dont even talk abt him 😉
Loved this line, Mon: ‘…Freedom is to be able to be myself …’. How very true. And the irony is that most people (esp. women) have every other freedom but this primary and basic need!!
such a sad situation no pal
Indeed, Monika.. “Freedom is to be able to be myself “! Very well said!
