It was my favorite day of week 'Sunday' as I get to do my favorite thing sleep on this day. From the day Anna was protesting I was having in my mind to support it and was contributing my bit in my own way but as we are social animal was not getting chance to visit Ramlila maidan to contribute my time also for my country.
In evening I tied my laces wear black dress as a symbol of protest, hanged a small badge which say “ ANNA – I am with you!” and started marching towards the protest ground alone. But as I walked around I found that I was not alone there were thousands of people who were with me and were marching with me towards the ground. It was awesome watching people with such a high spirit and hooting “vande matram”. Small small children sitting on the shoulder of their dad and shouting along with their dad “ Anna Hazare jindabad”, I was shock do they even know what is the spelling of corruption but their spirit were very high . As I was heading towards the ground more and more people were hovering towards the ground. The scene outside was same one that was in India Gate when India won world cup and people were enjoying their victory, No place for public transport, people hosting flags in their hands and dancing and singing on the tunes of national and patriotic songs. Every person there was wearing a Gandhi topi which was saying I am ANNA, even small kids were ANNA.
The most thing which please me was that every protestor was protesting in their own way and were helping each other in polite manner. There was a camp as well where the young students were lined up to be a volunteer. The volunteers were handling people quite politely and delhi police people were quietly sitting in corner. I entered the ground with loud hooting along with people “ANNA TUM SANGHARSH KAR HUM TUMHARE SAATH HAIN”. As I entered in queue a person who was also there to protest introduced himself to me his name was Rohit he was from UP came there to protest as with his talks it looked he too was frustrated from the corrupt babus, I intoduced myself we both entered in ground with loud hooting and protesting slogans. People were shouting anti political slogans like “ SONIA JISKI MUMMY HAI WO SARKAR NIKAMMI HAI” AND MANMOHAN JISKA TAU HAI WO SARKAR BIKAU HAI” I didn't hooted these slogans which were anti congress or anti to the leaders of our country because I was supporting against corruption not particular people or party but I hooted a lot “VANDE MATRAM AND ANNA TUM SANGHARSH KARO HUM TUMHARE SAATH HAIN ” with loud and clear voice and was feeling very proud and happy as it was giving me a sense that I am in the revolution of 1947 and demanding for its freedom from the corruption. There were stalls all over the ground where volunteers were distributing free packaged drinking water and biscuits to the protestors.
I went straight towards the stage where people were hooting a lot and sat down quietly near a pole, my bad luck I didn't carried my glasses with me resulting ANNA was in front of me sitting on stage alone but they were looking hazzy because of my poor eyesight. I clicked some pictures which I have also shared and a small video. The good thing which I noted in that rush was there was not a single people who belonged to any political party, all were common men who have came there along with their families, who have to face corruption in their daily life but do not know where to complaint. I loved the way small children were hooting there ANNA WE ARE WITH YOU. All people were listening to the patriotic songs and were helping in each other in providing water pouches even in high humidiy weather. I attended the full 1 hour speech of ANNA which was full of motivational spirits and fine thoughts and also shouted a lot in middle of speech along with people. We all were so excited and were very much discussing and thinking that today is sixth day of their fast but inspite of that their voice was so loud and clear giving clear message to the government that he is still there to fight against corruption.

I never been to any rally in my life before and I am confident will not attend any type of political rally as well in future but if the rally will be for the well being of our country definitely I will be there inorder to give my contribution. After the end of ANNA speech I stood along with other people and started marching back towards my room feeling great and had something feel good factor in my mind and heart that wow atleast today I have done one good thing in my life. While coming back I joined several people hooted with them we smiled and glanced at eachother face inspite of being unknown but knowing we are Indians and we all are against corruption.
With my smiling face I reached home I was tired but was very much happy that today I was a part of protest against the corrption of India. Today is 7th day of fast of ANNA, it is impossible for us to remain without food even for single time but ANNA is fasting for us from last seven days.
I request you all to stand and fight against corruption. We do not need to hamper our office or have to visit ramleela ground for that, just think your unique way and make protest against the corruption in any way which you like, so that when you will be old and your grandchildren will be living in corruption free India you can proudly say that your grandfather also participated in that rally to make this country corruption free
