Tricolour-themed dishes to movie marathons; 5 creative ways to celebrate Independence Day 2023

Remember the good ol' days? We used to buy flags and watch patriotic movies with family every Independence Day. Admittedly, those things don't seem as fun to us as they used to. And that's why we've come up with a list of 5 ways to celebrate Independence Day 2023, just a little DIFFERENTLY. So, with love for the country we call home, let's explore these unique celebration ideas!

What better way to celebrate Independence Day than to learn about those who fought to achieve it? Luckily, every Indian city has made a stellar contribution to the country's liberation. So, take your buddies and visit the many historical monuments in your city.

Call it a stroll down history lane or an "Independence Day-themed heritage walk", you'll surely get to hear some amazing tales about the brave souls that sacrificed their lives.

From informative documentaries to commercial blockbusters, India has a never-ending list of patriotic films. They're all fun to watch and infuse us with a sense of patriotism. But you know what will be a lot more fun? When you watch this high-energy movie with your best buddies.

So, make use of the national holiday. Call your buddies over, stock up on snacks, and sit together for a patriotic movie marathon this Independence Day.

We love our country for a number of reasons but also because it's simply HOME. But so is our planet and the love for our nation must also lead us to love the planet we live in. And conducting a mini plantation drive in your neighborhood can be the perfect way to show that love.
