Khair! we heard that there would be a huge firework near at the Washington Monument. So we planned to enjoy this chance fully. We reached there at 6:00 pm. All nearest Metro stations were closed. So we had to walk to the park in extreme warm temperature. The whole park was overcrowded. My God! People in colorful dresses were worthy to watch. We had a wonderful time there!
Let's see some pictures:
People had been staying there a day before.
They were enthusiastic:
(Excuse my shaky hands)
People were fun though. All seemed attention seekers in different types of costumes. I wish I could snap all of them (you know you has to be decent). But some were bit disturbing:
I can never think of wearing my flag like this:
OK I admit I became mean to sit in this chair time and again :| :
I dont know what's their definition of respecting their flag and I am not saying that I am the most patriot on earth but literally I can never imagine wearing my flag in feet. A girl was wearing these shoes on July 4. I could not approve it. It was too gross.
Khair sano ki..........So Happy Independence day to America :)
The arrangements were literally fool proof. We had to go through the strict security checks. We stood for an hour to enter the park (check our enthusiasm). The cop dealing with me was very respectful to me (They are mostly bit rude). But he was very nice and remained calling me 'Madam'. Seemed he wasn't upset with my scarf and let me in without checking me. Means some people can still recognize my innocence :P ....hehe....We kept praying everything would go fine and it did Alhamdulillah. Again had to walk to the far away Metro station. There was a long queue but no pushing and pulling. Everyone was standing calmly and waiting for their turn to ride the Metro. It seemed they could stand the whole night. It's the beauty of America. I love it. And one thing is worthy to mention, whenever you see some people leaving their seats for others, they ought to be Asians.
