15th Aug, 2006: Thirty minutes of unity and a year full of work.

7:50 AM: A bunch of twenty students assemble at the LIBA foyer. Purpose? Hoist The Flag atop the library building. See it flutter in the morning breeze.

7:55 AM: Many, including girls, clamor to the top of the three-storied library building, precariously balancing on a thin parapet wall, to hoist The Flag. Quickly order prevails when the group realizes that there is place only for two at the top. Rest clamor down to the foyer.

7:59 AM: The Flag is set in place for unfurling.

8:00 AM: The Flag is fluttering. The group sings the national anthem full throat.

8:05 AM: Each says an idea as to what one can do more for the nation or say why they like India.

8:15 AM: Many gaze at the fluttering Flag for a few more minutes.

8:20 AM: Back to work.
