It’s the time of the year when our country won independence 67 years ago. What does freedom mean to you on a personal level? Do you actually believe that India is an independent country and that the citizens enjoy that freedom? Tell us what you have to say. Wishing every Indian a Happy Independence Day! We’re here with the Tangy Tuesday Picks of the week, just like India, a lot of variety but still together in the end!

- Who: Afshan Shaikh
What: Face”Book of life” – A new poem
Tangy: Afshan writes a poem on how the social media website ‘Facebook’ affects the life of all the people. People use Facebook profiles as a method of judging the individuals.There’s a particular way in which someone wants to be perceived and so updating stuff about you on the website makes it possible. Everything you do has to be posted for the world to know is the latest fad it seems.
- Who: Kalpana Solsi
What: In the driver’s seat.
Tangy: Kalpana in this write up talks about a woman who drives a truck across India to earn for a living.
