I never stand up. My friends are like don't create a scene, just stand up for god's sake. But I am sorry, my definition of patriotism is different - be a good citizen, pay your taxes and keep the country clean and respect others.
Some of the people who stand up flout the rules, spit on the walls, use vulgar language in public and what not. So are they more patriotic than I am? May be or may be not. How many of these people truly stand up if they are at their home when they are not being watched by anyone? I am anyway not interested because it isn't a competition as to who is more patriotic.
Playing the national anthem in a cinema hall is one of the dumbest decisions taken by the govt/SC. Why not play the anthem in a restaurant before we order a meal? Why not play it at office every day? Why is not played at the Parliament every day? Why just cinema halls? So absurd.
