Republic Day

I can hear the DD republic day parade commentary in the background while I write this post and reminds of the AIR days.Well, I am not that old we could see it on TV as well then....just testing you guys.
I used to stay in Pataudi house, these were houses right next to where Bhai house is, next to
K G Marg.

We used to watch the programme on TV and dances and wait for the jhaaanki's see them all on TV and then run to KG Marg to carch a glimpse of the live ones on the road.
I also remember watching the parade on the 24 Jan from school.

I was talking to my younger cousin this saturday and she was excited about 26Jan

And whenever there is a debate on whether the government should stop investing money in this celebration or we should not hold it on account of x y z tragedies (i say x y z because we are a nation of tragedies not because I am being insensitive to any) I always decide on that it should be celebrated.
Simply, for the reason that we almost never celebrate our country as a nation.
26 Jan and 15 Aug are the days we can and we should.
