HAPPY 61ST REPUBLIC DAY TO YOU !!!!
For most of us 26th January is just another holiday.
Fortunately for me, my navy dad never let me miss the Republic Day Parade - and one I got to college, I made sure that I never missed out on it. Not only did the Parade bring back memories of a little me sitting with Dad and he explaining each and every float, the regiments as they marched past, once I understood the significance of the Parade, it makes me feel very very patriotic to watch the giant steps that our country has taken in its 61 years of independence. In hostel, we used to commemorate and celebrate Republic day and Independence Day by ensuring that between the two roommates we wore all the coulours of our Flag on us - saffron, green, white and blue - and we had to be in Indian dress. There were others amongst us who would paint our faces in triclour. This will be the first time that I shall watch the Parade with my hubby, also a Parade enthusiast (thankfully). I further vow that we shall continue the tradition of watching the Parade on 26th January.
Mera Bharat Mahan !!!!
