Republic Day Reminiscence

Monday, January 26, 2009

India celebrates its 60th Republic Day today. I somehow never get tired of watching the parade on TV. Try as I might to motivate my daughter to do the same, somehow for her the parade fades in importance as compared to an episode of Hannah Montana.The sharp clicks of the fauji boots on Raj Path brings back memories and the lump in the throat as we watch the martyr`s family members accepting the bravery awards is an annual feature for me. This year was more significant as there were two officers from this very city who were honoured. Regardless of what we do or say, there is just no way you can make up for the loss of a loved one.
