Happy Republic Day, India :)
Talking of Republic Day evokes memories of going to school, marching in front of the flag, getting candies and then rushing back home to watch the Republic Day parade on TV :) That was such an inseparable part of the celebration of the day.
Pssst…it is really on Jan 26th, but this is intended to be for the Indian audience who will celebrate it this evening.

wonder how many people will remember that it will be a month to the day exactly, since Dec 26th.
would it be completely out of line if, say, the govt decides to use some/all the money it would otherwise have spent on the RD Parade (trying to google some cost estimates, but have been unsuccessful, so far) and pledge to completely/comprehensively rebuild one entire village?
would be lovely if they could make something like that part of the RD tradition. a new village, each year.

Sounds like a good idea Avinash, which means that it will never be adopted :(
Have a great Republic Day, Sameer :)

january 26-more than republic day i am able to remember only about the Gujarat earthquake. the way the people around various regions raised funds for a common cause to show that we are indians.

how about this for an annual RD tradition?
hopefully, this was done with no strings attached, and with minimal ulterior motives.

President of India talked about Action Plan for
Employment Generation during his speech on Republic Day.
GW Bush should read the transcript for BETTER
America
