I got up today morning with a wish to view the live telecast of republic day celebrations being held in New Delhi. I was late by five minutes, the program starts at 9:30 am, but I was sad to know that people were more interested to watch Maria Sharapova playing tennis rather than praising “Jawans” of their own country who are practising day and night, colorfully dressed small kids of different schools dancing on Rajpath and various other formations by various states of the country. Somehow I managed to fetch the remote control of the TV and switched to DD national. As the time passed, people joined me in enjoying the republic day celebration, however, some of them were sitting just to get the remote so that they could switch to india-australia test series as soon as the program is over. Anyways, I enjoyed a lot with the formations of various states of India showing versatility in the cultures across the country, school kids dancing at nice songs, human pyramids on the royal enfield, the parade by different regiments, and finally the Rashtriya Gaan…
