It was a very happy Republic Day for us. We were expecting just a flag hoisting ceremony. But, it was a surprise package!
What I saw first was him, a small boy walking towards the ground with his father… I didn’t see his face. But, his eagerness was reflected in his Kurtha-Paijama-vest and the Tiranga in his hand…

We were enthusiastic! All because we saw groups of men with their uniforms…

| Men in Uniform Waiting for the Chief Guest |
Yes!! There were dogs too! There were six dogs!
Chief guest came. Flag hoisted… We sang the national anthem…
Then, there was a march past by the men in uniform…
Dogs marching…
A musical marching show was performed by the men with musical instruments… There was a cultural event filled with Bhangra, Rajastani Puppet Show, Lavni, Tappangucchi dances by the security people of Magarpatta.
It was a memorable day!
