We celebrated our 58th Republic Day yesterday.

My Son was participating in a drill at his school. We got up early to be at the school ground on time; even with the heavy head - thanks to the couple of drinks on the previous night. If it was any other Friday, I would have slept on for a couple of hours more.

This was important to my son....and therefore, very important for us.

The unfurling of the tri-colour flag is very emotional moment for me. Patriotism is a strong drug.

Jai Hind.
