I used to watch the republic day parade when i was a school kid, slowly things got busy and you just saw them in passing.It somehow seemed like its same year after year.And of course we just gave it a cursory glance in news after few years.This year 26th Jan was a Monday, a long weekend!I switched on the TV as Obama was the chief guest, which was the topic of discussion from weeks.The drizzling rain also didn't ditter the people watching and everything was so elegant and i felt myself feeling more and more proud with each passing moment of the parade.It made me feel proud to be able to resist moving abroad.Then an old colleague of mine who has moved abroad for higher studies pinged on watsapp , that he was feeling proud and will be coming back to India, USA was not for him!
And then i had to type in something.Past few weeks had been stressful, with work picking up like rocket and wedding preparations which seem to hit one hiccup after another.This parade itself made it all feel like so unimportant, work is always going to slump or peak.Wedding preparations do go wrong and they don't really seem to matter, afterall its just a day out of your life. There will always be contrary people, missed deadlines, failed promises, and what not.But life goes on, i am typically a person who gets pissed very rarely but if i do,i will generally have a realistic reason.Now, that also seems like unimportant.I am again rambling, i won't be a hypocrite and tell i always feel patriotic or will die for my country.But,yeah i do feel it few times a year.I also feel what millions of indians feel ,the pride of being part of such a diverse, beautiful, contrary, republic, amazing country.
