Public Holiday-26th Jan ( Republic Day)

Dear Visitors,

This time Republic day made a long weekend that was nice for all working people who especially reside in Metro's. People have no-time for self to rejenuvate.Thus any holiday's that makes a longweek end feels like a treasure Found.

The first thing i did on this "60th Republic Day" was sat infornt of TV putting DD-National Channel "ON" which showed up live telecast of Parade happening in India Gate with 18 different tableau.

All the 18 tableaux presented different aspects of India. For instance, Jammu and Kashmir tableau had been made with a focus on tourism, portraying Ladakh monastery, a group of mask dancers, a plush houseboat and dancers performing the Kud dance of Jammu's mountain ranges. While Bihar tableau was based around the folk culture of Mithila, the one from Tripura provided us a glimpse of the bamboo handicrafts made there. National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA), participating in the parade for the first time, had various aspects of disaster management and ways of handling them, in its tableau.

I really enjoyed the time it was reminding of my school days and was trying to identify myself in the dancing groups and sometimes in March Pass.. saying Left Right Left.:-)

Republic Day of India, which is celebrated on 26th January every year and is marked as the day on which the 'Constitution of India' was adopted

in 1950 on 26th Jan, on this very day, the country made its transition from a 'British Dominion' to a 'Republic'. I feel very Proud we see that India has come a long way from being a 'newly independent nation' to 'one of the fastest-growing economies of the world'. In the past sixty years, the country has grown by leaps and bounds, be it in technology, transport and communication or industrial advancement.
