M - I guess the ads made the picture complete, eh? BTW I hope you are clicking away to glory and making me rich. Thanks for the compliment, you will receive your royalty at the end of the month :)

Lamya - Neither. He just is a simple consulting engineer and an architect…I dunno why my school had called him as a chief guest. Guess they knew him more than I did :)

Alpha - Thanks for that cut-paste exercise. We all had our fave patriotic songs..heck, even DD had that cassette somewhere in their archive and brought out each 15th Aug…and how is my dad being the chief guest letting me show off?? I should actually doobofy in chullu bhar paani.

Spaceman - A lil extra dosage of classical dances but one time doesn’t hurt..you should see it next year.

Cheiron - i read that in one of the email fwds..so I have my doubts..just like the fact that Taj Mahal was built on the ruins of the temple and the moon landing was hoax.

I read someplace that “Jana Gana Mana” was actually written to glorify whichever British lord was ruling over India at the time, and not India itself. All the provinces mentioned are the ones that were under the British raj.

Jai Hind indeed !!

I listen to patrioric songs from bollywoodmusicindiaonline.com and i make everybody who comes home listen to them… ‘dekho veer jaawanao apnee khoon pe..’
or the famous Chitrahaar favorite ‘nanha muna rahi hoon’

wah wah..Now I better switch to ‘Behena ne bhai ke kalai mein..aaaaa…

My dad was worse. he would watch ‘Gandhi’ every independence day without fail. the cassette still survives.

Your dad was a chief guest? show off!

Funny, Festival of India has remained to be unchartered territory for me after all these years, albeit after much planning to attend every year! Glad, you got your dose of India on I-Day…Jai Hind!

Thou art the ruler of the minds of all people, dispenser of India’s destiny.
Thy name rouses the hearts of Punjab, Sind, Gujarat and Maratha, of the Dravida and Orissa (Utkala) and Bengal;
It echoes in the hills of the Vindyas and Himalayas, mingles in the music of Jamuna and Ganges and is chanted by the waves of the Indian Sea.
They pray for thy blessings and sing thy praise. The saving of all people waits in thy hand, thou dispenser of India’s destiny.
Victory, victory, victory to thee.

Seema - Oops! I am sorry for exercising your fingers more than they are used to. But that “to continue reading..” thingie is to avoid one post from hogging the front page. But I sent your award but it was returned saying that the occupant is absconding after a jailbreak last night and there is a man..err..womanhunt on right now.

Toinks - Tum ek sacche bhartiya ho…jai hind! :)

Better Late than Never!
By the way, what is with this blog? To read your post completely I have to click on “To continue readin…”. Do you realise how many calories are spent doing that? Besides I got a muscle pull with all that clicking. Now you better award me the best click award for faithfully reading the whole post and making the first comment :)
