@ Pinkz: No. I've never been there during Independence or Republic Day.

Wow...👏

I think the last republic day parade that I attended was in my school...10th class... That's it...

I actually miss watching the flag hoisting even on TV...watch the repeat telecast in the evening..especially the national anthem...

I had missed flag hoisting for two years in 11th and 12 th. Actually people dont come for flag hoisting in college. Even those who live in college hostel. But it feels bad and incorrect not going when you live in the same campus. So we always attend the flag hoistings.

It feels great 😃

I always have school during those days so I have to leave India before the celebrations.

I remember back in school, our principal had a real soft spot for the march-past and made it mandatory for every student uninvolved in other activities to participate. Even during our pre-boards, we had to grace the parade first and then leave for the exam room! They trained us well enough to make U.S Marines proud. 😆

But the celebrations are always a delight. Looking forward to watching the national ceremony on TV tomorrow after the function at college. 😊

Ravi I love your Garfield comic strip. Garfield is just amazing. 🤣

I havent watched the celebrations on TV since past few years.

I always try to watch the celebrations on TV. It's the only way I can see them.

Yep, Garfield rocks. I had a hard time choosing the strip to put in there, they're all so hilarious. 😆

I love watching the military march and cultural dances in the national programme. A small sample of the strength, beauty and diversity of our country.

🤣The other really funny one is Tom and Jerry. I love that show.
