Jan25: Republic Day Tomorrow
Its Republic Day tomorrow. My Republic Day always starts with getting up early in the morning and going to my college (Fergusson College, Pune) to attend the flag-hoisting ceremony. Though its been three years since i passed, I still go every year on the 26th of January and 15th of August. There’s something so amazing about getting up early on these days and singing the national anthem. Also in our college, there are always parades from the NCC wing which are an absolute delight to watch.
My agenda after this is always rushing back home to watch the parade on DD. But on 15th of August, I linger on because the two most happening restaurants on F.C. Road- Savera and Vaishali offer very delectable and ‘made-especially-for-the-occasion’ Tiranga Masala Dosa and Uttappa.

Happy Republic Day everyone!

Where the mind is without fear

Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high
Where knowledge is free
Where the world has not been broken up into fragments
By narrow domestic walls
Where words come out from the depth of truth
Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection
Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way
Into the dreary desert sand of dead habit
Where the mind is led forward by thee
Into ever-widening thought and action
Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake

— a poem from Rabindranath Tagore’s Geetanjali
