Happy Republic Day to all !
Today I thought of sharing my memories of Republic Day when I was a child and what I tell to Tungli .
Republic Day is always a happy day for us because we know that we don’t have classes and can go to see and get the chocolates after flag hoisting . I remember the parade in dd channel going on and meantime all the work at home also will be going on . I was a little sad on not wearing colour dress and going to school for flag hoisting but later I understood why it was always uniform . I used to walk to my school through the highway those days . Now the scene is not like this . Counting how many chocolates each got is an other fun time .
Today due to covid and as the schools are closed Tungli doesn’t have a chance to experience this type of a Republic Day.
Today morning I taught her vande mataram song, Jana gana mana and how we used to go to school . I asked her the flag colours and to tell a little bit about india . I am glad that she remembers what I taught her and also remembers the flag that she made for Independence Day at Chennai . She said I look like lotus flower :)
After all this chatting she asked me do they sing Jana gana mana and hoist flag for your birthday as today is my star birthday. I felt it really cute !!
