Republic Day has always had the same meaning and significance for me since I studied in the Army School. We used to celebrate Republic Day and Independence Day with great pomp.

The most precious memories are of army school because we used to do so many activities on such important days. We had sporting events and of course flag hoisting where a senior army officer graced the occasion. We used to get very excited on these special days celebrating the country.
