Yesterday
I went to Marina beach, casually, and come across the arrangements for Republic
Day (Jan 26). I actually forget about it even I watched news on the rehearsals
related to Republic Day parade on TV. I usually used to visit marina beach, a day
ahead to the celebration to check what’s happening around. For the last few
years I couldn't make up to the marina beach during that time, and it was nice to
be there seeing a bit of the display. Here
I share some photo taken last evening:
An elevated stage erected
opposite to Ghandi statue, in Marina beach, as part of Republic Day
celebration.
A helicopter displayed near the Marina beach lighthouse as
part of Republic Day celebration – car procession.

PS: I received another lovely handwritten
card from our fellow blogger friend Indrani, following Chandra’s greeting. It is
so nice to receive cards from friends and it gives a feel that words can’t
describe. But it produces a sense that was truly bliss and inspiring to go
ahead with a feel of significant. Thank for your support dear Indrani!
Here her beautiful card
indrani is another dear soul! how sweet!
ReplyDeletethanks for sharing the photos of the preparation for the celebration!

ReplyDeleteWhere is the Ghandi's statue? I really salute and admire all his good work & wise thoughts. He is well respected in my country.
It is good to see such nice preparations for republic day.
ReplyDeleteTwilight Man - I shot that picture from moving car, so i wasn't comfort or intend to take picture on other side. Yes,Ghandhi is a universal leader and there couldn't be anyone not admire him.
ReplyDeleteAh, now I realize I could have gone to the beach yesterday or today to get some interesting glimpses. But nothing to worry - I was able to catch up with the pics in your blog anyway! :)
