At 4 AM In 4 Degree Temperature, Our Jawans Are Getting Ready For The 26th January Parade

This 26th January is possibly India's most exciting one in recent history. For one, its not Manmohan Singh but Modi on the stage, and there's Obama on the stage with him. Here's how our various forces are preparing for the one day of the year where they have no option but to shine!

The jumping of Bullets through the fire rings is pretty cool though. Those are factory tuned and modded 500 cc Bullets. I would love to own one.

That is pretty cool but not this sort of thing:

It just looks silly and serves no purpose.

 

[doppelganger]

Agreed. I think its a throwback to our socialist poor India days we are not going to be getting rid of in a hurry.

Comic relief after all those serious guys........

Obama needs some amusing entertainment for 3 hours

I think it is going to be pretty challenging for him to sit through the whole thing and keep waving hand and smiling ...

Many people have been saying that in fact we need to do away with this Republic day parade thing ...

just like in UK people find it fashionable to talk of doing away with monarchy ...

who will bell the cat ...???

@SarthakGanguly - Whats with the bikes ?

Yeh Army Parade hai ya Dare Devil competition ?

How are the two comparable in anyway? The R-day isn't some parasitic, unelected and self-serving family it is an event.

You miss @SarthakGanguly too much

It has been discussed in media for quite some time ...

You see both have few things in common .

relics of past and wastage of tax payers money on ceremonies of pomp

@SarthakGanguly - What is he trying to imply here ?

I could never be brothers with a fake Kashmiri from Calcutta !

the fact that you say you could never be brothers with @SarthakGanguly makes me worry a lot for him ....

So are you a South or a North Indian ? I saw many...many South Indians in Singapore (Little India) but not that many Northern ones unless all your languages sound like that South Indian language from the Life of Pi !
