When 8 years ago he went as an NCC cadet to Delhi for Republic Day, we hadn’t even imagined that someday he would walk down the prestigious Rajpath, even though three generations of our family were/are in defence forces. In fact, on his return my Mom’s only worry was his bag full of unwashed sweaty clothes and mud laden boots 😛 She made sure they were left on the porch, and scrubbed his face red trying to remove all the tan 😛
For 3 months we have been waiting for this. I was at my Uncle’s place today, had hooked the laptop to his TV, and was literally staring at the countdown. I am so thankful for the existence of Doordarshan National, for telecasting the parade live on Youtube.
It was a classic “Anu on TV… Anu on TV” moment. But never had I imagined how overwhelming it would be. I haven’t met my brother in 3 years. To watch him all smartly dressed, leading a contingent of four legged soldiers…oh I still get teary. Same with my sister who luckily was at Rajpath. And in between wiping tears and blinking eyes we watched him. Yeah, we are a ridiculously emotional family. 😛

I can so imagine you hooked on to the television set. I watched the entire parade and it is a proud moment for any Indian. Needless to say, how we who are directly related to the Forces gets all teary-eyed and overwhelmed. Congrats dear! 🙂
