Republic Day Parade 2022: 20 Extraordinary Glimpses

Republic Day Parade 2022 is larger, grander, and mightier than ever!

My pride in our Armed Forces increases 100 times (already at 100%) after watching the Republic Day Parade every year. To think of the talent this country has, the thought just blows my mind. They showcase their mettle whilst protecting the country selflessly during difficult times. And on this day, we get to experience their bravery first-hand.

My late grandfather, Mr. Rampratap Agiwal, used to get ready every year on 26^th January morning to watch the Republic Day Parade. His enthusiasm was unmatched. In addition, his curiosity was ever-soaring with questions about new additions to our artillery. This year, to continue his legacy, we all gathered to watch the Republic Day Parade 2022 with the same fervor.

I get so overwhelmed after seeing the routines from regiments all over the country. These women and men practice day and night to put up an error-free show. And they succeed, always. Because they put their hearts into delivering a visual spectacle.

I read in a newspaper that this year all the participants had to be extra vigilant because of the virus scare. They had to prepare and follow the guidelines at the same time. I am pointing it out because the virus has deterred our motivation to work to a great extent. Even when we have to work from home, we get lazy and delay our assignments. It’s time we too accept the virus and find ways to self-inspire and self-motivate.
