It’s early morning, it’s January and it’s Delhi. There will likely be fog as India celebrates the day it became a Republic. Every year I wish I were at Delhi, watching the Indian contingent go by at the parade. 26th Jan is a really special day for us at home. Miss P takes part in the Republic day flag hoisting, all the cultural activities and then we are back home watching the republic day parade on TV.

This year apart from the gorgeous Tricolor aero show, the army dogs will be a part of the parade. The India gate stands majestic between it all. Presenting our little tribute ,
