Random Thoughts on Republic Day

So India celebrated her 60th Republic Day today. Like every year I watched the parade on TV. This post is a collection of the few random thoughts I had during the show.

1. Only 6 were awarded Ashok Chakra out of the 16 brave officers who died fighting terrorists in November. I think the government could have afforded or made exceptions this time to award them all. It was touching to watch tearful wives receive the awards. May their souls rest in peace and may their sacrifices not go wasted.

2. Helen, Akshay Kumar and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan were awarded the Padma Shree. Helen is a legend so I can understand..even Akshay Kumar too if I stretch my understanding power but Aish???? For her immense acting skills ?? For winning Miss World a decade ago?

Ranta,Calvin and Christmas

Exams over!!! 4 out of 5 papers went well…one not that good. Results will be declared in Feb so till then I will be suffering from increased blood pressure.

So have you been a good reader and blogger this year? Do you want a gift from Ranta tomorrow? Ranta has already given a gift to a blogger who has been good  to her this year. Start afresh with a clean slate from 26th Dec and remember Ranta is watching you. Maybe next year you will be the chosen one
