Republic Day

Bee,

Today is India's Republic Day. A good 18 years back, I was uniquely fortunate to participate and parade in this immaculate event, in New Delhi.

In the thick of winter, a young college student that I was, did feel proud walking down Rajpath.

Well, that day did change my life too. And probably that was the 'less travelled road in the wood,' which made "all the difference."

And thus I started to believe that things happen for a reason; and that certain things are pre-destined; however much we like to deny it.

  1. Things happen for a reason...true.
    But isn't it ironical that by the time we discover the reason....things have already changed !!!

  2. True ... and who knows - maybe there are two paths and often ... we do not even realize we are babes in the woods (based on the choice we make) -- until years later we look back and reflect.

    The "today-ness" is the gift we are left with that will, hopefully, allow us to take a walk on the wild side... because bold we are, strong we are & wiser by destiny's path we are.
