Republic day memories
I remembered something, when I saw the flag hoisting in our apartment on the occasion of Republic Day.
Yes, it was about my childhood and it was so beautiful. We used to be present at every office and schools where the flag hoisting used to happen. We had to run from one place to another. Running was not a problem because of the taste of those multi colored candies which we used to get.
Candies of various colors were available. No five star today can match the taste of those candies. My favorite was a green color candy. We used to stuff maximum in our pockets, and then once the flag hoisting used to get over, divide it among friends. Those who want green, those who want red, those who want yellow like that we used to divide.
My favorite candy was green in colour, but my favorite color was yellow. All my clothes were yellow only. Then and now and always. There was a yellow colored racquet for playing badminton.
All sports events were used to be held on the Republic Day. Club day was also that day in our village. Sports events in the morning followed by rope-pulling and then art programs and so on. It was a festive feeling.
A sports day where everyone gets together.
Beating is also known as a sports item right. There was a nice person in our neighborhood. All the household work he used to do and always used to wear tilak in forehead. He had a daughter who was adopted. This gentleman used to do almost everything in their house, including tying his daughter's hair. But only one problem he had got. He needs alcohol daily. Not only Alchohol, he wanted to get a slap from someone and then he used to go home and sleep peacefully. The next morning he will be again a gentleman and may come and say sorry to people whom he disturbed or the people who beat him up. These type of people you all could have seen only in movies.
There were the regular winners in the Athletics competition every year. Until that day they won't be seen anywhere. But correct on that sports day, they will appear and used to win the cup and medals. I used to go with heavy build up as a local boy and hope to win, but used to leave empty handed.
These memories will never die.every republic day these memories make us remember how we were as children.
The mind will never stop thinking about those days, knowing that those days won't come back.
Wishing everyone a very happy Republic Day.
