63rd Republic Day- 63 Things to Admire About India
Bhangra: It is the traditional dance form of Punjab and an international favorite! The thumping beats, the fast, sometimes acrobatic movements leave you spellbound and energized for more.
Bargaining: It is an essential Indian trait. Shopping on the streets of India is a done thing- you beg, fight or bluff your way through!
Dabbawallas: These famous ‘dabbawallas’ that deliver homemade food. More often than not we end up cribbing about how the daal is a little too watery, the rice uncooked but yet we love our dabba’s.
Dhol: Don’t we love the sound of the dhol out there on the street! Although it looks primitive in design, it breathes life into any celebration. Is has a sound that reverberates in the skies.
Dandiya: The dance form that was born in Gujarat is an explosion of rhythm, music and color. In navratri the art form becomes a melting pot of cultures where people around India come together and as everyone dance to the tune of decorative sticks (dandiyas).
Mahatma Gandhi: Mahatama Gandhi, the father of the nation. The man who struggled for our independence and who left behind a treasure of practical wisdom.
Rabindranath Tagore: India's national poet, who gave us our national anthem. He is remembered as the giant among intellectuals.
