Republic Day Celebrations???

(((All characters mentioned in following blog are purely existent and that includes me !!!.Any resemblance with a person living (and hopefully dead) is definitely not a coincidence.So mind it if you have any problems with my blog ,Just curse yourself because you woke up on the wrong side of the bed on 26th Jan!!!!)))
26th January is a Red letter day in the History of this Planet. It was the day on which the Constitution came into force in the world`s largest democracy(pssssst its India). So obviously every Indian is proud to celebrate this day. So was it celebrated in my township (a place always bubbling with energy and activity) .
The celebrations involved a lot of singing and dancing. The cast was simply 'amazing' (as the host told me once!!!!). A host who kept on advertising himself and trying to get applause for the same tried and tested formulae(Eg:Let me hear some noise) and according to him every performance was 'Stupendous'(Quite a heavy word is`nt it???).The other host happens to be a Sworn enemy of mine.Mind it she is wanted by the police of 15 nations for crimes like torturing audiences with her songs and rotten jokes.Well that`s it for the host- a big round of applause for them(The sooner you give it , the earlier they exit the stage!!!)
Then coming to the dance there were a few kids who danced really the way a kid should dance. (Even the lack of coordination was a treat!!!!).Really entertaining.Then there were the regular recent hits(Dard e Disco ,Mauja hi Mauja ,and check out the local Top 10 list for the rest of the songs.) and some poorly imitated moves of Hrithik and other stars.Probably was the best part of the whole event.(I mean the music was really good!!!!!).
Well that brings to the singing.Let me remind you that singing is really a god`s gift above all other criteria like practice and training. So the singers here were of two types:those who cannot sing and those who think they could sing. I almost feel sorry for the audience (which of course includes me!!!!).
So that`s it for the Republic day the rest of the program included the dinner and lots of ice cream so i must say it passed uneventfully.In the end i was walking home @ around 10:30 PM when a thought came to my mind - The so-called celebrations in fact had nothing to do with the Republic Day.In the end,it was just a mindless display of talent and the lighting and music was just tactfully used to con people into enjoying the whole program.
Mera Bharat Mahan!!!!
