We marched till the Red Fort, one never feels tired on January 26. This is my fifth month in the army but this is the second time I am participating in the parade.
The first time I came here was as an NCC cadet.
It is a moment of great pride. I want to come back as many times as possible. That is the spirit that drives most parade participants.
As told to Josy Joseph
