I participated in the Republic Day parade atop a tank from the same unit that my father belonged to. It is a tradition for second generation officers to follow their fathers into the same unit.

But I got to overtake him to the Republic Day parade. My family was very excited to see me at the parade.

As told to Josy Joseph
