Yup, its the 60 years since India became a Republic. Have we gone the right way or wrong? Well, there is still time for such discussion.
Meanwhile, best wishes of the day.

Christmas is always early in Singapore. By November, the main shopping street of Orchard Road gets fully decked up with lights, christmas trees and other decorations. This year’s lights were switched on November 8th. We were there to see the light up. Paragon had a live band and some pyrotechnics to go along to mark the light up.
Overall, it was fun. A massive tree has been setup outside ION Orchard. You can go inside the tree and see the lightup. Its simply awesome.
Tangs as usual takes the cake for the most opulent and innovative kind of decorations. Like always, they are simply over the top. The shop gets a total golden makeover.
Putting up a few pictures here. Once all have been uploaded, will put up a link here.
