It was Republic Day. The school was abuzz with activity. Students of the higher classes had taken to turning the playground into the drill square and boy, had they done a good job! With Rangolis drawn delicately near the entrances to the red carpet carefully laid across the square for the chief guest to walk on. The School Pupil Leader, parade commander-in-chief for the day standing in front of the dais in wait of the chief guest’s arrival. The class contingents stood on their designated positions, their faces solemn with the fervor of patriotism largely writ.
