"India Poised" by Amitabh Bachchan

Read about "India Poised" campaign here.

Amitabh Bachchan, Big B, is a Bollywood superstar. In my opinion, and many others (Greatest Star of the Millennium by BBC where he beat Charlie Chaplin and Marlon Brando, Most powerful Indian star by Forbes, Goodwill Ambassador for UNICEF),  he is the best actor Bollywood has ever produced so far and it's really nice to see him reciting this anthem. My childhood is full of his movies such as Mr Natwarlal, Muqaddar Ka Sikandar, Amar Akbar Anthony, Don, Do Aur Do Paanch, Shaan, Naseeb, Satte Pe Satta, Coolie and many more.

If you understand Hindi, then I'd recommend to watch that one since, to me, that connects directly to the heart.

58th Republic Day of India

Today is the Republic Day of India. This day, 58 years ago, Constitution of the Country came into force thereby defining it as a Sovereign Socialist Democratic Republic with a Parliamentary form of Government, through the Preamble. The Indian Constitution, which was adopted by the Constituent Assembly after considerable discussions represented the framework of the Government of the Country.

This day is a national holiday in India and celebrated with pride. One of the many events around this day is the Republic Day Parade. As a child, I used to enjoy a live telecast of this parade on television followed by in-person enjoying the prowess of Indian Armed Forces as the parade used to end near our house on Red Fort of Delhi.

Check a webcast of 2007 parade here, deja vu.

Wishing all fellow readers a happy republic day.

Youtube - Indian version

Check out MeraVideo and ApnaTube - Indian versions of youtube. Read/listen interview of MeraVideo.com founder. I found regular pauses in ApnaTube streaming but no such issues in MeraVideo though. Most of the videos, on both the sites, were not original though.
