Like every year the enthusiastic Walkers of Hanging Gardens celebrated our Republic Day with zeal and passion. Walkers sang our National Anthem ‘Jana Gana Mana’ supported by the harmonica group. Before the anthem was played a two minute silence was held in memory of our galliant soldiers who laid down their lives fighting for our country. This was followed by a sumptuous breakfast for all.
Harmonica Group played patriotic songs invoking national pride. Harmonica players remembered Late Ramesh bhai Parekh who was a regular garden walker and founder of the Harmoca Club, who unfortunately expired recently
One of the walkers sent us this picture of the garden’s most loved senior citizen walker ‘Naru Kaka’ with a caption ‘With a strong foundation in the past, the nation’s future is extremely bright’.
