Wonderful to see the preparations! I appreciate the detailed information about ticket sales and locations. However, I wish there was a stronger online booking system. Standing in long queues at Sena Bhawan in this winter chill can be difficult, especially for senior citizens.

Rs 20 and Rs 100 tickets? That's fantastic! It's a national celebration and should be for the *aam aadmi*. My kids watch it every year on TV and are always in awe. Maybe this year we'll try to get tickets. The parade truly showcases our unity and diversity.

As someone who has attended before, it's an unforgettable experience. The discipline of the armed forces, the vibrant tableaux from different states... it's incredible. Pro tip: reach the metro stations *very* early on the day. The security checks are thorough but necessary.

A gentle reminder to everyone: this day is about our Constitution and the values it enshrines - justice, liberty, equality, fraternity. While we enjoy the parade, let's also take a moment to reflect on our duties as citizens. Happy Republic Day in advance!

Good to see ticket counters at metro stations like Rajiv Chowk and Kashmere Gate. Makes it convenient for people coming from NCR regions like Gurgaon and Noida. The Beating Retreat ceremony is a must-watch too, the music gives me goosebumps every time!
