While the celebration looks grand, I hope the commitment to "excellence and safety" mentioned by the Chairman translates into smoother passenger experiences at our airports. The real patriotism is in serving the common citizen efficiently every day.

NCC cadets with drums and a drama on Vande Mataram... this is how we should celebrate our Republic Day. Not just a holiday, but a day of remembrance and pride. More organizations should host such events for staff and families.
