A modest function that saw us salute the national flag and recite the national anthem was our way of greeting the Republic Day for the year 2012. We then opened up the forum for anybody interested to say a few words on the occasion. After a few quick but enlightening speeches, we were done with the morning's show.
There was a Talent's Day show planned for the evening of the Republic Day. Here, we allowed the youth of the apartment to exhibit any talent that they have nurtured. We were greeted with a huge list of talents and a wide variety of shows ranging from the rendition of Bhajans, Carnatic violin recitals, dances, a capella, stand-up comedy and even beat-boxing. It was a fun filled evening which made us take pride in the fact that we were giving the children of Goodwill Apartments a platform to showcase their rich talent rather than sleeping away our Republic Days.
The following Sunday, the 29th of January, 2012, a Food-Court was organised. This time, we ensured that specific people were allocated sufficient quantities of certain types of filling dishes to make sure that we didn't run out of food and no one went back hungry. However, at this Food Court, we saw that the event was given a colour of salesmanship and this commercialisation was something that led us to decide to not continue this event thereafter.
