Kidacity - India Explained. Learn, Share, Grow.

As promised, I'm bringing back 2 of my popular segments in this episode- Tried and Tested and BookWorm.

If you. have heard of bands such as Mettalica, Slayer or Guns N Roses, then you probably know about the genre of music that is called Heavy Metal. I did some research about this for my school project and found some amazing facts which you will also love knowing more about. That is our Tried and Tested segment for you.

Next, in the bookworm segment, I will review the book called We, The Children Of India by Leila Seth. Since my birthday happens to be on the day the Constitution was officially adopted by India, this is a topic that has always been of interest to me.

We are 3 episodes short of our century! Stay tuned as we unravel some big changes to the podcast.

Have you watched any military parade on television? The biggest parade of the year happens every year on Republic Day (which is also my birthday!). The army contingents march with so much coordination that it is wonderful to watch. But there is another ceremony that happens in the Northern part of India where India and Pakistan share a border.
About 30 kms from Amritsar in Punjab is the Atari- Wagah border. Atari is the last village on the Indian side and Wagah is the last village on the Pakistani side. Every evening, both sides conduct a flag lowering ceremony. Thousands of people gather on each side to see this.
I was lucky to be a part of this event during my recent trip to North India. Everyone was chanting Vande Mataram and it was once in a lifetime experience. If you get a chance to do this in person- you should not miss it.

In this episode, I will speak about a very important experience in my life so far. I was fortunate to meet with The Chief of Army Staff, General Manoj Pande, PVSM, AVSM, VSM, ADC. I never imagined that I could be walking down the corridors of such high security government buildings. I'm sure that the experience will be worth listening to.

I'm sure all of you have heard of The Golden Temple in Amritsar. But do you know its real name? Or do you know the name of the cities on both sides of the India and Pakistan borders where a daily flag ceremony is conducted?
