It's a symptom of how busy this year has been that, exactly one year after celebrating Republic Day in India, I am now celebrating Australia Day at an Oxford pub.
It's also a symptom of just how insane Indian driving is that, for the second year in a row my eyes boggled at a clip of the Army Signal Corps in the Republic Day parade.
I actually wish I had the video of what they did last year. The first few daredevils on the route sat at the top of giant, thin poles, holding on with just their legs as they 'casually' read the paper twenty feet above the ground, at high speed. Oh, by the way, they were facing backwards.
Wow. All we're doing for Australia Day is eating lamingtons.
