Today, we celebrated the Indian Republic Day at Virginia Tech. The Indian Students Association had organized a flag hoisting ceremony. It felt great to sing the national anthem after a long time. The flag fluttered beautiful over the Tech winds..awesome sight to watch. It was good to see Indian students (grads and undergrads) coming in good numbers.. just shows how much everyone loves India and misses it. We also had a few Indian families who have settled in Blacksburg come for this event.
The event was followed a a speech by Dr.Dutta, who is involved with International Affairs at the University. I also enjoyed the coffee (which was needed badly due to the cold out here), and muffins.
This event was also the first to be organized by the new ISA members and they indeed did their HW well. it was well organized.. hats off to them! Hope we get to enjoy many more events under their tenure.
