Another piece of trivia that perhaps isn't surprising once you've lived here: it is the longest written constitution of any sovereign country in the world (395 articles, 14 schedules, and 94 amendments).
The day was marked with a huge parade here in Delhi, from the Rajghat along the Vijaypath. Army, Navy, and Air force marched in the parade, performing their drills. As we drove around yesterday, we saw some jets in the air and wondered if they were part of the celebration.
So how did we celebrate? Wish I could say we were right there with the millions of people watching the parade, but we were more than content to stay away from the crowds -- the definition of which is on a whole new level here in India. At night we took a nice drive around the city and ended the evening with chocolate oreo cheesecake and banoffee pie. It wasn't Indian, but it definitely was delicious! ;)
