Scribbles of a Lazy Geek

So, if you wonder what is so special about this day, apart from the fact that it is the Republic Day of India, that I religiously try to write a post about this day every year – then let me clear a few doubts this ‘Chabbi Janvary’. ‘Chabbi janvary’ is how we pronounce ‘26 January’ in Punjabi.

For a change let’s see how the drafts look when they get published unpolished :).
