There I was on Republic Day looking around the internet for something patriotic to wear in addition to the flag pin I sport most of the time. Pitted somewhere on the continuum between a patriot and a zealot by most friends, wearing my patriotism on the arm is clearly second nature.

The launch of a new “Tirangaa” bangle caught my eye, especially since it was a Naveen Jindal initiative. After all, this was the man who famously won us the right to fly our National Flag at our homes and offices! This had to be good and I was going to get some soon as I could!
