OTA's gift to the nation
What is the most energetic music ever produced by men? The rhythm of the drum or the sound of the trumpet?
No music comes close to the steps of marching soldiers that rhyme with the heartbeats of the listeners. Each step and movement of the warrior's hands produce an inspiring music and charges up with bravery and patriotic fervour.
All at the passing out parade of Indian Army's Officers Training Academy.
It was the second time I was attending a passing out parade at prestigious academy. If the grand sights of the marching men had inspired me then, now I was moved by the magnificent sound of the marching officer cadets.
