“When did India get independence?” He was asked.”The efforts began a few years earlier and final result was in 1947″ He replied.”Who was responsible for our independence?”.”There were so many. Whom to mention?.If I name one it will be a injustice to another.”He replied.”Is corruption the number one enemy in our country?”.”Some research is going on the subject and I can answer with certainly only after seeing the report” He replied.
The interview board was very pleased with his original and thoughtful
answers and asked him not to reveal the questions to others,since they
were planning to ask the same questions. When he went out naturally
others were curious to know what was asked. He politely declined, but
one persistent Sardar would not leave him.
“At least tell me the answers” he pleaded, and our friend obliged. Then
it was the turn of this Sardar. When he went inside, since his resume
was slightly illegible, the board member asked him.”By the way, what is
your date of birth?” He replied, “The effort began a few years earlier
and final result was in 1947.” Somewhat puzzled, they asked another
clarification.”What is your fathers name?” He replied, “There were so
many. Whom to mention”. If I name one it will be injustice to another”
The interviewer was incensed. “Hey! are you mad or what?” He replied.
“Some research is going on the subject. I can answer with certainty only
after seeing the report.”

NDP 2007
One of the many firsts at this National Day Parade is the new ceremonial vehicle used by President S R Nathan to inspect all the 25 contingents of the parade. This is the first time that a President is inspecting all the contingents on wheels. In the past, he would inspect just the guard-of-honour contingent. Now he soooo lazy need car to replace march pass!
National Flag Fly-past
National Flag Fly-past, a traditional crowd favourite, will feature a Chinook helicopter carrying the 5400 sq ft (about 15 per cent bigger than a basketball court) State Flag, escorted by Apache helicopters. The fly-past will be synchronised with the singing of the National Anthem by spectators.
Presidential Salute and Bomb-Burst.
Following the National Anthem, three F-16 D Block 52+ Fighting Falcons in a “Victory” formation will perform a split-second precision and synchronised afterburner fly-past above the crowd at an ascending height from 500 to -1500 ft. This will be followed closely by five F-16 C fighter jets executing a visually spectacular bomb-burst as a salute to the President. To add colour to the aerial salute, the five F-16s will trail off with white smoke from the smoke pod that has been designed by the RSAF.
Apart from the aerial display, the Air Participation Committee will also be supporting the military free fall in the Talents Pool and Show segments, as well as in the Dynamic Defence Display. A total of 18 aircraft, 28 pilots and 13 aircrew will be involved in this year's NDP.
