I Always work on republic day(though this yr i ain't gonna be in the city) just because the terrace of the office has a ringside view of the flypast, got to watch the flypast with one of Boeing India's top people last yr.
Always know the exact timings of the flypast thanks to the air force observation team we always host on our terrace.
