Fog, fog and more fog. 50 mtr visibility. Doordarshan concentrating on kids, VIP's in attendance and not the actual program. Lesser battalions in parade, a few extra columns from the Armoured Core, A few extra columns from DRDO showcasing their "excellence", A small fly past ( One big boy formation-IL76, Dornier, AN-32; One spearhead formation of 5 Jaguars; One formation of an AWACS and 2 SU-30s (which the commentator deduced as a refueling mission); final formation of 3 SU-30s in Trishul formation and the lead SU-30 doing a vertical charlie.) No para commando's from last time, Bravery awards kids on Army gypsies and not on elephants, SPG's openly wearing their Tavor, NSG commandos wearing shooting glasses and a new weapon which I was not able to deduce.

If anything else comes to mind, will post an update.
