One has to wonder, do we seriously need four days for rehearsals, after the participants have been practising for such a long time in their respective places too before they headed to Delhi. It is due to these rehearsals that the locals in the capital will be facing major problems, as they might have to look for alternative routes due to the roads being closed. Even buses that would be travelling on the route have been diverted. Traffic jams will be witnessed for sure during the rehearsal days, as seen in the past too. Hence, one of the safest and the best ways to reach one’s destination on time is by travelling via metro.
 
It is known that a huge sum of money will be spent over these days for rehearsals, as participants from various parts of the country come over to the capital. India always treats this day as a very momentous one; hence, they do not compromise on the quality of the show. So, they do not mind spending a big amount, as it is also a matter of pride. Still, are these spending justified, when there are around 300 million living below the poverty line in India, which is a matter of shame where the rich is getting richer and the poor are just getting poorer?

 
It is time for the citizens of the nation to ponder about it. Should we just be proud of things in the past and neglect what is in front of us?
