Dear Aasthika: Gayathri Japam is same on Aug 17 every body . There are some times deviations for the UpAkarma for first upakarma . It is based on grahaNa sparsam . In India , where the grahaNam can be seen , the sparsam is after ardha rAthri ( 1.05 AM) . Hence , both Prathama and other UpAkarmAs are done on Aug 16 there . If the sparsam is before midnight ( ardha Raathri) , the Talia AvaNi avittam people can do the UpAkarma at later date as indicated by you .
