5th May

Went for a brisk walk only. Venita left for a dip in the Ganges early morning on the occasion of Baisakhi Purnima. Purnima commenced  today at 11.42 am It will end at 9.17 am tomorrow. She was not aware of these timings. She knew this much that it was today as well as tomorrow. She took bath before the onset of Purnima..When i told her this, she said that it did not matter. A dip in the Ganges in the month of Baisakh is all that mattered. She returned at about 3 pm.
Women bagged  top 2 civil services slots this year.They are Shena Agarwal and Rukmini Riar respectively from Haryana and Punjab. While Shena is a MBBS  degree holder from AIMS and already an IRS officer under training at Nagpur, Riar ,a MA from Tata Institute of Social Sciences, is selected after her first effort. Last year too two women, one each from Chennai and Hyderabad, secured top 2 positions.
Retired to sleep at 10.30 pm.
