Completed morning program. Children went out for gymnastic and athletics early morning. Ruchi and Venita went to Southside mall and Pilku to Gym. Spent the day reading newspapers and magazines. Also watched the Wimbledon players practicing in courts in front of Pilku's house for some time. As i had watched Wimbledon live in 2011, it was the same experience watching them playing/practising power-packed shots. Both men and women were tall, handsome and healthy. Pilku told that he had heard that top players would come with big entourage of cooks, attendants, families and hire nearby houses for 2 to 3 weeks paying 40 to 50,000 pounds, quite often sponsored by Corporates and others.We had watched quarter final matches in the Central court in 2011. Maria Sharapova was one of the players in the Women's quarter final match. She won the match. But she did not play so well.
Today is Father's day here. It is celebrated in a big way in the west. As far as i know, there was no tradition of its celebration in the east. This western practice is now followed in the east also. Bablu rang up. Amolikaa and Abhishree hugged me affectionately. Ruchi prepared a vegetable of my choice and some other dishes. Children prepared lollipops with chocolate attached to a bow and arrow for me and Pilku.
Retired to sleep at 10 pm (GMT).
News of the day :1. JDU and BJP broke their 17 year old ties in Bihar. JDU also withdrew from NDA. Now NDA has three main parties: BJP, Shiva Sena and Akali Dal.
