Visited CGHS. Joined batch second friday lunch at CSOI Kasturba Gandhi Marg. Pakistan was the main subject of discussion. 13 of us from IAS, IFS,IPS and Central services were present. Spent time together for over 2 hours.There was a couple from a Central service too. Quite a few of us have so much changed that it is difficult to corelate us to what we were 52 years back when we first met at Mussoorie. But quite a few of us still keep our basic features.

Spent the day reading newspapers, magazines and books.

Dadwals live in the ground floor of our block. On their invitation and insistence, we attended the first birthday celebration of their grandson in a nearby hotel. I could not take food as I was on ekadasi fast. Venita took. Had to rush back as the driver had to reach his newly rented room before 10 pm. His landlady has asked him to return by 10 pm. The room is in first floor and landlady lives in 2nd floor . The entire house is locked from inside. Shivamohan is also staying in the same room these days. He had come on 16th Sept. He is to go back to Fatehpur on 17th Oct.
