24th (Sunday)
As the driver went on leave on the day, could not move out much. Walked over to 'Coasta Coffee outlet', about a km away. Returned home to watch India-Australia 3rd ODI which India won with 5 wickets.

26th
Attended a get-together of former and now defunct Dons' club members of the Diamond Jubilee hostel of Allahabad University at IIC in the afternoon. Virendra, Prabhat, Ramesh and me could join in. Other 5 are not in Delhi. Saw our life in retrospect. Two of the club retired as senior IPS Officers, one IAS, one Central service, one Judicial service, one Professor of Indian Insttute of Publc Administration, one Professor of a Degree college, one private firm and one legal profession. One died due to drowning, in all 10 of us. The group covered almost all major spheres of activities in their life span except Technology,Science and Arts. Most of us are in early/late seventies. A refreshing get-together after long long time. Last meeting of the club took place in 1961. We decided to meet more times as far as possible.
