10th(Saturday)
Venita went to her aunt's place for dinner on the occasion of her 90th birthday. She is wife of her late uncle, JS Verma, younger brother of her late father. She met her after long time. Due to some constraints, I could not join . I had visited her after the death of uncle-in-law few years back at Varanasi. She is perhaps the only remnant of older generation in the family. Many have already left us in the past. Khyati, our eldest grandchild, used to tell me, when she was just few years old that all elders who left us had become stars and now lived in the galaxy. One day I told this to Amolikaa (our 3rd grandchild) at our Vikaspuri home about my father who became star long time back and later about me. She became quite sad. Then I told her that I won't become star till she got married. She was visibly happy. But she said that she won't get married before 25. When I had this conversation she was just 5/6 years old.
11th(Sunday)
Attended informal lunch get-together of 6 Delhi based IPS officers of 1964 batch at CSOI. One of them had joined IFS a year later. But he continues to join all get-to-gethers of 1964 batch IPS officers because of old connection.
Drove to Vikaspuri to participate in Shivratri puja on 14th Feb along with Venita. It is cool now ,not cold. Felt quite comfortable during evening walk.
12th
Quite pleasant weather today. Planned to have a couple of air purifiers in VV house soon. Checked on the availability of different brands in the market as also their effectiveness in purifying polluted air.
