13th
We had set out for Kanpur from Fatehpur,UP, in the afternoon on this date in 1967 where in-laws lived and marriage was to be solemnized. Marriage was solemnized in the early hours of 14th March. My friends who had seen Venita at the time of dwar-pujan through her see-through veil told that my would-be wife was beautiful. I saw her first time at 'dwar-pujan' before marriage. We had not met before marriage. My sisters had seen her before marriage and approved the proposal of marriage. I had felt disappointed when they told that she was quite thin. But nothing could be done then as the proposal of marriage had been approved by them . Later after quite a few months of marriage when I got her weighed she was just above 30 kgs. She has added another 30 kgs in 51 years of our married life.. She is now doubled and over 60 kgs. BMI guidelines, keeping her height in view, say that she should not be more than 54 kgs. We hope she will keep her weight under check . I am 68 kgs and according to BMI I should not be more than 64. I am keeping it under check. My father-in-law had organized grand reception of barat. Flowery decorations were superb. Baratis were ferried in cars from 'janvasa' to Venita's residence and back, a distance of about a couple of kms.. They stayed overnight and were as far as I remember about 60 in number. I travelled in my father-in-law's vintage Morris car. He had two such cars, one small and one big. He was fond of vintage cars.

Abhishree is doing rock climbing in the photograph below.In this you climb up steep walls too. Her school tweeted this photograph to her parents. Her uncle who used to do rock climbing in college days says :'It is tough'.
We took lunch in 'Machan' restaurant of Taj Mahal hotel . Venita joined in buffet. I ordered Arrabbiata basil and garlic soup (shared with Venita) and a plate of baked vegetables with some buns and butter. Soup was delicious. The hotel gave complementary sugarless/eggless sweet dish and Formosa green tea.
