26th September

Went for 45 minute walk. Visited Dentist. Venita could not go due to spondylitis. In the Supreme Court and chamber from about 1 to 5 pm.Today is Babu's Tithi. We gave dry rations and cash to the priest of the Society temple. Venita was particular in giving ghee, palak sag which Babu liked very much. With the observance of Babus's Tithi, the offerings to the ancestors came to an end..Babu died on Saptami . Hence the offerings to the priest on the day. Babu and Amma (my mother) invariably gave 'Sidha' (dry rations) to the Purohit of the family during Pitrapaksh as token of offering to the ancestors. I gave 'Tilanjali' to the ancestors from the first day of Pitrapaksh till today as desired by Venita. Food is also given to the crows,dogs along with offerings to the ancestors during these days. Retired  to sleep at 10.30 pm.
