22nd, 23rd and 24th October

22nd
Went for 45 minute walk in Allahabad's famous Company garden. The garden is spacious and a good breathing space for its denizens. A number of people were walking , exercising, doing  yoga and meditation. Sangita comes here for yogic exercises in the morning.
 Left for Fatehpur at about 3 pm.The road is good. Except in some residential areas on way, taxi driver drove (Mahindra Renault) at 110 km speed. Reached Fatehpur in about 2.30 hours covering a distance of 146 kms. We had tea in 'Kulharh' at Sirathu.  After leaving NH2, it took more than half an hour to reach our house about a km away.The approach road was full of traffic consisting of rickshaws,cars,bicycles etc.. It was brimming with people. All the signboards  over shops and other places at Allhabad and Fatehpur were in Hindi and rarely in English. Venita says that these could only be in Hindi as it is the language of the State of UP. We see only English signboards in Delhi and rarely in Hindi. Bhayya, eldest son of late Naresh Bhaisaheb and Advocate Ajay came in the evening.
Retired to sleep at 10 pm.
23rd
Went for about an hour walk. Guddu, Munni (of Belgaon) and Sangita, late Naresh Bhaisaheb's children, Subhash (of local Kayasth Mahasabha), Advocates Ajay, Digvijay Singh and Shivji came.. Went to buy electrical goods for the newly repaired rooms. The old ones have to be replaced. They are dilapidated.
Retired to sleep at 9.30 pm.
24th
Went for half an hour walk in a quite well maintained park in front of DM's residence. Electrician. plumber,carpenter, iron-grill-door maker etc. worked during the day. Advocates Digvijay Singh and Ajay came. Discussed utilization of the renovated house. Efforts to hand it over to Ramkrishna Mission for starting an educational institution have not succeeded so far, We are continuing to pursue it with them.
 Retired to sleep at 10 pm.
