23rd March

Completed morning program. Visited IIPA In the Supreme court from about 2 to 3.30 pm.

'Another form of Goddess Durga is Devi Chandraghanta who is Worshiped on the third day of Navratri Pooja. Grace of Goddess Chandraghanta makes her worshipers spirited and fearless.' 'Maa Kushmanda, the fourth Avatar of Goddess Durga, is also worshiped on the day of Navratri. Her name means 'the cosmic egg' and she is considered the creator of the universe.' Navratri is of 8 days this year.

A friend sent a mail on '15 Amazing 'Foreign' Places You Can Visit In India', which i circulated to friends and relations. I wrote to my friend : " We have visited quite a few of these places. A few remain. We can plan to go to these places in March or June or October or December when we have longer breaks. We have reserved March and October slots for Fatehpur where we enjoy lot of sunshine in a cool, pollution free weather with memories of having lived there in child/boyhood, good food and service. We will try them in June and December when there are extreme weather conditions at Delhi. Venita is also now attuned to these schedules, but still boasts of her good old childhood days in Verma family. It is quite natural. After my transfer from Dhubri to Guwahati in 1974, i was worried as to how children would adjust to new conditions of changed environment,she,like a true traditional Indian wife, had said that they would adjust anywhere with us around them. It had taken away much of my worry. The wives are great that way."
