Completed morning program.Watched rising sun in a clear sky early morning for sometime.
Attended Holika Dahan in a place near our house at about 9'15 pm. It has been held at this place traditionally for many years. As a boy I used to go to nearby forests to collect firewood for the occasion along with others of the locality in a bullock cart which a neighbor got from his village. The hoodlums, however, collected whatever they could lay hands on late night, chairs,benches cots and put them in the fire. We also lost once our big,very heavy bench which my father had kept outside the chamber for use of his clients. He was furious when he noticed it in the morning but could not do much about it.
The priest did Puja. I attended the ceremony every year since early childhood. After the Holi fire we wished each other. In a gathering of about 30, there was only one person who was my contemporary. Sweets were distributed. We also contributed a sum of Rs 101/-for the occasion when the organizers called on us.
