15th Jan

Completed morning program.
Makarsankranti is celebrated today with lots of 'til' (sesame) sweets. These were given to all who came to us on the day as well as to the neighbour in front of our flat. In 1976, i had come to Allahabad from Assam along with about 20 officers and men. We were deputed to assist UP police in the management of duties at Kumbh Mela, mainly for dealing/helping people of Assam who would come there for holy dip at Sangam.
I remember i had taken my late mother-in-law in a boat for a dip at Sangam on this day in 1976. She was quite happy about it and had blessed me  for facilitating the bath. Her round face and big eyes on the day flash into my mind sometime.
