16 and 17th Feb

16th
Observed Ekadasi fast.
Yesterday Venita had a bird's eye view of Kumbh mela. She was accompanied by her brother and his wife. She was much impressed with the view and the arrangements.
Today she was to attend 'Satyanarain katha' in the camp of her brother's sister-in law,have dip in Sangam and lunch. Due to the visit of Vice President of India, there were quite a few traffic diversions and closures of some roads. She got into traffic jams. She could not reach the camp even after travelling over 6 hours. In normal times it takes not more than half an hour. The priest who was to recite 'katha' also reached quite late. She reached after katha/lunch were  over. She took lunch on way back in the market along with her brother and sister-in-law.
