Took Venita to Dr Ritesh Gupta, a diabetic physician for check up.
16th(Saturday)
Attended marriage of late Dr Madhu's daughter,Parul. She got married to Jegamohan Vicneswarajah,a Sri Lankan settled in London. Baratis were quite a few. Janatis were not many. There was lot of boisterous leg-swinging mainly by Sri Lankans, a happy people to the tune of Bollywood and Sinhalese tunes (most based on Bollywood songs or vice-versa). Sri Lanka achieved a Happy Planet Index Score of 33.8 and ranks 28th, India 133 and UK 34 among 156 countries . Finland is on top. All ceremonies started from 14th. While dancing along with many, bride and bridegroom slipped rings into each other's fingers, an innovative way of doing ring ceremony. Jayamala and marriage took place today. Unlike in India, they bent down to take mala on each other's neck. No 'nakhra'.Venue was Country-inn and Suites of hotel Radisson on Sohna road in outer Gurgaon, about an hour drive from Delhi. Parul (she looked like Anuradha, Madan's wife at her wedding), the bride, a NHS doctor, organised all arrangements, stay etc.of over a fortnight there. Prem Srivastava, her father had come to Pilku's place in London along with his younger daughter to meet us. We were then in London.
A photograph of the newly-wed couple is given below.

Went to the Supreme court. Found it closed perhaps due to the National mourning on account of death of Parrikar,Chief Minister Goa and former Defence Minister of India.
