17,18,19 and 20th May

17th
Seeing off by some at Fatehpur railway station was touching. All of them continued to stay on beyond midnight as the train was delayed. Among them was a 2 year old boy, son of Shruti Srivastava, buyer of our ancestral house at Fatehpur. He was smiling all through. We had premonition as if he was our late father come to live in his renovated house.
Canvassing for 7th phase of General elections in India ended. The voting will take place on 19th May. Heard the press conferences of Rahul Gandhi and the Prime Minister on TV. Interesting.
18th(Saturday)
No canvassing took place today. PM Narendra Modi visited Kedarnath temple in Uttarakhand and meditated in a nearby cave. Today is Buddha Purnima. The Buddha was born, enlightened and died on this day.
19th(Sunday)
Votes were cast for the 7th and last phase of general elections in India, which take place once after each five years.
Exit polls indicate clear win to NDA and Modi. 
Venita's sugar levels are causing anxiety. We have taken appointment with Dr. Anoop Misra, the best in the field in Delhi and otherwise her consulting physician. We will meet him on 21st May. She is careless about glycaemic food intake.
20th
There is cheer around in BJP, the Congress and Gathbandhans are unhappy. They hope that the results will be different on 23rd, the day of counting. India Today forecast appears to be quite convincing.
