 26,27 and 28 : Birthdays and Silver Jubilee 

I was born on 26th August,Friday,Dwadasi, Shulka paksh, month of Shravan, 0425 hours at Fatehpur,UP, Samvat 1996 corresponding to Gregorian calendare's 26th August 1939, 82 years back. Venita organised a get together. Only Barun and Bina  could come at lunch. In the evening Babloo,Neha and Akshat came. Akshat cut the cake. Pilku,Ruchi,Abhishree and Amolikaa had sent a beautiful Bouquet of flowers. Pravesh too sent flowers and some gifts.Friends and relations rang up and wished happy birthday. Venita distributed sweets and gave cash to guards and helps. A photo taken on the occasion :

On 27th we celebrated Silku's birthday. He was born today 51 years back. It was Thursday, Dwadasi, Krinapaksh , Bhadrapad, 08.07 pm at Jorhat, Assam , in Samvat 2027,corresponding to Gregorian Calendar's 27 August 1970.........We visited ISCON temple at Dwarka to pray for him and Pilku/Ruchi who got married on this day 25 years back in 1966. We celebrated their Silver jubilee occasion and Silku's birthday with Puja in the morning at home and later at ISCON temple. When Venita distributed sweets,cash to all helps and guards/ others on the day, a guard said ,'Madam you have already given us sweets and money yesterday.' She replied, 'Yesterday we gave for Saheb's birthday.Today it is for the birthday of our second son and anniversary of our first son.' Guard said,'We are getting sweets and money a couple of times every month besides on all festivals.'...... Venita looked quite happy........We had lunch with Mrs Prasad at Taj Vivant,Dwarka. She had come and joined us in prayers earlier at ISCON. We spent over four hours with her. Venita had met her on arrival at Dwarka quite a few days back. It was my first meeting after her bereavement. We propose to invite her to our place to spend one full day. We will then talk about Dr Prasad and our memories of him.
