A Cold Week End in Delhi

The Met office was right for a change when it predicted fall in min temp on the weekend, due to "cold westerly winds". Though the sun was out bright and warm, the strong cold winds kept Delhites chilled and mostly indoors. Shailey went to the Garden of Five Senses with the NTRO Ladies Club for Housie and Lunch at the the Bhau Sahib Ka Dhaba, I lazed around after Ram Kumar's rub down. Went to CP to get my new wollen trouser refitted at Mhan lal and Sons ( unsuccessfully) and had Patiey ke Mataren and Kulchey at Bhogal's behind Scindhia House. Then Ashok Saikia's Prayer Meting at the Chinmaya Mission at Lodhi Rd in the evening.. It could have been better. The Bhajan singer broke in with a Nhajan set on Bollywood tune which put me off. The speakers were also inimpressive, except the last who( Gunnu) spoke from the heart and made people close to Ashok cry Today was Lohri. There was no agenda. Shuchi's parents dropped in with the Moongphalis, Revadi and Ghazak. Had tea with them outside on the terrace. Called Kaushal Sahib to check whether they were home and joined them for lunch. Came back and enjoyed a snooze. Lallan( Maj Gen Parmar) and his wife dropped in in the evening and joined us for dinner. All in all a relaxed Sunday. Not much to do in the garden, except watering the beds and sprinking of the lawns. Spinach, Lal Moolis and Dhaniya were cropped and shared with the Sawhneys and Kaushals. Cmpleted my sixth day on the Treadmill during the week. Maight take a break tomorrow and take a walk in Nehru Garden if I wake up early enough. That's all for tonight. Shailey's school officially reopens tomorrow. So back to the routine.
