23rd Sep was a day for remembering Uncle, and we started it off by driving to the temple at Chhattarpur at dawn. We ran into a bunch of temple visitors from Gujarat, who brightened our day. More colour followed – at an impromptu stop for a picture of the Qutub Minar, we discovered a flower market, and were dazzled by the riot of colours of marigold, roses, gerberas and lilies.

The rest of the day zipped by in meeting friends, especially Dola & Arpita, who starved all day so that they could pig out at dinner with us (so reminiscent of the days at Walchand College). Needless to say, we had a long ‘sabha’ and all our crazy cackles!
