Early afternoon sun

Took half a day off from work to enjoy the gorgeous sun this afternoon. Was on the terrace of Rootstock with Sharmila. Met our old friend Abby there too. The topics of discussions varied widely from Ghenghis Khan to “Is time a real or imaginary concept?”

Missed this year’s “bhaiphonta”

Today the “bhaiphonta” ceremony was celebrated at my dad’s place. Three years back, I had surprised everybody at his place by showing up on this day. That was 34 years after the last time I had “bhaiphonta“.

Then last year, I tried surprising everybody again. Except my sister and her family and my brother and his family were elsewhere. (They had no idea I was going to show up). I had spent the whole day with my parents.

This year, thanks to Covid, I have to reconcile myself to seeing the pictures on Whatsapp.
