In the morning we went with Dr, Singhi to the new Engineering College where he is the dean. We met the students and talked to them for an hour or so. It was nice to see several girls in the class, in fact it felt like almost 20% of the students were girls.
In the afternoon, we drove to Ujjain for the prewedding function. It was about two hours drive and the road was good. I got Mahdi done on my left hand, there was some women's sangeet ( music) and lot of rituals for welcoming the groom. We ( Jagdish) gave them toke sweets, ring and other stuff ( dowry) and then we drove back. It was very traditional and not much fun really. It is mostly men who do the rituals etc and I just tag along and take pictures of kids and talk to them. ( it is best way to entertain myself). We drove back and it was late, JAgdish was grumping and tired. ...not fun at all.

Today, I spent the morning getting the teeth cleaned. The office and the dentist were both very similar to any American Dental office with the exception the dentist was very nice and did not try to sell anything at all. No fancy procedures and no X Rays. She said my teeth look very good ( i have not heard that phrase for last 20 years) It cost me grand total of TEN dollars.
I visited my friend , Sadhna briefly and then was scheduled to go for the wedding with Jagdish. He called and was very grumpy so i decided not to go at all and went shopping instead. Sorry, no pretty sari pictures any more but i got some very pretty outfits for Emma and Angie.
The weather has become very hot suddenly, temperatures are in 90's so it is good to stay indoors during the day but the evening is very pleasant. We went for a walk and had dinner at the club. It was nice and relaxing. I will try to sleep early today and go for regular walk and yoga in the morning. Hope to report some interesting stuff tomorrow,...Good night
