At New Delhi (3).

Our third day at New Delhi. Got up at 6, the chores and was ready by a quarter to 10. Today, it was my turn to meet up with certain officials at the Department of Science and Technology as well as a few at the Niti Aayog.

Maman and Ammayi had come with the car to pick me up while Lekha was to stay back at our living quarters during our calls. Meanwhile, Bijumon sir and Chambu had gone on the sightseeing trip organised for the Mann ki baat team.

Meeting up with the officials - especially, without prior appointment - can be tricky and could entail long waits! Luckily for us, our visits went off smoothly and we could meet up the people whom we'd wanted to and that's a great achievement!

But by the end of it all, it was an exhausting day. The lunch at the Mandi House was nice and we could meet up with a lot of people who were part of the 'Mann ki baat' group.

We, then, made a dash to the INA Market to buy some banana chips to gift the landlord of our apartment and spent a while there.

A quiet evening thereafter!
