A memory and a spectacular event.

Kargil Vijay Diwas

It's the 25th anniversary of the Kargil Vijay Diwas. A two-day event is on with the Prime Minister kick starting a spate of activities from Dras, which had seen intense action between the Indian Army and the Pakistani forces.

The real heroes were the young officers who led from the front along with their boys. 

Salute to the brave hearts! A thankful nation is proud of you and bows to your valour and courage!! My prayers and tears! 


The XXXIII Olympic Games - Paris 2024

The Seine hosted the Opening Ceremony of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games - this evening and for the first time outside the stadium.

One of Europe's most famous waterways, the Seine has seen a lot. It was a mute witness when the Romans conquered Lutetia, a swampy little fishing village on its banks and it was still looking on when modern Paris rose on that site a few centuries later.

This evening's show began at Austerlitz, close to the Roman site of Lutetia.


Tailpiece.

Got up at a quarter past 5, the chores and was ready by 10. 

Lekha had gone to the town for purchases.

It's the 11th day of the Ramayana recital. Lekha recites everyday, both in the morning and in the evening. 

A quiet Friday.
