Up and recorded Dadi for about an hour. Came down and did work for Kunzum and a little bit of research on Ferozepur and our 'roots.' Lunched. Went to CP with sis to buy a gift for the third sis. Bought nothing. Went to Pacific Mall to look at the laptop I am finally going to buy. Model not available. The lights went out at the mall. The escalator ramp stopped moving. We walked on it, and while walking electricity flooded back and the ramp moved. Weird feeling that. Home. Spoke to third sis. Ate lots of bhujiya. Yuck. Came down. Facebooked, mostly. Dinner. Came down again and wrapped my diary and a book in pretty blue paper. Spoke to boi. Felt good. Started reading Punjab: A History from Aurangzeb till Mountbatten by Rajmohan Gandhi. Interesting so far. Only read Introduction and Preface till now.
Internal
Relaxed, surprisingly, most of the day. Have decided not to work for So Delhi, inspite of less income. No time or energy to do other things. Wonderful conversation with Dadi - she talked about her school, how she introduced the uniform, then about her father, the fact that he was posted to Khartoum in Africa during the second world war. She spoke about her pregnancies. I love her. When I was doing my own research on Wadhwas and Ferozepur, I discovered that not only do I know nothing, but I also don;t know how and where to approach people or books. Think a trip to the Delhi Library is needed. And the history books I already have might help.This book by Rajmohan Gandhi is quite brilliant so far. Had no idea that the whole of 'undivided' Punjab was ruled by Aurangzeb and then invaded by Nadir Shah and then ruled over by someone called Ranjit Singh from Lahore. Had no idea about the five divisions of the state - Rawalpindi, Lahore, Multan, Jalandhar, and Multan. Dadi belonged to the Jalandhar division then, because it had Ferozepur. I'm rather excited about this book :D
Love you. Nighty night.
