This is a part of 'going back and re-filling unwritten journals' project, the real writing is happening 8ish months after the date as a part of 'project 100'.
Took a pathao ride to a chowk near SNR's place. Her mom was to host Jd and me for lunch. Because of issues...I got there far to early, had to spend about a half-hour at a nearby restaurant grabbing a fruit juice because waiting outside like a nonce wasn't an option. Eventually we walked in to SNR's place and I found it amazing how much the neighborhood had changed in the 14years since I had last been there.
SNR's mom and bhauju hosted us, his brother had gone for an office event. They served eighteen rounds of dishes, as I've written only a few posts before, man those newa people sure know how to do feasts and foods. Snr's aunt came in a bit too, and we ended up spending like 4 hours talking and hanging out. In the end we took a photo with the two of us and his family.
Took a pathao ride from there to grandparents' place, taking the road behind the airport, the other side of the city. For some reason I had the impression it was under-developed and didn't have much going on, but that was a misunderstanding on my part, the roads are clear and quick, and there's even small towns strewn about.
At grandparents' there was a big party where everybody was there, spent a few hours there. Returned home with parents, where we had a big get-together with folks from mamaghar. Three feasts in one day!
