3rd day

Today, 13th June, is practically our 4th day, but yet,  I am choosing  the title as 3rd day.
In the morning, I went for a walk for about 35 min., along a straight course. It was drizzling. So, took an umbrella. Joggers r always there. Dogs were seen, but, in less nos. Parks desolated. Only cars were seen moving, though  today is a sunday.
The convocation ceremony in Dartmouth college started at  10-o-clock morning. Internet showed this live. Amitava, about whom I have already written, was seen taking his degree, though I was away at that moment.However, rest of us saw this. His parents were there for sure, though one could not locate them in the big crowd. The ceremony happened in New Hampshire & there was drizzle too.
Among the dignitries present, were  former President Bush Sr. with wife.  Ph. D was conferred upon him.
TV host (Comedy) O'brien had been there & he entertained during his interesting speech. Everyboday was entertained & was seen laughing, when he spoke at length.
Mr. Kim was the President. Post-graduates, graduates, Undergraduates took their degrees. Many former scholars of different fields were honoured. Brilliant researchers and scholars also were honoured.

In the evening all of us went to   1. Indian shopping center  (Patel's)   2.  Wholesale Mkt  & 3. Bangladeshi Mkt. Place.
