March 4. “Where were you for most of the day?”

“Button, I went to the office from where we all went out for lunch and, afterwards, went to see The Black Swan which my elder daughter and I wanted to watch. The movie has earned Natalie Portman the best actor award at the Oscar’s.

“Did you like the movie?”

“I did. Portman was superb. Seeing her my daughter wanted to know why we had not sent her to ballet school!”

“She as usual was joking. Or was she?”

“But you did come back home around 7 ish. Didn’t Dost and you go out one more time?”

“A friend of Dost hosted a reception at the US Club on the occasion of her marriage where we dropped in briefly.”

“It’s past midnight and I am dozing off. Goodnight.”
