Today’s temperatures are much cooler than yesterday’s due to the cool climate. My sleep was restful. My day has started well. The weather has been pleasant. That gives us an advantage. The daily tasks were completed slowly for me. In light of the cool weather, the water is very cold, making it difficult to complete daily cores, which is why it takes so long. My home was flooded again with large amounts of flowing water as I approached the entrance to my house.
There are no shops open in the morning, and a few may try to open their stores. A notice is written on a temporary shop door at the main road, so I reached over and read it, as I was walking in front of the main road. Puri Municipality wrote the notice. This article mentions that most of the shops that are blocking this road will be removed shortly. Yet, I see that those temporary shops are set up for this day with no apparent concern.
In the morning, I walk slowly down Grand Road to see Jagannath, Balabhadra and Devi Subhadra on my way to the Lord Jagannath Temple as traffic is quite slow and there are few people around. I walked slowly on the side of the road since there was less traffic in and around these areas. I noticed that many visitors came by on four wheels, three wheels, and two wheels. The four-wheelers at Municipality Square are directed to the stand that is about half a kilometer from Lord Jagannath Temple.
Before approaching the temple’s entrance, I reached inside the sanctum sanctorum and prayed to all the Lords in makuta, the traditional attire of Lord Jagannath. Bhai Douj, celebrated today, is a day on which inner brahmins servitor of Lord Jagannath Temple, worship Jambheswar so that they may be relieved of pain from hell after death. When I walked from the Lord Jagannath Temple to the hotel, the weather was good and pleasant. There was a pleasant chill in the air. The walk was pleasant. My next stop was Badashankha Square, which is located just before Hospital Square.
On my way to the side, one scooter suddenly tried to overtake another. As it did so, the scooter at the back moved to the right, hitting the one at the front. Both scooters fell to the ground, and high sounds were emitted as people watched the accident. The morning was still young, and few vehicles were in the area, so few people ran towards them. As far as I can tell, they have not been inflicted with many wounds. My decision to move to the other side of the road followed my observation that all was well on the other side.
My father also told me to bring back three sachets of Haldiram’s Soya Chunks which he liked a lot and which tasted just like his favorite snack. Meanwhile, I went to the office. When I arrived there about two minutes past nine, I began to work. I was extra cautious when driving after seeing a two-wheeler accident. Meanwhile, I must get to work, so I will close this blog today.
