After the interview I went to sports room and then have my lunch and then went to my parent’s guesthouse. I visited a temple that day that was the Bhart Mata temple actually that was not a temple. In that temple a large map of India made with hand work in white marble stone. Lots of posters political and geographical map of India. Lots of memory of India when it was not independent, glad to see all that things and that was one of the best collections of India’s memory.
