A Sunday pass

This Sunday, we hadn’t planned anything and were wondering how to spend the day when our friends called up to say we could join them for a visit to the science museum. They had got passes for it and we gladly jumped at the opportunity.
Sunday being a Gurupurab, our friends first wanted to visit the Gurdwara and we joined them there as I had never been to a gurdwara before and wanted to see how it is.
As we entered in,we were asked to cover our heads with scarves and were directed to the darbar hall where Guru Granth Sahib was housed. We stood there for a few minutes before the Holy Scriptures to say a silent prayer and bowed. After the prayers and chantings were over, it was time for lunch. We were offered Langar (food made in the communal kitchen) considered as blessing from the Guru. All the preparation, the cooking and the washing-up is done by voluntary helpers called Sewadars.
After this sacred and yummy meal, we set out to the science museum at St. Paul.
We had heard much about the "Body Worlds Museum” and wanted to see all those authentic human specimens preserved by plastination. But our hearts sank when we heard the prices (26 bucks per person) and we decided we weren’t science geeks after all :) We had a lot of fun in the experiment gallery. I was reminded of my younger days when my mom used to take me and my sister to the Birla planetorium/ Periyar science and tech centre in Kotturpuram,Chennai and we used to spend the whole day doing every experiment there.
I didn't care too much about the dinosaurs and collectors items. Apart from all this,there was an enjoyable show/ drama about Judge Oka of Japan and a scary egyptian mummy. That was one sunday!
