The Tilak

I went to Prayag yesterday. Sangam. After staying in Allahabad for 2 years. Basically the motive was to go for boating.
One of my friends started to wash his sins. I did it too. Everyone else was doing it. Sometimes its better to join the crowd.
Then we went to the Hanuman Temple, which is quite famous as folk has it that the Ganga comes inside the temple to wash His feet. It was the second time in 2 years that I had gone to a temple.My friend's first.I put the orange tilak on my forehead.
We bought Masterstroke, Bacardi and Romanov. Had bought for five of us, was consumed between 3. I had left drinking, the excuse was to get totally drunk. It was the last time.
A peg, 2. Quarter. Half. another.
It sure was memorable , though nothing is clear in my mind.
The only thing that i remember is me staring at my face and the orange tilak on it.
