My Day Today.

My Day Today.

My Dear Rajesh,

31.07.2019, Wishing You A Very Happy Birthday my dear son. Missing you so very much.

Today I went to Lalbagh along with Ranju to buy some seeds for her vegetable producing soil bags. These bags are kept in her top most ceiling and a Gardner comes to tend them. She started this roof gardening as she had planned it in her independent house here. Also her basic acidity and stomach problems prefer to grow some vegetables at least which are free of pesticides. 

The country is suffering lots of health problems due to over addition of pesticides in farm produces. Especially in certain states the usage is too much as farmers do not want to incur losses due to pests infecting the crops.

This year the rains are a bit less and this flat is having water shortage as tankers are less due to ground water depletion. I am storing water now in some buckets. 

Politics is very bad now and party jumping quite common. Very negative traits are seen in this 21 St century. As they say " Kali Kaala " indeed. 

The picture I have displayed is Ranjini's music class after performing in Indira Nagar Gayana Sabha hall called " Purandhara Bhavana" last Saturday. I went for their anniversary celebrations on Sunday. I could not go and see Ranjini sing as on Saturday there was no permission for parents to come. You will be surprised to know that Ranjini sings classical. I will try copy pasting one of the audios for you.
Affly,
Amma.

My Dear Rajesh,

   I have  to give some updates regarding some news.
1. India lost the semi final against New Zealand 9th. New Zealand lost a very interesting World cup final on 14th.against England which had beaten Australia in the semi final on 11th. The 50 overs got tied leading to a super over which was also tied. But England won on the rule that they had more boundaries than New Zealand.🙄.But very ,very intense and a great cricketing match. Same day in the centre court at Wimbledon a great final was in progress between Roger Federer and Novak Djacovich. A hard fighting Novak overcame a thrilling tie breaker which ran to 13 games in the final 5 the set. All in all a great sporting week.
Next news is that Seetha Mami, Balu Mama, Chitra and her children Varum and daughter Avantika visited on 13 th and left on 13 th.staying one night at Ranjini. The photo of the children are uploaded for you. More news after I return from meditation.
Affly,
Amma.

My Dear Rajesh,

Just now watching India and Newzealand world cup one day,50 overs match. Don't know which team will win,but generally Newzealand have beaten us in world cup. The world cup is happening in England. This match at Manchester. Newzealand is batting and we will have to bat second. Just now the second wicket fell. The second semi final is between England and Australia on 11th.
Today is 9 th.and this is July your birthday month. Though it looks clouded and dark no rains here so far. All Indian states are reeling under drought conditions.
Appa has gone to Vaniambadi and seems to have engaged himself in some sort of limited assignment.
On 12 th. Bala Mama, Seetha Mami,Chitra and son Varun and daughter Avantika visiting us. They will be leaving on 13th.So one day visit. Coming for lunch and possibly seeing Ranjini 12 th evening and then seeing Dhanam and Kannan and leaving.
Being 09-07-2019 I am thinking of you. Some troubles are felt more when there is no son. Just now TV connection gone and I feel if only you were there!!!. Being a flat the antenna or hub with many connections are getting disturbed.
I am signing off now.
Affectionately,
Amma.

Me and my thoughts.

My Day Today.
........................
My Dear Rajesh,

Today is 1 St.July 2019. This is your birth month. As I started typing I felt immense happiness. I remember the wait that I had before giving birth to you. I get the concept of some jiva for giving meaning to others lives. Also they are so good that they have to go away. Perhaps you were one. 
This year it seems the rains will be delayed. Haphazard monsoon and climate changes are everywhere. A global concern. Goverments are not led by socially good leaders. Government schemes are just on paper and not really working. Kali Yuga only.
Ranjini has gone for her music class. Did I write to you that Ranjini is singing.😊. She is and she is interested too. She is on a yo yo regime with regard to health. I hope she does not land as a sick person. 
On a day to day basis I am in a rhythm. I meditate and read certain numbers of stotram.
Rest in next.
Affectionately,
Amma.
