- News Item That touched Me ....There was one article in this month's Reader's Digest about Kamalbhai Parmar who is running a fabricating unit and who runsa school,rather a tution school for the poor students in Ahmedabad.It takes a large heart to start something like this.I do wish I can do something like that too.Atleast be able to teach in such effort .
- Books That I am reading now.....I am reading "Under Orders" by Dick Francis.Just started.Seems to be about issues in racing sport.

- Movies That I Liked.....I watched a Malayalam Movie called'Vastu Hara' in Kairali T.V.yesterday.The story touches about losers who migrate abandoning their personal properties during divison of countries and realtes to the creation of East Pakistan called East Bengal dividing Bengalis .Also running underneath the main issue is the personal loss of property which gets rejected by the Mother in the story who is offered the same back by her Husband's relatives.

My Day Today.
.........................
My Dear Rajesh,
01-03-2020. A Sunday. I went for meditation after a long gap. There was a wedding at Banneer Ghatta Road in Bengaluru,for Mumbai Vijaya and family. The days were18 th and 19 th. Vijaya is Dita Chithi's my mother's first sister's daughter ,3 years younger. You remember, Akhilesh her son and Manjula her daughter.
Both are married. They came for this wedding direct by flight from.Mumbai and on 20 th came to stay with me. Though me and Ranjini had taken permission for their visit and stay ,Appa made a ruckus. I feel sensitive about these things Rajesh. Everyone comes once in a way. Everyone' s lives are as tedious. I personally think if possible we must be tolerant. They were 5. Vijaya, Manjula and her husband Mahesh and their son Siddarth. Then Akhilesh. Akhilesh took lunch and went to his friend' s house to stay in the evening.So accomodation exactly was not a problem. Manjula is intelligent enough to Manage and she took the guest room where only one cot is there and laid with Mahesh on the cot,she down with Siddarth. So me and Vijaya in the double cot was ok.
But the boy was horrendous as children are now a days.
Anyway Appa is behaving very badly with me.
Previous to the visit of these people Ramachandran Mama had come and Appa hates him. So totally a mess.
I have to keep equilibrium but I also have started feeling that I have to take a step too.
In conflict,
Your' s affectionately,
Amma.
My Day Today.

My Dear Rajesh,
09-02-2020,a Sunday today.
Today is Appa ' s birthday. He is now 77 years-old.
A bit silent he is today.
I went for Sunday meditation to Banashankari ashram today with Ranjini.
Ranjini had her mother in law with her who was staying with her since 3 days.
All aging and getting depressed.For her Shankar and his wife is a worry.
Today Newzealand has defeated India and claimed the one day series. India had won the T20 series.
In the under 19 world cup India is meeting Bangladesh and match must be going on now. I have not subscribed for any sports channel and do can't watch.
Also just now reading is my interest.
Both Narayaneeyam and Bhagavad Puranam I am reading simultaneously.
Ranju might come with Ram to see Appa today.
In the above photograph, you are seeing Mani Periappa' s daughter Jyothi' s first daughter Krithika getting engaged to Gautham at Chennai some (resorts) yesterday. We did not go as all are at US and marriage might be in US.Also not much interaction with Jyothi etc as she too is at US.
More in details later.
Thinking if you my son.
Affly,
Amma.
My Day Today.

My Dear Rajesh,
Thinking of you being February 3 rd. 2020.
India has white washed Newzealand by winning all 5 one dayers.
The country is in turmoil as people have risen against CAA ( Citizen's Amendment Act) passed in.parliament. The populace living in India after 1971 belonging to Muslim majority facing problems.
Cash crunch is there . I find it difficult to reconcile.
Anyway winter is giving way to summer.
Affly,
Amma.
