24th to 30th June

The Sai Bhajan Sandhya was organized by a devotee in the society on 25th. Venita attended it. Sai devotional songs have a mesmerizing effect and take you to a different world altogether. Music takes you sometimes to a level where you feel one with the reality which is Truth, Beauty and Well Being of all (Satyam, Shivam, Sundaram). The feeling calms you. It is the tits & bits of the world which make you pray and pine for divinity to help when you are in troubles and you cannot do anything but to seek for the divine blessings along with whatever temporal actions one can take if at all one is capable of taking.There are many in the society who cannot do much due to their poor means. The son of the devotee who organized the Sai Bhajan Sandhya is suddenly detected to be suffering from leukemia.The following lines of Shankkar Aiyar in India Today, dated July 5th 2010, page 16, caught my attention "More committees are being reincarnated to visit old issues, indecision has been outsourced to create smokescreen or douse potential issues". Heard the interview of Professor Ashish Nandi, who is a well known psycho-socio-analyst. It was illuminating. On 26th could not sleep after 1.20 am. Could not diagnose the cause. After a good 5-6 hours sleep during the day I felt normal. On 27th Munna and his family came for a stay with us. He accompanied me during morning walk.On 28th left at 10.30 am on way to Ganganagar after a visit to his sister's house in Noida. Neha and Babua came on 29th. After spending about 2 hours with 2 kids living in the flat opposite to our's Babua spent the remaining time with me, painting and playing one game or the other. After finishing one game he would say what next game we would play. On my suggesting a next game he would play with me & so on so forth. Once he asked me "Are you my Dada. Are you my papa's papa?". I said "Yes". I noticed a curious smile on his face , which I have not been able to decipher. He came at about 10.30 am and left at about 5.15 pm. I implored Neha to stay overnight sometimes so that we can spend a little more time with Babua. I went to Cafe and brought a chocolate muffin for him. On 30th, Venita's eye checkup took place at Center for Sight, after the Avastin injection on 22nd. Earlier Dr.Talwar had seen her eyes on 23rd also. There is good result. It will be clear only after 3 weeks when OCT(Angiography)is done. Read a funny news in TOI. It says that some people are constructing a temple with an unusual deity, namely, English language. It is to be inaugurated on 25th Oct.2010 in UP, which is also 210th birth anniversary of Thomas Babington Macaulay.
