4th & 5th August

On 4th visited State Bank of India, Parliament Street. Sanjaya rang up for sending a status report of the Frigoglass case to their auditors. Sent the same. Felt feverish and tired, took a dysprin which relieved me. On 5th visited Dr. Mishra to show him the requisite reports of Venita for treatment of her diabetes. He charged me Rs.1500/- as his consultation fee. He is the most expensive consultant I have come across so far. But his approach to Venita's problem is comprehensive and unlike of the other consultants. I hope his treatment will work and the level of blood sugar of Venita reduce. Dr. Mishra is the head of Fortis group of hospitals in NCR and also has his own clinic. We saw him in his clinic. The following write-ups in the Indian Express dated August 4 at the page nos. 10 & 11 are revealing,caught my attention and are given below:
1) Jaithirth Rao in page 10.
"I think it is a mistake to categorize India as a soft State. It is certainly not a hard one. It is flexible one with deep survival instinct. Our science school teacher would tell us that grass blows with the breeze but never gets uprooted however strong the wind."
2) David Brooks at page 11.
"There are two ways of thinking about life - one centers on the individual and the other on circumstances."
3)Ajit Deval at page 11.
"The majority of encounters are mostly to murderous attacks on security personnel. On an average 1,200 policemen get killed every year."
The Indian Express carries thought provoking write-ups in its center page almost everyday and may be read by us as far as possible.
