13th December

Completed morning program. Visited GPO to drop new year cards as well as birthday greeting cards to Pilku and Ruchi. Visited Escorts hospital to collect the reports prescribed by Dr.Arora(Urologist).The reports are normal. The Uriflow report shows some deficiency but the experts say that it is alright and normal keeping in view my age.Visited Precision Dental Center at Sarita Vihar for extraction of two broken teeth as well as crowning of one which has been root cannaled. Paid Rs.1800/- for ceramic capping of the tooth. The dentist took the print of the tooth to prepare its crown.Spent over 3 hours in the chamber for professional and personal work.
A friend met me a few days back and said, "Despite taking care of my wife, Aarti, I could not change her nature.I'm in early 60's,as you know, but she is scathing. She humiliates me particularly in front of her blood relations. All her relations listen her with amusement, but none objects. She is very convincing in telling a lie. She also humiliates my blood relations. She did not spare my father too. Once she humiliated him also quite badly. I could not imagine the way she did it. My father did not even complain of it to me. I came to know from another source. I, however, did not check with my father. I wish I should have. I cannot now as he is no more. Now when she misbehaves I don't react. I keep mum. There is no other way I can deal with her."
After listening to my friend I told that he was following the right course. It was not possible to divorce at this late stage and in the Indian context. My friend was feeling light after talking to me his heart. I told him that he could talk to me anything to release his tension. It is better to talk than to keep it to yourself.
Read the interview of a Sufi singer in the Indian Express of today, supplement 'Eye', in the last page. He said that spirituality to him was oneness with the universe. Once we realized it and serve others as much as we can, the screen between us and God would go.Then we would see Him.
Retired to sleep at 11pm.
