27th April

Could go  only for brisk walk for 45 minutes  Did pranayam for 15 minutes Visited PNB and Assam house. Dictated a letter in Assamese to Ratneswar Das .Visited CGHS and SBI  Pradeep came  Yash is stable and improving. No blood transfusion has been necessary since  May 2011 .Pradeep is contemplating to send Yash to school on part-time basis.He could appear in 6 monthly examination writing answers sitting in the library
In chamber from 1.30 to 5 pm.
Pravesh rang up. Could not go to him. He has been requesting for a visit.  He said that he wanted to discuss a case. I will try next week. I have unavoidable engagements on Sat and Sunday..
Pilku has been inquiring about Yash. He suggested a course of action for him. I rang up and wanted him to tell it to Pradeep when he was with me in the chamber.He said  that he was preoccupied in the office at that moment. He would talk to him during the week end.
I had sent a mail to the DGP, Assam yesterday to inform  Rtd. A.B. Naik Ratneshar Das, who was on duty with me for over 12 years, to talk to me. He talked to me today. He is fine. Pilku was keen to know about his welfare.
Aatish Taseer, author of  'Stranger to History and Noon', wrote in HT in center page today " It allowed the world to shape its idea of itself." 'It' in the sentence refers to India. He recommends a bit of  xenophobia to get over the complex. We recognize our talent, literature, art and philosophy after a seal of approval is given by the world. It is unfortunate. But it is fact. However I don't agree with Aatish that we need a bit of xenophobia to be own self. We can be own self if we look inwards,.do a bit of introspection, develop 'Drashta Bhav', see the reality and shun 'Bhokta Bhav'.In short, we need to practice Vipassana.
Retired to sleep at 11.15 pm.
