24th May

Went for 45 minute walk. Visited dentist. Observed ekadasi fast. Spent the day reading newspapers and magazines. Read part of the book,' One Mind Many Thoughts', written by Pravesh Jain. It is a collection of his writings in the newspapers,The Pioneer and The Asian Age ,on contemporary issues, over the years. A friend has sent the following :
 "A father's advice
Today, my father told me, “Just go for it and give it a try! You don’t have to be a professional to build a successful product. Amateurs started Google and Apple. Professionals built the Titanic
Looking Back
Today, I interviewed my grandmother for part of a research paper I’m working on for my Psychology class. When I asked her to define success in her own words, she said, “Success is when you look back at your life and the memories make you smile.
 Try and U shall know
I am blind by birth. When I was 8 years old, I wanted to play baseball. I asked my father- "Dad, can I play baseball?" He said "You'll never know until you try." When I was a teenager, I asked him, - "Dad Can I become a surgeon?". He replied "Son, you'll never know until you try." Today I am a Surgeon, just because I tried! "
Retired to sleep at about 10.15 pm.
