Condensing multiple days into a single page, since the content is limited.
1992-07-21 - Tuesday - No more Chem practicals for the other practical batch - Sir angry as didn't own up who exchanged stoppers. Phy prac Sir absent. Tournaments for shuttle badminton and TT (Table Tennis) going on - I didn't give my name. Played ball badminton in the morning. Gopi Sir (our Physical Instructor) spoke of some Kodai experiences. Parayanam - Dr. Bhagavantam's stories - when Dr. C. V. Raman saw created ring on Bhagavantam's finger, put it in aqua regia in IISc. Next day intact. So, C. V. also came and met Swami. Swami (G. D. told us) blasted Advani and Chandraswami, hence their decline.
1992-07-22 - Wednesday - Sanskrit - aiming to complete whole portion of 1st semester by Mid-Semester - Venkatesh Rao Sir. Some yellowish portions he said he won't dictate in class, but we should take down translation and gave a book - still he tells us "hear and forget" "subhashitani". Obviously nothing on paper.
1992-07-23 - Thursday - Our room got cleanliness II prize. (In those days, there used to be a room cleanliness prize awarded every week by the Warden, who would go around the rooms and check them once we go to college in the mornings. The prize was a hamper of foodstuffs, if I remember correctly.) Olympics to be shown every day, recorded, morning 6 to 7. English - very behind schedule. Mr. Y. Narasimhamoorthy, humourist, spoke in Moral class. Last joke was terrific - asking owner of house for W(ater) C(loset) and getting details of W(embly) C(hurch).
1992-07-24 - Friday - Chem zero hours every day is really boring. No time also now. For Additional English boys, (G. D.) Sir showed "Beauty and the Beast" as KLN Swami Sir is at Parthi. Parayanam - Sir is telling us how Swami was making "boys happy as they made Swami happy". When Swami received letters praising boys' work for 50th B'day - Swami would all boys to the upstairs room and tell them stories of Old Mandir, talk to them some 10 hours a day!
1992-07-25 - Saturday - Wrote notemaking on blackboard in English class. A3 (parents and sister) phoned, will come on 8th. Hogging lots of jam and half a loaf of bread daily.
1992-07-26 - Sunday - Morning worked at arranging Christian books and labelling them (at the College Library). Did Maths. Simply, did. Decided must stop, as experiments lead only to waste of energy, no progress.
1992-07-27 - Monday - Swami came in dream, got nice padanamaskar - I was sitting in the front at Parthi. Still, after that - proves it is only for the pleasure. No Chem practicals as centrifuge is being repaired.
