1992-08-21 - Friday - Sanskrit grammar, lots of homework. Chem. very boring - to tell us story of atom, Narahari Sir is reading from notes he made for a proposed slide show. To keep awake, have to laugh at sleeping fellows. Wrote letters to Jouher (Calicut school classmate - he was the top ranking Muslim candidate in the state for Class X SSLC exam) and Cheriyamma (my aunt - mother's younger sister) and Co. Former demanded, latter, for Gouri (my cousin) birthday Aug 17 and Cheriamma's (bad) back.

1992-08-23 - Sunday - Morning library work. Then went to Phy lab - Jain Sir gave DMM (digital multimeter), oscilloscope! Assembled (amplifier circuit) on breadboard using desoldered 810, but couldn't test as power failed.
1992-08-24 - Monday - Maths - head of department Prof Naidu came (from Prasanthi Nilayam) - so Gunaranjan (IIIrd yr) seminar on Data Structures to combined Maths class - all went over my head. Chem Sir unhappy with boys' lack of enthusiasm. Told me to rewrite Chem observations. Opinion poll showed only 4 boys wanted story to continue. Earlier, decided to tell Sir to stop story as boys not interested, after Swami gave me that (option) when I took lots. Sir asked for the poll. Said won't feel bad, but will take syllabus fast.
1992-08-25 - Tuesday - Chem - syllabus started. No Phy pracs. So wrote delayed letter to A3 (Achan Amma Anch - parents and sister.) Simplex method is really frustrating. Took two extra Chem books - Quiz and Projects. Switched with Sanjay Krishna (IInd year). So now I am in breakfast serving. For lunch, mats (on which everyone sits, are) already spread. For breakfast, (we must spread the mats ourselves.) Decided to get up and brush before Suprabhatam, then sleep till six after Suprabhatam - 20 minutes. Prevents early morning toilet. Instead, go to toilet after breakfast, when fully awake.
1992-08-26 - Wednesday - Can return from games for serving* at 7. So bath and ragi ensured. LP - for 3rd years) and Physics seminars - must prepare. Morning sleep inducing talk by Prof. Naidu, sleepy throughout the day. Swami would have left for Hyderabad by direct flight from Parthi for inauguration of Kalyana Mantapam (4 crores) by PM. Would come on TV. Phy seminar - 1/3 chapter of gravitation.
1992-08-27 - Thursday - Mounam (practicing silence) for Energy. Otherwise, controlling is not possible. Math 101 Mult. Int. study hrs class. Bullet train. Phone call - waited till 10.15, didn't come. Chem record wrote intro rough draft. Cut open pen given by Swami, changed refill, stuck with cello tape, hey presto! Moral Class Swami Sir spoke and sang old songs.
1992-08-28 - Friday - Subrahmanyam Sir says M102 seminar should be ready by Monday. Very heavy breakfast. No dinner as door closed when went after Veda. Wrote 102 assignment, 101 notes. By now can wash 10 clothes with two buckets in 15 minutes.
