1992-12-31 - Thursday - New Year's Eve

Condensing multiple days into a single page, since the content is limited.

1992-12-26 - Saturday - Only Sanskrit class. 2 stanzas only. Rest free. (Only) 25 boys (turned up) for Suprabhatam. Afternoon 3:30 to 5 marched - synchronized marching. Took "Best of O Henry" from library. Also reading "Oliver Twist". "First Blood" (shown, but I didn't go.) Wrote to Swami and home as A3 (parents and sister) had asked to do so in letter from Prasanthi Nilayam. News from watchman Philip - Swami in white, 15 minutes silver door, happy with school. Also, Swami happy with foreigners' drama.

1992-12-27 - Sunday - Today, no one woke up for Suprabhatam from our room. 3rd day in a row. On a hat trick. Had practice of synchronized marching morning and evening, rest of the time O Henry, with Ravi Kiran's dictionary.  

1992-12-28 - Monday - No classes except Sanskrit and Chemistry. All free, then Physics Practicals. Read Saki, Oliver Twist, Holmes' contemporaries. Reading all this stuff isn't good in the spiritual line. Got a lot of words, but not thinking of Swami at all. The problem is addiction. Anything + addiction = out of Shruti. (out of tune.) That has been my problem since I was a kid. Must have vairagya, with less connections and less talk. 

1992-12-29 - Tuesday - Only Maths and Sanskrit. Ordered 4 photos of Swami, old ones. Two books - one on space exploration - Arthur C. Clarke, and the other on Management with Dinosaur brains. These phases of 'in and out of Shruti' must stop. Marching with Ratnakar's (batchmate in BCom, and roommate) cap as of now. News from Panja (school batchmate who came to write ICWAI exam), commandos training Parthi boys! on Swami's orders! Vedam class still goes on after Bhajans tho DSS absent (due to) drama. Santhosh working at 1-2-3 in Compu lab. Siki father (came to visit him), sweets.

1992-12-30 - Wednesday - Nothing much. Going out of Shruti, not remembering letter to Swami. 

1992-12-31 - Thursday - Assembly, MAK (Principal) wished us (on the New Year) and distributed calendars of Swami from Japan. Tomorrow onwards classes are suspended (for Sports Meet practice.) Did Chemistry practicals titration in 45 minutes. Chemistry and Language were the only two classes. 

Next: 1993
