After bath by 6 am, writing diary from 8th onwards! Forgot diary in Sai Ramesh Hall (SRH), hence ... My right ankle is quite sore. Hopefully today's rest may alleviate. SRH - even after interviews, 9:50, S. G. Sir didn't return from Hostel, "I'll be back." When I went for him, Baleshchettan (my father's cousin met me). Showed Sridharachettan (Father's brother) + Edathiamma + somebody else (Perinthalmanna Unni uncle's brother etc.) Went back to SRH, suspect disgruntled Edathiamma. Except dubbling a bhajan cassette for S. G. Sir, no other work (his Aiwa is spoilt). Ankur, Sridhar, Rajasekhar (one year junior to me, so in 2nd year undergraduate now) sorting wires, arranging AVC. Sridhar's influence - good or bad?
SRH - Sir came at 3:50 pm, Swami came out when we reached K'Mantapam - ran, mics on just as Swami went out. Stared as He went past. Power failed, I went to stand near the changeover switch in the drizzle. After Arati, found K'Mantap. (Meaning that there was to be a Kalyanamantapam session). They had already arranged and tested. I again opted for translator's mic. Justice Bhagawati, BS Vijaya Sai, "MBA boy" Akhilesh, then Anil Kumar Sir spoke. Swami gestured, Chaitanya put Swami's mic tho' He didn't want it. So, it remained there till Anil Kumar Sir finished, then Swami spoke.

My eyes were burning in the middle (of the Discourse), so kept them closed. Feverish (excitement?).
Mind is restless as it has 10 wives (senses). Uttanapada, Dasaratha examples of how even 2 or 3 wives couldn't be managed. Students follow parents. Have gratitude. If you get angry, repeat to yourself, I am man, not donkey.
