1994-08-16 - Tuesday - Got ACM and CTP papers - 43 and 40 resp! (out of 50, I guess). Prof and Swami very liberal. Highest of 46/47. Terrible headache in the afternoon - sinus - due to cold/cough. So, after eating bun butter and banana after Bhajans, slept. After dinner remembered Elec. record, so wrote that while Vishnu and co were doing altar work.
1994-08-17 - Wednesday - In the morning, Swami said something to S. G. Sir, evening gestured to start music/wait. Cold quite bad - phlegm. Mentally OK, but no feeling of being close to Swami. Letters to Swami from all boys, to call us into Trayee. Warden Sir meeting of room leaders - Friday is a holiday, so will put up altars for Swami in K'Mantap by tomorrow 9 PM. Night-outs sanctioned. But ours was the first room to sleep - 11 pm. Nylon rope cutting to make carpet and lawn (in the altar). Before that, I cut some gold paper for Sarva Dharma symbols. Finished two's-complement in one session - the first experiment that didn't spill over.
1994-08-18 - Thursday - Swami's calling the "monkey-posting" sevadal (young sevadals used to be posted to stand around Trayee, tasked with keeping away monkeys from the Trayee windows) almost every day, and saying something. Mr. Kumar Bhaskar, Parthi MBA faculty member, for Moral class. Jokes kept most boys awake. On Transactional Awareness. I was putting transparencies on Math Dept OHP (for the talk - most probably seated in the pit right in front of the stage). Afternoon - read Zbar for CE and CC amps (preparation for experiment). Wrote letter to A3, (parents and sister) too. SRH (Sai Ramesh Hall) - Swami was holding up the medallion on a devotee's scarf - only people of that country should go in! (for interviews). We soldered a jack, waited till interviews got over - Swami came out through main door, looked around, went in! Wrote program for Gauss elimination, Shell sort, Towers of Hanoi - the last one using recursion. Study hours - fixed up SSP (Solid State Physics) seminar material - browsed ISSP and a Xerox copy of "Neamem". Warden had it known that tomorrow not being a holiday, altar evaluation next week, Thursday.
1994-08-19 - Friday - Morning - computer practicals - wrote comments for all programs, also Towers of Hanoi and Newton Raphson. Printing using LISTER.PAS for record. Afternoon Basic Practicals. Photoelectric effect - only "familiarization" till 3.30 pm - many hitches. T. N. Seshan came - so no other interviews, but no Trayee session, either.
Photo from indiacontent.in showing T. N. Seshan (and Prime Minister P. V. Narasima Rao) along with others, seated in the Poornachandra auditorium with Swami.
Morning - wedding party interview. Swami came to the gate, saw them waiting there, asked Sri Gangadhar Shetty to tell them to sit down, went through door to stage after a few steps back and forth. Morning - monitors not connected by me - so Sir started the day with irritation. Evening - Swami commented on blaring harmonium while going out, so irritation. Irritation at me for telling Chaitanya to tell BSVSS "Swami told" - irritation at Chaitanya for not conveying verbatim. Dinner-time thought how less I think of You. Mind is full of petty thoughts - amps, practicals, lectures, S. G. Sir, bhajan recording. Laziness, lethargy, inertia - call it what you may, couldn't study in study hours - fixed up seminar with Jain Sir, that's all. Then wrote this. Sudhakar Pant (classmate of mine who was doing Bioscience and in the dispensary self-reliance group) for tomorrow's dentistry.
