Rain - Swami came into our (amplifier) room - was looking outside when bhajans started - we were adjusting volume etc. I was too occupied with all that to notice You! I'm taking You for granted!
Trayee session started with plague - Delhi also - said Swami. Bombay many. Parents wrote to Parthi, "Don't send sons in holidays." Gopal Rao - how are you? Has he given up? (Drink). Earlier, they used to abstain on Monday, Thursday, Saturday, etc. Now, brahmins - Pandito Samadarshanah - so every day is the same!
Dr. Safaya - Ophthalmology starting this birthday - "25 crores", said Swami - equipment alone. "Every three years, full set of new instruments - 5 crores - other places use the same for 20 years!" P. G. Course at SSSIHMS recognized by National Board! Pingali (?) bowled over. Diploma in cardiology, nephrology, later ophthalmology. Equivalent to MCH, or Phd. Two students each, stipend Rs. 5000/6000! Equivalent to FRCS. Swami said, "Two boys are ready" - showed them - "doing final year - Patley's brother - I am paying - 5 lakhs + 20,000 per month! Nurses also, I am paying them." Dr. Safaya - Morbidity rate lowest in the world - 1.5%! Later, talking of Ophthalmology - putting eyes of dead in living also, not just cataract surgery! Anil Kumar Sir - equipment better than AIIMS, Shankar Nethralaya.

Later, on dowry - one crore - girl buys boy, "Sit down!" - he has to sit! Kerala - Kanya shulkam - opposite. Foreigners - husbands bend to wife, don't sit before they do - money is with wife - respect. Rises when wife comes, etc.
