1994-11-22 - Tuesday - PM in a spot!

Everything is in PC (meaning that all the functions for the Birthday celebrations are in the Poornachandra auditorium and not the Stadium). Morning - Dr. Venugopal's felicitation was just an excuse for You to get the PM to listen to Your authentic voice. Wonderful words - praise for SSSIHMS, then asked PM for two things -
(1) water for Rayalaseema - water going waste into the sea must be diverted - some monetary considerations - I am prepared to give 100 to 200 crores.
(2) (PM in a spot!) Whenever I go to Bangalore, I see poor animals to the slaughter. Being a PM from Andhra, you must see that this slaughter is stopped!

After You finished, You asked PV something - he nodded vigorously, as if saying he will do. You had mentioned that selling food, medicine, and education had brought country to ruin. After medicine and education, You've come to food! Earlier, You mentioned inhuman doctors fleecing, treating only the rich. Shoe shouldn't be too big nor too small - too much greed is not good.

Rammohan sir called me to help Mr Prakash bind "Sai Chandana" at the Press - so, did that 10:30 to 11:30 am and 1 to 2 pm. Convocation 4 to 6:30 or 7:30 pm or more. Drama 8:15 to 10 pm - Surdas. Surdas wasn't too good, as Shivkumar overacted the blind sorrow bit. Also, mics horrible. In the (evening Convocation) Discourse, You stressed patriotism and practical knowledge. Knowledge without action is useless action without knowledge is foolishness.
