In the morning, Raj Patel and Ravi Kumar Sir told me that I had summary reading today - of Mr. Ashok Singhal's speech. So, took down (notes during his speech), but Gautam Sir gave complete speech ready. Practised after lunch (in AVC alone) - Amar Singh wrote summary of video Anant Jyoti. Read (out the speech summary) at 3:15 before K. K. Sir etc in Chem Lab (which had an entrance to the Auditorium backstage area), OKed. So, Chaitanya adjusted mic ...
From my 'Swami albums'. Caption is: "College Auditorium. 1995 Summer Course. Found in Hostel library book, July 1996." So, someone had found this photo more than a year later, and had given it to me. I believe this was the first and last time I spoke onstage in Your presence.
Though You gave me this 'summary' chance, I tried to evade with AVC excuse - Ravi Kumar Sir's "List has gone to Swami - you have to" was necessary. You made it smooth, though specs prevented me from kissing Your feet properly (only specs?) and I banged first table and then Your chair while getting up. Seeing You clap, though You must've done so for everyone, bucked me up enormously - Your satisfied expression.
