7 o'clock at Auditorium - Film Generator (75 kVA) truck! Connected by 8, bhajans, H'thappa's speech, then Discourse. Helped wind up - packing amps to Parthi etc, packed luggage, lunch, loaded bus, APSRTC 6 buses + 3 for Primary School etc. Started at 12:30. Bhajans at 6 o'clock.
I'm in B11 (room of Prasanthi Nilayam Hostel - at that time, it continued to be a combined Hostel for college and higher secondary school). Satyanarayan Kumar is my co-room-leader. Other 1st MSc (Phy) boys are in A1 & A4. 2nd MSc (Phy) mixed in 3 rooms + 4 room leaders. Dinner at Canteen. Amar Singh's conversation of electricals on Notice Board.
Valedictory address - latter part - I could see, by standing up and seeing over VC's head (on chair). Giridhara Gopala ... thrilled us. You were "fumbling" with the words of almost every bhajan this Summer Course ...
The journey to Parthi seemed very sudden, seemed unannounced - and what are we to do there till 1st? When will You come? At Parthi, construction going on in Mandir - maybe You won't come for a long while ... But new Hostel slated to finish by Gurupoornima - hope that at least then ...
Photo of Your Hostel visit in 2003 - I can be seen with the recording equipment in the background, and room B11 would be approximately above my head - from this page - Sri Sathya Sai Hostel - A Saga of Divine Love
