1995-06-27 - Tuesday - starting work with foyer mics

1995-06-23 - Friday - You woke me at 4:45 - slightly cool under the fan... Fresnel's equations Optics practicals. Optics and microprocessor theory classes - both dragging. Returning from college to leaving in lines for Mandir - only 10 minutes to have a wash etc. Study hours - Optics record, then tail-end of Shailesh Sir's parayanam - goose pimples - we're watching it happen. I sat 9:30 to 10:50, he started at 8:30 or so.

You decided to pour a lot of grace on me, through Shailesh Sir. First - Mandir - You walked through the boys, making Your own paths to see the work (going on in the Mandir) from different angles - one boy next to me. "Where are you from, boy?" to neighbour, Kerala. "Not that I don't know, asking four times, just for the joy that Swami spoke to you." (Asked about) Menu from Venkatachalam Sir, talked for 5 minutes with 1st MBA/MFM boys who were asking for something. Standing outside and talking. Devotees also get chances if they're disciplined. Hearing bhajans and parayanam by Shailesh Sir in B13 - 8 to 11 pm! Thought Your grace was reciprocative of all the good work going on in the Hostel.

1995-06-24 - Saturday - You woke me at 4! Feeling cold. And I got up. So, letter to Jain Sir - 3 sheets of pad, closely. Only one hour useful - Prof's tensors. Rest wasted in hunting for ADC 0803 specifications, finally found at 2:45. Sleepy in Mandir. Rain - You went back in Electric car (open except roof). C++ self test.

Feeling sleepy in Mandir due to "weakness" due to stomach problem or due to sleep last night?

You came to portico, pointing to (rain) water on marble - "Kaise aaya? Boys - number 1? Toilet nahin hai kya? Bad boys ..." (joking, of course). Looking at Ketan Handa who spoke in foyer - "reciprocation by Love certain" who was contemplating on You.

1995-06-25 - Sunday - 5:45 am - bath - Mandir - eating - sleeping - record - C++ - Mandir - record - sleep at 11 o'clock, as 3rd years' program on lawns - Dr. Bhatia spoke 10:30 to 11!

Overslept - 5.45. Not chirpy as hungry. Slept till 12, then also only washing etc. Procrastination - tensors & Classical Mechanics. Evening also a little drowsy. You said, 'Work, danger of falling stones, so don't come for darshan for 4 days.' Later relented as we sat away from "danger area" in the evening. Parting boys, making aisles, loving.

1995-06-26 - Monday - 2 hours free in the morning! But after writing KBR's record, no useful work in hostel - wasted time. Told Muralikrishna (one year senior to me, if I remember right) I'll come for foyer mics (setting up the PA system for the morning assembly at college) tomorrow. Saw quote at the bottom of this page just now! (which said, Service to Man will help your Divinity to blossom). KBR - again go and prepare. El derroche ... TWILW - talking about it. (I think TWILW is Time Waste is Life Waste).

You took cloves from both birthday boys! Went with "Jamsaab" in the car (bearded gent). As You made me sing bhajans full throated with a little concentration, & sat and thought of You as You went to Poornachandra, blank mind - You're turning me onward? Bought Vishu flower photo from Baba studio as Tarak wanted passport size. When equalize TWD (Thought, Word, Deed) - more difficult is T with others), You shower.

1995-06-27 - Tuesday - Classes as usual, Optics practicals went to Hostel as Satya & co hadn't finished their experiment. Initiated into foyer amp management by Muralikrishna. Got xerox of ordered books - Rs. 78 total. Spent a long time - half an hour or three-quarters of an hour - stapling.

Told Muralikrishna I'll come for foyer sessions --> You gave me padanamaskar! You're bringing me back from the switched off state to the receptive state. Glanced at me, too.
