Morning news - exam advanced to tomorrow! So, b'day present is diligence. I was lazing with newspaper. Afternoon, prepared groundnuts (for taking to Mandir - the procedure was, collect roasted groundnuts from the kitchen, and remove the skin.) Couldn't study much in Mandir - mugged opcode/operand field order, studied in study hours. Muthachan's (maternal grandfather) letter - sending Feynman lectures & Goldstein! What a b'day present! You're overloading me! Jain & Anand from A3, too!
When You came (close to us birthday boys) - only during bhajans - busy with guests interviews - straight to me first! Looking straight at me! Kneeled straight, I'm not afraid of You now! You took yellow rice from mine, moved over to Primary ... I touched Your feet (head couldn't reach) You came back to Ad Block Sir on my right - I lifted up box thinking 'clove' & smiling - You placed Your hand firmly on my head in blessing - truly unanticipatable ... all possible things I thought of, as I guessed, You did something else! O What a joy! Trace of a smile ... Went off towards gate, leaving me singing bhajans with a tremulous lip. You filled my eyes ...

On the way back, You stepped carefully on Prabhakar Rao Sir's mat, looked carefully at the book beside, went in ...
Satya (classmate) telling me of Ravi Pisharoty of Pune in Burn India, brought me out of the zone. I was slightly hyper-excited - talking loudly ... But studied well after putting the rice / cloves / peanuts away - for A3 (parents and sister), roommates, respectively.
