Pillaiyar Chaturthi

I don't know who sang the song - it is funny & interesting, and the singing is good with clarity. I will ask Vasanthi where she got the fwd from.

Rajiv, Nameeta & I went to Pune early yesterday for Ganesha Chaturthi. Rajiv performed the puja with Nameeta's thatha's instructions. We came back in the evening itself as Rajiv had to go for a recording this morning.
Performance anxiety has set in for the 16th pgm - more prayers for that!!

Yes, here too we have had some dispiriting news from many sides. Nameeta's mother is suffering pretty badly from sciatica. Undergoing some acupressure treatment. (Jay) Kanchana's mother came down with cold-cough-fever which developed into breathing difficulty. She has been in the ICU on ventilator for a week now, her left lung is badly infected, but all test results show negative. She is being given broad spectrum medicines, and has shown a slight improvement since yesterday, but still not completely out of danger.
Only one thing we can do with all sincerity - pray for their recovery.
On top of this came news of Charu's Kannan anna's demise. After class with Vamanan in Chembur this afternoon, I plan to go to Matunga to see Veni manni & Charu's mother and Subhashree.
Commuting in Bombay was always time consuming and tiring. it has become more of a nightmare now.
