Nice to see Vimala smiling in spite of the pain she must be having and the inconvenience.

Once, I jumped into a swimming pool in Woodlands Hotel without bending my legs to see if the water would buoy me up and ended up having a minor crack in the foot which needed a plaster and 21 days rest. Later when playing tennis (in Coonoor, in the UPASI touornament) the lace in one shoe got untied, I stepped on it with my other foot, the foot got twisted - result, a crack in the other foot. I continued playing in the tournament for another two days with Rallis Spray and found out on returning to Madras that it was a crack - 21 days again. I used the 'holiday' to do a lot of reading. But my office sent word to me to somehow attend an important meeting of the Fertiliser Association of India and sent me a car. The meeting was on the first floor and I went up hopping on one foot from step to step.

My mother...in plaster cast...still smiling!

We should all try to keep the blog going. I myself can take up the lead but if a younger person takes it, it can be for a longer time. Anyway, I request Jayashankar to mail to me the list in Jayaram's computer giving the dates of weddings and births in the family. He had collected the information from all the persons in PSC family.

I do not enjoy sitting before a computer very much. So, I have not learned how to upload pictures songs etc in the blog or facebook. Vivek refuses to teach me and says I am a bad student whereas he is a bad teacher.

Anyway I will try to learn somehow and make the blog interesting. Akila is very active in facebook as also Aishwarya. They should contribute more to the blog.

I wonder whether at least now some of those who claim to be silent participants will like to make their presence felt.
