Dear Bhagavatas:
After posting the above issue, I noticed a couple of omissions in the Report on
my trip to India.
1. I requested Sri Sadagopan Iyengar Swami, Srikaryam Swami of SDDS to bless me
with his company for Saatrumurai Darsanam at Tirumalai. In deference to my
request, in spite of his busy schedule, he came all the way from Coimbatore and
arrived around 3.30 am at Tirumalai to be right in time for the Sevai. Because
it was still dark, he had an accidental fall in the ditches excavated in front
of the main Gopuram and had a sprained foot. Despite this he stayed on for the
Seva and hurriedly left for home immediately thereafter.
2. Another omission was my attending a marriage at T.Nagar during my
extended stay on 18th August 2005.
What is so special about attending a marriage?
And, it is this:
The wedding was for the grand daughter of Sri A. Rangarajan, my colleague in
Loyola College, Madras. He was a Co-editor with me in the Manuscript magazine
called "KalaivaaNi" that we were running during our College days way back in
1940s Sri Nadodi, the famous Journalist of the time was the President of
Tamilnadu Manuscript Magazine Editors of which we were members.We were also
running a Social service youth organization called "Mambalam Forum" for several
years conducting free Hindi Classes with the help of Sri Bahukudumbi
Srinivasaraghavan, (who passed IAS and was serving in United Nations) and also
Free Adult education classes for the rural poor with the active help of Sri
Sundaravadivelu, (who was then Educational
Officer of Corporation of Madras and later became Education Secretary of
Tamilnadu Govt.)
This is not all.
Not only did I attend the marriage of this Sri A. Rangarajan but also the
marriage of his son Gopi with the daughter of another colleague of mine in the
Office (Sri Kannan) and now his granddaughter witnessing the weddings of three
generations in a row!
A kind of hat trick, this?
