It was on this day exactly 40 years back that John Lennon of 'The Beatles', one of the most liked soft rock bands of the '60s, was shot dead in his home in New York. He will be remembered by his fans for years to come.

Sabhari and Sabharimalaa
Amrita TV channel's Sandhyaa Dheepam is one of my favourite spiritual programmes. In this evening's programme, the speaker (shown in the screen shot below) mentioned that Sabhari Malaa in Kerala, which is popular due to Aiyappan temple, is where Sabhari, an old lady and a devotee of Lord Shree Raam, featured in 'The Raamaayanam', had her Aashram. (Though I am considered to be somewhat good in spoken Malayalaam, my reading skill is zero. Hence I don't know the speaker's name. I didn't hear his name as I was in the kitchen at that time).
