My cataract surgery

By God's Grace, I had my second cataract surgery a few days back and prescribed glasses. 

Although I am physically self dependent, as usual, my brother always offered his physical support to me immensely  by taking me to the Eye Clinic (that is located in the suburbs of the city) waiting at different counters and clinic rooms most often by standing (as seats were not vacant due to patient turn over). 

The Clinic staff were also very cordial.

My mother's death anniversary

According to our Maadhwaa community calender, today is the death anniversary of my beloved mother. As in every year after her demise, I and my brother performed the shraardaa ceremony that marks the occassion. I fondly remember my beloved parents. 

Traditional New Year Day

People in many regions such as Kerala and Tamilnadu in India celeberate today as traditional new year day. Besides, people in countries such as Cambodia in South East Asia celeberate today as the beginning of their new year. I have mentioned the historic evidences of the influence  of Indian regional  kingdoms in the South East Asia in my earlier posts.

Best wishes to all those who celeberate this day.

ABC AUSTRALIA and Aljazeera

As I would have mentioned earlier, Aljazeera and ABC AUSTRALIA have been two of my favourite TV Channels.

It was pleasure viewing a program on Guyana on Aljazeera and one on a music fest in Simpson Desert in Australia, this evening.

Hanumaan Fest

Today is a very auspicious day in the Hindu Calender. It is celeberated as 'Hanumad Jayanthi', birth anniversary of Shree Hanumaan, the greatest devotee of Lord Shree Raam, an Avataar of Shree Mahaa Vishnu.
