Today is World Children's Day. Amidst global terrorism, poverty, ecological imbalances due to human meddling with nature, growing crime rates, etc., abuse of children seems to be growing in many communities. Let us hope that all governments consider childcare and education as one of their main objectives.

Today is the birth anniversary of Rani Lakshmi bai of Jhansi, Uttar Pradesh.
I remember a few months that I spent in Lalitpur, near Jhansi, as Principal of a school named after Rani Lakshmi Bai. I remember my nice colleagues such as Mrs Renu Bansal, Mrs Ametha Singh and Mr Selvaraj. I remember Ms/Mrs Geetha, the cook, who used to serve delicious Aloo paratha and other items with kindness to staff and students.
Today is also the birth anniversary of Mrs Indira Gandhi. She was one of our best Prime Ministers.

Today is the birth anniversary of Leonardo DiCaprio. He acted in several Hollywood movies. One of his most popular movies is 'Titanic' in which he acted as Jack Dawson, a poor immigrant paasenger with typical Yorkshire accent. This movie hit all time records in movie charts. Let me share the Titanic's title song 'My heart will go on' sung by legendary singer Celine Dion. (I nostalgically remember my having seen the movie in Mahesh Reddy's house in Chittoor, AP in 1998 on his invitation. I think that it was the day before I joined Camford English School as Principal; Mahesh was Correspondent of the school. Being the place of my birth, Chittoor has a special place in my heart).
Happy birthday, Leonardo.
Heartfelt condolences to the families of Shree Delhi Ganesh and Shree Indra Soundarrajan who passed away recently. These two will be remembered by their movie and literature fans respectively for years to come.
It was spiritually enlightening to view Shreemad Bhagavath Kathaa by Shree Raghavacharyaji Maharaj on Aashtha TV Channel this morning. He explained the difference between 'prem' and 'mogh' and why we should have prem and not mogh. He gave examples of Bhaarath Maharajaa (from whose name our country got it's name) and Jatabharath.
Jai Shree Lakshmi Naaraayanaa🙏.
