DAY 1673

Jalsa, Mumbai Nov 15, 2012 Thu 11 : 45 PM

The lights and the ‘shagun’ fireworks at Prateeksha and at the gates and insides of Jalsa .. signalling and inviting the godess Laxmi to enter our homes and bless us with her divine presence. The playing of cards on that day is to invoke money games in order that we are able to link with the goddess of wealth, the godess Laxmi.

It has been a quiet day in Mumbai because of the condition of Bala Saheb Thackeray. The roads have been deserted, shops and windows have been shut, and quiet but volatile calm seems to have prevailed as a result of the uncertainty of the matter. That is how they had desired and that is how they came. The condition is still uncertain on his health, all one can say for now is that information on his demise and medical condition are forming the stuff of rumour mongering, and this is leading all astray. I do believe that his condition should only be disclosed through his relatives and the doctors, before everyone else is becoming too ambitious, and would rather take statement giving as a need to get them seen in front of the cameras … but that does not always happen !!

All your wishes for Aaradhya’s birthday, her first, and therefore full of special effects and wishes. Thank you so much for it …

I wish to turn in early again and each day my wish to write comprehensively fails, but I shall not give up, and soon hopefully give more detailed descriptions of how the days so far have passed …

Love to you
