I wish I could have happier thoughts and feelings a little more often in my life. But then so does everyone.

The university reopened on first August this year Sandie. I have two full years left.... but the joy of a new term has gone out of my life as i negotiate a very troubling and badly structured and poorly thought out academic program. Higher education is in such a bad place that August does seem to be a most dismal month.

Have thought a lot of all of you and often... Wishing Supriya a smooth August.. and all of you as well.. Shashank's luminousity is incandescent.. Sandie..'....and I m sure the fellowship will be announced on the day it is scheduled for.

Much love to all of you and hugs.. dear friend.... and I am deeply admiring of the continued grace under pressure that you and Ravi practise and live..

(George Bernard Shaw in one the essays we both read at school spoke about the fact 99 percent of human lives were similar .

My parents anniversary also falls in August, so do the birthdays of my son, my niece and a favourite sister in law... ( but now i find July difficult to go through because we lost Dad on the 27th of July..,, a year before he would have turned 90)

At this stage ..we continue to be wtness to all manner of new refractions in our lives.)

New refractions in our lives - that's a good phrase. Thank you, Ratna.

Belated birthday greetings to Supriya. A hug to you at this difficult time. I hear you loud and clear. Just a hug to share and let you know you are not alone.

Thank you, dear friend. Knowing I am not alone is the only thing keeping me going from day to day with some measure of sanity.
