Happy Birthday

Completed 27 years on 27th April 2013. Took a day off from the college. Vimal Pambhar was here for his final dissertation presentation at Ganpat University. I and Kiran Patel went to Mahudi (Jain Temple) on his new Activa and Anand Sutariya and Vimal Pambhar came directly from Mahesana. Our plan was to go to Tirupati Nature Park, Visnagar after taking darshan at Mahudi, but due to the summer heat we canceled the plan and returned back towards Gandhinagar for a visit to Amarnathdham, near Swapna Srushti Water Park on Mahudi-Gandhinagar Highway. While returning back from Mahudi, a man overtook from the wrong side in his car to which Vimal showed his hand. Later the man came near us and took out a wooden rod from his car and beat Vimal on his hand. He thought that Vimal abused him with words while he was driving his car on the wrong side. Meanwhile, Anandbhai and Kiran too came. Seeing them, he went away driving his car. After visiting Amarnathdham, we came home and rested

Hanuman Jayanti

Today, it's Hanuman Jayanti , the birthday of Lord Hanuman. I have been always fascinated by Him; mostly because of his strength, looks and his fearless nature. Also, as a child, when we used to fear dark nights we were told to recite his name. I also learnt Hanuman Chalisa by heart and the Hanuman Chalisa sung by Gulshan Kumar of T-series was played by me innumerable times. Those were the days of cassette player. I played the cassette almost everyday before going to school. In between some years while still in school, we also used to frequent His temple on Saturdays on Station Road, Bharuch. Sometimes we also visited Gumandev temple near Bharuch. Occasionally I also observed fasts on Saturdays. On one such Hanuman Jayanti in the year 2000, I went to Vartej alone in bus for the first time. Many many happy returns of the day Hanumanji. May you guide us, bless us and give us strength to overcome the obstacles of life.
