Report of 11 Feb 2018

Good evening!

Though darkening, the sky is till blue, as is the sea.  Lights are starting to come on outside buildings and on streets, and it is a pretty time.

It is nice to write.  We were on errands last Sunday, catching a movie ("Phantom Thread") and then going to see a very sick patient in the hospital.  Thus, late getting home and then writing had to be sacrificed to getting ready for a busy Monday.  The patient is better, thank goodness.  I received an excellent update from the ICU resident, and he tolerated all my questions.  Not everybody would.

The Banyan is nice.  Vandana, one of the two founders, received a prestigious award and will head stateside next month.  We are extremely happy at the recognition!  All of us are somewhat hopeful that the exposure will help us toward our corpus goal of Rs. 40 crores, or approximately $7 million.  The lack of money has never stopped the work here, so we will plonk on. 

I was driving to my private practice the other day, when I spotted something on the roadside and was unsure what it was until I drove closer.  It was a woman, stark naked, and lying on the roadside.  I pulled over and phoned our Kovalam branch; I thought later of my option to cover the lady with my dupatta - a diaphanous shawl won over tunic and long pants.  These brilliant ideas only occur later.  Fortunately, the team did get there quickly and took the lady to Kovalam.  I will see her tomorrow.  It is mighty nice to work for an organisation that can help with such patients.

Private practice is fine.  Not many patients and I am grateful, really, as it means good health might be reigning.

I will talk to my father later this evening.  We spoke to the boys earlier today and that was grand fun - so much candor, laughter and love.  For this, as always, I will be grateful.

May you have many reasons to be grateful yourselves.
