I got this photo from a friend of mine- this is the Niagara Falls in 1911. Look at the beauty of the Snow covered and how close the people are to the falls itself. I don't know whether people can go this close now. But if they are allowed to go this close, then I would wish to go there sometime.

Apart from this there has been no other great work....

Ohhhhh...... I forgot....Today was "Aavani Avitam"- the Thread changing Ceremony if I can call it that way... Well that was an interesting story in itself. Pa had told that he would be sending all the necessary materials- including "Poonul(Sacred Thread), the sheet with all the date, month, year etc( Masa, paksha, Ruthu, Thiti etc) through courier- but I havent received it till this moment. But thank god I had the thread that I had after last year's ceremony. This is the second year in my "Brahmachaari" Life(that's a good 16 years) that I am outside my home for "Aavani Avitam". Today morning I woke up at 7.00 (quite early by the current standards, but very late for the rituals) still got to clean the room before I can embark on any ritual. So started to clean the room. My room (quite a studious guy- but the Novels he read had never been of any use for the exams) after a long wound out night was sleeping like there is no tomorrow. But cursing him in minds, I cleaned the room(for most of the dirt was the cigarette buds and the ash from the smoking.

Then started the rituals- but the sheet was of last year and hence all the "Data" given was for the last year. I didn't know what was today's exact thiti, paksham, etc..etc.... Leave it I did for last year only( No Data available). Now I have crossed the first hurdle. Tomorrow is Gayathri Jabham- Now I have all the necessary data. Got it from Pa - he called up. Tomorrow need to wake up early and finish off all the chorus before class... Lemme see...
