Jatasya hi dhruvo mrtyur....I start my Editorial first by expressing my deep condolences to the
mothers of our President and the President elect who passed away in less than 10 days interval. My son out of curiosity asked this question-“how come Papa people are dying in Rotary so frequently?” For a second I felt what he said is right. Almost at an average of one per month for the last 6 months or so we are losing elderly members of our families. But that is natural. Most of us are in late 4os or early 5os. Naturally our parents will be in eighties. So they make way for us to occupy their positions! And it is quite expected to hear such news. But for the individual family members, loss is unbearable. Being in medical field I come across this situation quite frequently and when we declare the inevitable to the family members the reactions from the other side can be varied and sometimes unexpected and inconsolable. But every time I console myself by rembering this great verse from Bhagavadgita.
jatasya hi dhruvo mrtyur dhruvam janma mrtasya ca
tasmad apariharye'rthe na tvam socitum arhasi
For one who has taken birth, death is certain and for one who has died, birth is certain. Therefore in an inevitable situation understanding should prevail.
Next significant event that happened last week was the mesmerizing speech of our P M NaMo on Independence Day. I am sure you have heard and read enough about it in the media. Who can dare to speak about toilets from the Red fort? 1 hour and 10 minutes of
pure extempore filled with punch lines was truly amazing. Whether he delivers or not is secondary but that speech truly inspires. Those of you who missed please watch it on You Tube. It is really worth it.
My Mankuthimmana Kagga is slowly catching up. I am hearing good feed backs. Read the one for this week which I feel is timely.

slate to make it complete again. He broke it in the first place. Although it is tiresome for him to put it back together, he is involved it in wholeheartedly and in oblivious to the rest of the world. So is the creator - engrossed in the process of creating and breaking his own creation. He is enjoying it just like the little boy even if it seems tiresome and futile..." - Rtn. Dr. Prahlad
