Professor's Diary Excerpts 12




Days passed and I made up my mind that I should try to walk, and I can walk, and I started trying to walk - first with the help of my wife and later with the help of a physiotherapist. But all the time my mind told me to trust in God, and take efforts.
I succeeded in walking, and later I got full movement of all organs. I returned home safely with the blessings of the Supreme. Again one problem was left with me - my voice was not clear.

While I was in prayer I noticed an old man sitting in the church and reading a book very seriously. I thought that he might be a care taker of the church.
I came outside the church and found that on one side of the church people were trying to light candles but they were not able to do so as the winds were blowing very strong. I went near the place took the candles and lighted them and said aloud, “Is this wind a problem for the Kadamattathu Kathanar?”  .............................

I once again confirmed for myself that I had enough savings to complete the project. At that time a mega serial (Devi Mahatmyam) was going on in a famous TV Chanel (Asianet) in Kerala. My wife was persistent that the actress (Praveena) who acted as the Devi in the serial would be the right choice. I took efforts to obtain the Mobile number of that actress, got it and called her. Her PA attended the call and said that she was in a shoot. I tried again and the actress attended the call.
