Adyar, 16 June 2013





Adyar, Sunday, 16 June 2013
This week, we were down with a severe cold, but have been working on an article, which seems to have to be written. We missed two days at work, but were not the only one taking sickness leave.
Not much news from this sick man, except, that the article might be finished by the end of this month.
We have been resting a lot, during the time of which there was one dream staying in our consciousness. It was about the bibliographic database with citations on theosophical subjects. Someone really urged us to go ahead with it.
 
We have been working on a presentation on two great philosophers Anaximander and Tung Zhong-zhu.
The study group stays a good evening event, socially as well as for study.
For the rest we are becoming more and more familiar with the local culture, which has its peculiarities.  
Saturday, the boss gave us a booklet with commentaries on the Bhabavat Gita to read on the plane. Our cold was completely over. The siesta does good, if it is not too short.
The beach walk was a lot cooler and remarkably social as many hikers said hello, on Saturday. There was a school class at the beach playing cricket and Frisbee with one of their teachers.
We went to the internet shop because the modem was not working well. It functioned in the shop and also at home again. Seized the opportunity to buy oranges and had some orange juice for vitamin C.
As picture we chose the panoramic view of HQ Hall of the International TS here at Adyar made last winter by Richard Dvorak. See : http://www.panoramicearth.com/7661
We also put the photo of the beach cleaning party during the School of the Wisdom 2012, because this morning at about half past six, there were more than one hundred people cleaning the beach and dunes. A wonderful sight of commitment by the citizens of Chennai.
And that is all for the time being.
Good bye,
Mr. Brooder
