with Sri Ganesh

Shanmugom makes the pipe connection to the tank, and Guna makes the permanent connection to the TNEB pole, via the new panel.

Today, on Your Birthday, the tank is filled for the first time with Sri Ganesh’s own water source.

For the first time, I am able to water most of the garden alone, after the puja. Kumar, who went back to the Bank on my request, is told that they have received some official letter to the effect that I may be misusing monies donated for the Ganesh Temple and therefore my Account must be frozen; they also inform Kumar that Madhu has been to see them a lot. I write a letter to the Bank describing the situation and detailing all the receipts and expenditures.

On my request, both Arjun and Krishna Tewari meet me at the Bank; Arjun has taken an appointment with the manager, who nonetheless makes us wait and behaves rather rudely; he is very vague and unresponsive, and only mentions that Madhu has somehow got a Court-Order to freeze the Account; he later also admits to having received some pressure from Srinivas Murthy, the acting Secretary for the AV Foundation.
