... The couple from the Kalari team has come again for pranam and they offer Rs. 10/-; it turns out they are siblings, both teachers, from a long line of Kalari masters and their father was their guru (Radhika and Satjit)... ... I am just beginning the Aarti when Madhu and his wife come; his wife attends it all, quietly, while he just comes in midway through it and offers Rs. 100/-; I have placed the necklace as promised, to adorn Sri Ganesh along with the flowers I plucked from the garden earlier... The headman, when he sees this new ornament, is very pleased; I find it flashy and vulgar, but then Ganeshji does make it beautiful... Another Rs. 20/- are offered...
