I cannot excuse myself for my self imposed isolation

Ever since I fell down on July 22^nd 2011 in the early morning - just a few seconds before getting into the taxi which was waiting for me to move towards Chennai airport, I have not regained my old form. Fortunately , slipping the last step at the bottom of the stairs , did not prove to be fatal , but it immobilized me for some weeks and to some extent dampened my spirits indirectly for so many months . With all the pain I went to Vizag and I was lucky to get treatment from the ablest hand. Addressing the doctors and great personalities in different branches of medicine was a new experience and I enjoyed it thoroughly.Indeed it was one of the pleasant occasions in my life when I was invited by those whom I had not known but I was known to them.

I did not clearly remember how I could waste my time in not writing substantive stuff for long. The great gap, more like a classic divide had emerged in the last so many months that I felt as if I had forgotten the art of writing. By the divine will, the tenure of my Deanship came to an end before the end of 2011 and before that , the deteriorating health condition of the better half , combined with her collapse in a famous temple put me in a different world altogether and I thank the supreme that I have survived and collected myself fully with patience and perseverance and negotiated the turbulent period in my life . The traumatic experience that I have undergone is worth writing like a story or a novel but I lacked both the courage and also the mood to put everything in words.

Relieved from Deanship burdens and rejuvenated by the fastest recovery of my better half , I am in reasonably good shape and I should continue to read and write, not just for the students but beyond that .Let me see to what extent I can do full justice to my subject, classroom lecture and of course my meditations on life and sundry matters.
