The Dean Returns count down to 2019 wish you all good days ahead..

closing days of 2018..I had suggested to two of my childhood friends that atleast once in a month we must meet over a cup of coffee in the city of pondicherry and accordingly one evening we visited the newly found forest zone in the heart of the city..Thereafter we went to ICH for cutlet and coffee.My friends are the accomplished lawyer and the engineer who reached high positions in their respective fields, but deeply more religious than me and this kind of outing  with friends was rare..After warming up we went to the new segment of the beach opposite to secretariat building-  the annexure of which was built by my friend with less than 5 feet foundation during those days while the front main building was made of pile foundation of several feet swallowing more money..I recollected all these while walking to the shore.

with the cool breeze enveloping  and old memories captivating we took some snaps  and sat for a while and conversed more on the nuances of  the spiritual side.I impressed upon them that with all flexibility built into the  schedule we must meet and share our experiences..

Once I reached home my daughter had noticed  the happiness radiating my face and the way in which I had dressed reminding her of the university days ..she gently whispered  Daddy! The Dean returns..
A timely statement like Keynes returns in the wake of the global financial crisis..On the beach i could not escape from my wife and showed one video prepared by shakthi..capturing her final days- the serene and saintly smile holding her grandson.

I pray to the lord that the statement by my Lecturer daughter must  gain currency and the task at hand must be carried out slowly and steadily..I am able to see the bull run in academics now..but sustaining the the momentum is difficult...

I understand the value of time in opportunity sense and how the idea and thought of death actually propel me  to be little bit organised and disciplined..Will  Sam the disorderly orderly personality change for the better in 2019 and beyond and render professional ethics  though the world is not waiting for it now  but i know its relevance for posterity...An angry rebel is rare to find and I want to be a queer bird  different from the run of the mill specie..wish you all the good days ahead...
