Guest guest Posted November 17, 2006 Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 He was ancient when I met him for the first time. He had been described in rather magnified terms by my mother all past 19 years or so and some of the stories bordered around the occult and ouija seances and romanchack <=hair raising goose bumping>... I had such a incredible image of him built up with my boyish imagination and so on. When he actually came into my life, just when I was really dabbling and learning about REAL science, anatomy and physiology and physics and feeling so bloody powerful and wise -- this frail old man walked into my life. Just as MA (she is no more, nor is HE) described, he took so long to finish his meal -- he chewed and chewed until the food liquified (moderns -- please note the contrast from what you do!). He spent hours diagnosing the homeopathic malady that I never believe I ever had! But then he really stumped me (psst, I think I never let him on as to how I felt -- sharing it now!) when he listened to my novice anatomy prattle with that boyish smile of curiosity on his face and said,"I do not understand anything you described <beta> but I can sense that it is IMPORTANT -- and I am excited by just hearing about it! He was an acclaimed teacher that changed many lives! I have met some that had been influenced by his presence and grew up to become deans of Engineering Colleges and Institutes. He only remained a headmaster of a school before he was ousted of his homeland. And all I got in my lifetime were those few days with him that I lost in my arrogant questioning of homeopathy that did not make sense then ...! Yes I miss him today -- but only because he showered love upon me and infected me with his curiosity.

Guest guest Posted November 17, 2006 Report Share Posted November 17, 2006 Sheenu, It is you who needs her credentials checked in astrology.You who needs to read. If you have not come across ranjanji's writings you badly need to spend time reading. At the very onset may i put forth a poser- before embarking in this line learn humility. This brashness will not get u far in life. Before looking at drishtis of planets have a vision yourself.
