Dear Diary,

Today is Ramanavami. An auspicious day in remembrance of Lord Rama , the great God and seventh incarnations of Lord Vishnu. Rama is a Sanskrit word which had two meanings. One meaning is "dark, black" and related to night. The other meaning being "pleasing, delightful, charming, beautiful, lovely".

Looks like these two meaning are relevant in this period of lockdown. There is a lot of darkness around with this lockdown. However, there is a lot of beauty and happiness with your near ones safe and Mother Earth is recovering very well from pollution and other human-created issues.

Good way to pray to Lord Rama today and wish for the best days ahead.

Started learning Sanskrit today, something to smile about!!!

My mom delicious neer more, panakam and kosambari (vada pappu) was the highlight today. Continued my online classes, worked with my son on Scratch coding online and some practice.

Good day - Hare Ram
