First things first as always :<\/p>\n
happy birthday !!<\/p>\n
Lots of happy surprises and exciting happenings to you as the year rolls along….<\/p>\n
News\/Views from this side : Here are some personal shots at the recent rural camp I went for.. while things are still fresh!<\/p>\n
As you can see I am as old as I want to be … and that\u2019s a splendid awesome twinkling 66!!<\/p>\n
Nobody is going to make that less for me!<\/p>\n
The reason I have included \u201ctwinkling\u201d is because of the stars. And you know how old they are!!<\/p>\n
And by the way old is not better than young or vice-versa. It is just different! And that should be comforting to whoever you are and whatever age you are!<\/p>\n
Now back to the personal shots of me at camp…..<\/p>\n

The collage ends with me subdued and pensive… wondering how many more years I will be able to carry on like this!<\/p>\n
Good news is that there will always be something else just in case!<\/p>\n
And here\u2019s a verse-tile description on a day in the life of a rural camper.<\/p>\n

getting there and going beyond!<\/p>\n
terry: october 2011<\/p>\n
And yes, I had a lovely restful time of a whole two vacation weeks after returning…<\/p>\n
College has reopened for the second term and it is good to be back in the swing of things all over again…<\/p>\n
I think I am going\u00a0 to have a busy time in December. There is College Day on the 3rd<\/sup>.. then a big fat Jesuit meeting which might last about three\/four days, the SSL Project Care, the SSL 60 years celebration that they are planning to have\u00a0 and other here and there things. Let\u2019s see…<\/p>\n Good news is that Christmas is also quite around the corner!!<\/p>\n That\u2019s it for now. Lots of exciting times to you too.<\/p>\n Take care.
