Referring to the heavy rain in the morning…
Swami : There was a lot of mud behind the hostel dining hall but someone removed it. So the water entered the dining hall. Boys took their beds and ran. No Suprabhatam today. You know, what the foreigners say for Suprabhatam ― 'Super-bottom', because their pronunciation is different from ours. I came behind the hostel today. Nobody rang up to Me. Still I came. When I came to the stadium, the whole place was flooded. Today the first period was not there, isn't it?
Student : Yes, Swami.
Swami : The tiffin was not enough today. First they prepared Pongal. It got over. Then they prepared Upma. They should make more and more. How is the kerchief (Referring to the sweet, which was papery)? The sweet is prepared specially by one family, and that too only in the West Godavari district of Andhra Pradesh. It is very good.
Student : Swami, my hands sweat very often. (Swami touched his fingers one by one.)
Swami : Sweating? During examinations the paper also gets wet, isn't it? Take this medicine.
(Swami materialised a medicine, pale yellow in colour and powdery like Vibhuti).
