Swami : (After the sweets were distributed, to a student) What do you call this sweet? (Himself answering) - Bobbatu‖. In Malayalam it is called - Boli‖.
Students : Swami, please come to hostel.
Swami : Where is the hostel? Give me the address, I will come. In a letter you have the 'To' address and the 'From' address. Even if the 'From' address is not there, 'To' address is important. Without the 'To' address, the letter will go to the dead letter box.
Students : Come to hostel.
Swami : What is a hostel? Tell Me, what is a hostel? This (Mandir) is your hostel. Here you get so many chances. I can also talk to you, walk amidst you. In hostel your mother-in-law (referring to the Warden) will keep so many restrictions.
