Sir / friend,
Today I got up as usual, but skipped reading my newspaper. I got ready early by 9.05am and my brother dropped me at the venue EPIPANY CENTRE near Four Roads, Salem.I was there from 9.30am to around 1.30pm.
It was a very memorable occasion to see my friend and Poet Aekalaivan being blessed by so many dignitaries.
The stage was decorated by 25 authors, some of them DIFFERENTLY ABLED. The Chief Guests Lena Thamilvanan and Suki Sivam gave excellent speeches.
AEKALAIVAN is doing all the good things I had in mind for the society. He wants to shortly start a TRAINING for the DIFFERENTLY ABLED and is seeking funds from philanthropists for that.
Today at the venue, I was wondering at the blessings of the Gods of all three religions.
What a great blend of three religions !!
I was able to collect Rs.1,500 from ten people and donated it to the trust and received 25 books from the Chief Guest, Suki Sivam.
## LENA THAMILVANAN donated Rs.25,000 to the trust today.
For about 2 weeks, I had been sending messages in whatsapp to acquaintances and my old and would be learners to contribute at least Rs.150.
It was a great experience collecting funds from different strata of the society. It was a pleasant surprise that I received cash within 60 seconds from three people when I just started praising about AEKALAIVAN and his ambition to start a school for the DIFFERENTLY ABLED.
Anyway, I had done my part and enjoyed every minute today at the function.
I was also able to record 3 sections of SUKI SIVAM's speech in my mobile phone, each for about 10 minutes duration.
A DIFFERENTLY ABLED writer, Vembai Balaji, offered to drop me home and did so. I also met TIMES OF INDIA Senthil Kumaran and his wife. I also met Mr.NACHIMUTHU, the TRUST auditor before the start of the function. (Mr. Senthil Kumaran had help me easily get the educational loan for my elder daughter in 2010).
After lunch, I was very tired. So I had a siesta till 6 pm. Then I went out for walk and evening tea, though I felt a bit tired.
