Yesterday (20th March 2010) was Mataji's 95th birthday. Yes, she has lived on this earth 95 years. She has seen the horrors of the partition of India, seen the beauty of the world and the changing natures of people and their hearts.
It's amazing isn't it? Kylie Minogue's song comes to mind - I should be so lucky .... Man, to be alive for so long? Amazing.
Her mind is very very active. Mobility is limited though. So we took her out to lunch at a nice and very popular South Indian restaurant to celebrate. It was a nice afternoon. There were people everywhere. I had the most yummy Rava dosa. I totally recommend it to one and all.
I've started a course on Understanding Gender now. It's totally interesting - it puts in a framework things that we already know - difference between sex and gender; how 1975 was the Year of Women - etc. It is amazing how much the world has moved on as well.
I saw a film yesterday called "The Blind Side" for which Sandra Bullock won the Best Actress Award. I liked the film. It was about a young talented man called Michael and how his life transforms when he meets the Ohers. Now I didn't know much about this film or the story behind it, but one thing I shall say. It is awesome how one's life can transform if you have someone to support you. A must see. 5/5. And Sandra Bullock totally deserved the Oscar.
