The vagaries of memory
Yes,İ've given this blog the title 'Memory Lane'for a specific reason.There was the fleeting chance my memory could have been impacted if something had gone cataclysmically wrong in my car in U.S(a case of hydroplaning).Also,because this is a joint blog and my mother is used to reciting slokams,many of which involve a tremendous show of memory(like the Saundaryalahari).

Dear Kumar,

Dear Kumar,
The title is very good. You are able to write well.Hope you recall what I told in the morning -- not to get upset if I make some comments.When I requested you to keep your left hand down you did not welcome the remark.Well at some point of time the medicine Baklofin must stop.U.S Srinivasan will stop only when your left hand is kept totally down.So as a concerned mother I told.
Next when you read the book pl note down in a nutshell what you read.This is good for recalling.Avoid getting distracted.Asirvadams to you.Amma

My response:
Amma,
Baclofen has to stop sometime,I agree,but I am surprised it is connected with my left side being totally down.Can any sane person look at me and say the left limbs are not normally placed assuming that person knew I was right-handed(I played badminton and tennis with my right hand and I was really competitive;still am when I play badminton with Appa;that's probably not something a doctor will care about even if told by the mother)?
Secondly,Prouty's book is a classic.Any summarization at this stage will be kind of reversing my studies;do you think most of my studies did not touch Prouty at all?Of course;he was regarded as the aerodynamics guru even then by one and all.So I am very sorry for finding this crude analogy,but would you try to summarize Saundaryalahari (God forgive such a thought) which you say you've been saying since very young?
