Of Tapasvis and cheap SD card
My mother finished a big Jain sacrifice today. In Jainism, there are 24 tirthankars (or trascended souls) and so my mother did the following: Did K ekasanus (eat a restricted meal and only once a day) in a row where K starts at 1 and ends at 24. So, she did 1 ekasanu, took a break, did two in a row, then a break, then three in a row, break…. all the way upto 24. It took her three years to finish and so today was a pretty big event. There were about hundred people at our house and it was a nice religious ceremony.
During the ceremony, people come up to the tapasvi (ascetic, my mother in this case), wish her well and feed her some food. I took over a hundred pictures and then the memory card somehow failed and the pictures seem to be corrupted. Let that be a lesson — don’t buy a nice camera and then use a cheap memory card.
