Well, here's a work in progress.... putting my life down in a retrospective diary. After 70-plus years, some memories are a bit hazy, but I will do my best to record everything as accurately as I can. As a Buddhist, I am very aware of the fact that we all see the world in our own way, depending on our individual karma, so this has to be my personal view, which may be very different from what others experienced, even though they might have been there with me at the time.
