My grandfather's diary from 1935-1936

My grandfather's diary(1935-1936). Very happy that my parents had preserved this diary. It took considerable time to decipher the handwriting but it sure was a fun project. With help from a number of people including my neighbor, husband, son, my siblings and of course Google, we have deciphered most of the pages. I have enclosed the deciphered document as well the original pages. In the diary he describes about the Rockefeller Foundation fellowship, getting the American visa and travel preparations. He also describes his ship journey up to Egypt. Rockefeller Foundation Fellowship to U.S.A 5th April 1935 Had been to Calcutta.

About my grandfather Dr Narasimha Moorthy

My grandfather Dr Narasimha Moorthy's 8 mm movies, some of which could be converted to DVD with audio track added by my late father Narayana Swamy. (Videos 7 and 8 are from his trip to USA and Europe. The ship can be seen in Video 8). These movies are probably from late 1930s to early 1940s. I have also included a pdf of a writeup about my grandfather which my father wrote a few years back. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjeLFLBNtb6IHg8qgty85vD-PL8dhBFgQ
