Homework

Many students did not return home works. Those who did not complete last week home work, need to complete it this week. i.e. Complete the Ugadi festival reading and the home work at its end.

Since this schools have started classes for students, this week will be a light homework week
1. Take the map for the city of Austin (from Google maps) and point out at least 2 places in each of 8 directions (as we discussed in class today)

 

2.  For those who have not done, write down the exact tithi on your date of birth. You can google for the Telugu calendar of your year of birth and check the tithi.
