'Celebrities' of May

There are several birthdays and two wedding anniversaries in May. I have listed them in the panel alongside and may have missed some. Here's wishing all of the 'celebrants' all the best and many happy returns. From tomorrow afternoon for three weeks I shall be away from my computer and so will not be able to post any pictures. I hope some of the other members will fill in and post some nice pictures.
Vimala and I will celebrate our own wedding anniversary on 5 May in Dhaka, in the company of Ujwala and Ramesh.

Hi

Hi all!
I have been checking this site regularly, but did not post any mail for quite a long time. April was hectic with rehearsals. The pgms went off hmmmmmmmmmmmm--ok, could have been better!
So here's our Wishes for the anniversary & Birthday Celebrators:
Rukku athai-Athimber, Mythili athai-Mama, Srikanth-Vidya;
Ramesh, Ketan, Papa athai, Divya, & Cheenu athimber in advance!
I got back from visakhapatnam this morning. After last Monday's pgm my voice had turned hoarse, & I did not recover well enough for this pgm. Still, we managed because I was not singing alone. All the local people praised us for our flawless Telugu diction (so they said!)we also got the blessings of Nedunuri who said we should keep singing every chance we get- that means he approves of our understanding of his music!
No photos this time - we lost our camera after the Monday pgm, boohoo. S is not able to remember if he gave it to someone, or whether it just slipped from his hand & fell somewhere.
Thanks everyone for your wishes!
Gayathri

Happy birthday!

Best wishes to Divya on her birthday, 26 April. Many happy returns!

Photos/Wedding anniversary

Today Srikkanth and Vidya celebrate their wedding anniversary. Best wishes to them. No photos with me in digital form.
Re. Ramakrishnan's post. It would be nice if we could build up a good album of photos of the entire family, with quality pictures. I shall start one with a few photos and make a web album open to all members, so that they can add to the collection, for anyone to use at any time.
Any ideas from any one?

Vichu's Photo

Jayaram,
I suppose I must have the photo (of Vichu) in a digital camera to ba able to post it. Am I right. I do not have such a one now. I shall ask Sowmya/Varshaya to send it to you. I wonder if Varshaya will see this but I will send her a separate mail.
Right now I am listening to a beautiful Shanmugapriya by Nedanuri Krishnamurthy.

Wedding anniversary



Best wishes to Sowmya and Vichu on their wedding anniversary today. Many happy returns!

(Ramakrishna, if you have a good photo of Vichu and Sowmya, can you please post it?)

New and illeterate?

To answer Ramakrishnan's query. To add a comment on any post, you simply click on 'comment' below the post and proceed from there. But comments made on old posts (and even new ones) could be overlooked, as they open only when clicked on. So the best thing is to make a new post, referring to the item comments on and giving its heading and date for easy tracking. Please see the earlier posts on this topic under the label 'comments vis-a-vis posts',

I am rather new and illiterate

I have just got the ingternet connection and hope to look into the blog site more regularly now. Will somebody tell me how to add comments to some earlier item.

Thought for the day

True devotion consists in offering all your thoughts and actions to God and yearning for His grace. Devotion confined to a brief spell in the Pooja room (shrine room) or temple is not true devotion. During that time, devotion seems to swell within you and you feel at peace but, once outside, the peace is lost and anger takes its place. This cannot be called devotion. Bhakti (Devotion) has been described as a state of non-separation from God. Regardless of time, space or circumstance, one should feel closeness to God – that is Bhakti. True devotion transcends the limitations imposed by one’s daily routines and the obligations of life.

- BABA

Birthdays


It is Ketan's birthday today. Ramesh (Vidya) celebrated his birthday on 13 April. Best wishes to them both. I have had to keep away from the computer for nearly the whole of two days, as a new AC was being fitted yesterday and today the flat was swarming with painters who were painting the grillwork. All the best to the birthday celebrants!

Fact for the day

This may be difficult to believe, but Coca Cola was four annas (25 p.) a bottle when I first went to Delhi in 1957. Pepsi Cola was five annas. Today, I bought one podalanga (snake gourd) for a little over 32 rupees.

Fact for the day

This day - 10 April - in 2001, the Netherlands approved a bill legalising euthanasia. Also this day in 1938, the Austrians, in a sham plebiscite, approved the Anschluss (the unification of Austria with Germany).

Fact for the day

Hi, I thought something like a "Fact" for the day could help the blog. So here is the first one. Am sure many of us might have read/heard of these.

Coca-Cola was originally green.
