From Ramu

1. Happy birthday, Karthik. Many happy returns of the day.
2. Very nice to know the Diwali eve was celebrated well in Brindavan. I am able to imagine how it would have been, as I was there recently. A very nice group of people, always active .
3. A joke from the first stage play of Kathadi Ramurthy, " Matchless Matches".
A man borrows Rs.50 from a friend on a Wednesday, promising to return on Saturday. On Saturday, he borrows Rs.50 from another friend promising to return on Wednesday, and gives it to the first friend. Again, on Wed., he borrows Rs.50 from the first friend and gives it to the second friend. This goes on for sometime. Suddenly, he stops paying both his friends. One day both the friends catch him and ask their Rs.50. This man tells them," see, I am busy these days. So, do not trouble me. Every Wednesday you give him Rs.50 and you ( the second friend) give him Rs.50, every Saturday".
I used to play the roll of Mr.Wednesday.
