Rajan Raju

Rajan  is in hospital in Singapore recovering after a serious road accident in Paris.  His parents as also Chandru and Mythili are now in Ssingapore.  Let us all pray for his speedy and complete recovery.

Wow

Wow, Perippa's. I read this article yesterday in The hindu and was awed at her achievements so long ago. And now to know that you all knew her, amazing really!!

Vellore Days

Referring to Jayaram's posting about Pankajam Mami and her husband P.M.Venkatachari.
Jayaraman and I cannot forget them. In Vellore, for three years they were family friends and they could chat and play with us like young children. They had no children and they always accompanied us (in their Austin Car) in our picnics to Palar river bed which was about 10 km from our houses. Some times Raju used to drive their car to the river. Jayaram and I first started playing Table Tennis on their small cot. Later, after they became older, they lived in Sriramnagar in Madras and I have visited them at least once. I am sure Mythili and Papa will remember them.

Mami's picture revives old memories. They were happy days indeed.

Mami and Mama of Vellore

The following appeared in The Hindu Metroplus Chennai edition today.  Ramakrishnan will recognise Mami who was our neighbour for a short while when we moved to Vellore - in 1942 or '43.  She and her husband were 'Mami' and "Mama" to us all.  Extremely friendly, nice people.  (I did not know till now that Mami was the sister of S Ranganathan, who was the Secretary in the Ministry of Commece and Industry when I joined it in 1957).

From Ramu

Again missed a few birthdays. Belated birthday greetings to Jayanth, Sundar.

The key board of the laptop was giving trouble for sometime. The Sony service centre, which was in Ashok Nagar ( about 3 kms for me ), has been shifted to Chetpet now. So, I had to carry the laptop there. It has been rectified now.

Hope all are fine in the family.

Happy birthday

Wishing all those celebrating Birthdays, Wedding Anniversaries this month: A HAPPY DAY AND MANY MORE TO COME!

Ramu chittappa, I think you missed out Raghu Athimber and Krishnan - Chitra (Balam athai).

Kala (Raghupatu Chittappa's daughter), Sekhar (Viji) sang so well. RamNarayan's singing was beautiful, melodious.

It was great that Ashok & Lakshmi took pains to make this happen. Food was great too. Ashok made dosa / uthappams!

I did not know many people -Mahi and family, Vijay - Mahi's son and family, Cheema peripa's sons etc. May be we could have sat in that circle and each of us introduced ourselves.

Am writing this from Bombay. Giving Nameeta company while Rajiv is away for a week.
Totally lazy. Eeeeeee :):)

Picture Puzzle,

yes the one on the left - standing is Mowli periappa. The one in girl's dress is Raja mama. Apart from appa and Ramani mama the seated boy is either Kanga periappa or Cheema chithappa.

I will find out from Ashok & let you know.... may be in 10 days...

ramaa

Thank you all for your greetings.  Ramakrishna, honestly, I completely forgot my own wedding day when I was posting the list of May celebrities!

Wishing Jayaram perippa and Vimala perimma a very very happy anniversary. Wishing on behalf of appa and amma as well

Jayaram WA

A VERY HAPPY WEDDING ANNIVERSARY TO VIMALA AND JAYARAM (5th May 1957) and many happy returns.

Jayaram has not included this in this month's celebrities.

-Ramakrishnan.

Filling in

Filling the void for appa.. The laptop at home had to be formatted last week and I was unable to check what the issue was for appa to login to our blog. Would definitely try to do by tomorrow so that he can be in touch as well.

Rama akka seems to have posted a googly :) Interesting for me to watch

Picture Puzzle

I myself thought the one standing on the left was Mowli but I typed a wrong name. Saradam herself identified Thambi in a jiffy. I have now seen Ashok's cpmment.

-Ramakrishnan.

Picture puzzle

Ramakrishna,

The photo is from Ramaa, not me.  Could the one standing on the left be Mowli?
