Keeping Perippa's spirits alive

Ramakrishna Perippa - I totally agree with Aishwarya. Let us keep J perippa spirits alive by keeping this blog alive. We will contribute as and when

A loss immeasurable

I don't know Jayaraman Perippa as much as the rest of the family. But I still struggle to come to terms with the reality of the situation. He was the kind of person who made me realize people who are fundamentally talented are fundamentally modest. It took just a bunch of get togethers, a couple of weddings and some long and short email exchanges to know him then and immeasurably miss him now. RIP, Jayaraman perippa. Ramakrishna Perippa, please continue the work that he has left and we will all pitch in to keep the blog going. L, Aishwarya, Koushik and Amrritha

Thank you all

Dear Family PSC,

Its almost a month since Appa passed away. It was so sudden, so quick, so unexpected...my logical mind tells me this was the best way for him...so do all my friends and family. Guess this is .right...and its our only consolation.

Shruti, Prashanth, Priya, Ujwala, Ramesh and Amma join me in thanking the Family for the overwhelming support. So many of you have called from all over the world, so many of you have called on us, stayed with us...I met a few whom I've never met before...its been great.

Appa's crosswords continue to be published, 3 a month in The Hindu, and the cross word bloggers continue to write about Appa. Am quite sure Appa never expected such high praise from this crossword community. Typical of him, he never did anything for the sake of being recognised.

The picture attached here was taken by Krishna Kumar on his last visit from the US. Thank you Kumar. I think it captures his mildly surprised, slightly proud expression whenever his grandchildren, whom he doted on, said or did anything smart.

with love,

Jayashankar

 

I very much want to continue the blog though the number of PSCians who participate is very low compared to the size of the clan. But, if possible, I would like to coordinate as Jayaraman did. For this I need the information on Birth Dates, Anniversaries etc which is in his computer. Then I want guidance what I should do keep the blog alive. 

May I request all those, everybody, who sees the blog (even if not contributing) to now make an entry and say he/she would 
like the blog to continue. Some may not know how to make an entry and they can send me a mail to my ID pcramki@gmail.com 

VOID TOO BIG

How I wish I had contributed  to the blog  when my  beloved brother  Jayaraman  was there.  He would have been happy.

Every minute  and second  we  keep  thinking  about him, talking about him. Not a day passed without  Jayaraman and I discussing  music. I used call him "paatu mama'. Daily  when went out to pluck flowers  with  a stick,  he used to say,  "Kambu  mami vandhutta."   We don't  know  how to get  over  this.

But god has been kind. Our  prayers  that Jayaram should not suffer were answered. But the void is sooo big How we miss you Jayaram. 

Let us  maintain  and  continue  the  blog . That  will be the tribute  we pay  to our dear  Jayaram.

Rukku
