From Ramu

1. Thank you very much, Ramakrishnan. Wishing you all the same. I recall those K.Nagar diwali days. We ( me, Lux, Lalitha, Rama, Ashok) used wait eagerly for the diwali eve, with a basket each. You used to distribute the crackers to us. And you used to crack our "bombs" on diwali day. Appa used to sit in the verandah with iodex & burnol and supervise.
2. The laughing baby is really nice, Jayaramanna.
3. A joke from Times of India:
Teacher : George Washington not only chopped his father's cherry tree but admitted it also.
Now, Louie, do you know why his father did not punish him?"
Louie: Because he still had the axe in his hand".

BRINDAVAN

I have read the postings to date and enjoyed Ramu's and Vaishnavi's jokes. Our week's stay in Brindavan is coming to a close. Papa and KT Ramani are coming here today before lunch so that we can all be together for a day. Tomorrow Saradam and i go home. We have enjoyed the week here, with nothing to do. In Kovaipudur we both have some work to do and so coming to Brindavan is a 'holiday' for us with brothers and sisters. Particularly for Saradam who does not have to think about cooking.

-Ramakrishnan.

Greetings

                             Happy birthday, Ramya!

From Ramu

1. Best wishes to Ramya on her birthday. Many happy returns of the day.
2. From the discourse of Tiruchi.Sri.Kalyanaraman, in Sankara TV:
A lady devotee, during her usual dharshan of Ranganathar , Srirangam, one day , prayed
that He should take her to Vaikundam very soon. Lord told her that He will send the "vimanam" the next day. After that the lady stopped going to the temple. Lord, after waiting for a couple of days, went to her house and asked her why she did not come to see Him . She said,
" on that day I was a little dejected and said that I want to go to vaikundam soon. You took it serious . I can not go now. My daughter has to get married, I should get a sweet grand-daughter and she also has to get married. How can I go now!!!!"

Husband : For you and your parents.

From Ramu

1. Ramakrishnan, very happy that you did abhishegam in Kutir. We never realised it was your 80th birthday this time; we were there just before that and we would have given a gift to you.
2. Have a nice time in Brindavan. We really liked and enjoyed our stay there.

Joke

Thank you very much for your wishes on our anniversary.

I have been trying (mostly in vain) to make something for Vaishnavi's lunch box so that it comes back empty. I have observed that every time I give her rotis it comes back empty!!! How can I make rotis daily in the morning, SHUDDER!! So, I made idli and chutney about 2 days back. As the usual routine is, I called appa in the evening to find out how I had fared.
This was the conversation we had:
Me: Had she finished her lunch today?
Appa: Yes, she was so excited. First thing she told was she finished her lunch!! Tiffin box thodachu saaptaa inikku

Me (to Vaishnavi): Thodachu saaptiya?
Vaishnavi: Illa ma, naan pichu daan saapten. Thathakku onnume theriyala!!!

I was in office, but could not help but burst out laughing!!

BURTHDAYS,

Wishing a Happy Birthday to Skanda, Kiran, Sundaresan and everybody else having Birthday this month.

For my 80th Birthday (star birthday on 13th Oct) we had arranged an Abhishekam in the Sivan Kutil here - but it was postponed as our Siddhar Swami went out of station and was performed on 30th. Though I am unable to sit on the floor long, we attended the abhishekam fully and it was very satisfying. The abhishekam consisted of the usual puja to the kalasam first followed by the abhishekam with water, oil, seeyakkai, two kudams of milk, ghee, honey, curd, sandal paste, fruits, panchamirtham, vibuthi and milk. I wished I had taken my camera with me. The neivedyam was Sambar Saadham and curd rice and we used the prasaadam for our night meal.

The day after my star birthday we went to Pudukode village for the Navarathri celebrations as mentioned by Jayaraman earlier and it was a very enjoyable experience.

Saradam and I are going to spend a week in Brindavan with Jayaram and Narayanan.

-Ramakrishnan.

From Ramu

A former MLA, along with two friends, posed as IT officials and took away gold & cash from an elderly couple from their house ( Hindu 20/10 ). He was arrested and probably is in jail now.
How can he forget that he is no more a MLA and not eligible to do these things!!
Ramu

Best wishes to Sundaresan on nis birthday today. Many happy returns!

From Ramu

1. Best wishes to Sundaresan on his 59th birthday today 19 Oct. Many happy returns of the day. Looking forward to his "sashtiabdapoorthi".
2. I got the free colour TV yesterday given by Tamil Nadu Govt. Our flat owners association had taken initiative and arranged this. Since last several days, TVs are distributed at Meenakshi College in Vembuliamman Koil Street, just opposite Vestas RRB factory. It was our turn yesterday and it took 3 1/2 hours in the que.
I first thought of not taking it but if I don`t, someone else will take it in my name. I am unable to understand the eligibility for the free TV!!!! Why we should be given free !!!! How much public money is spent?

Akila and Mohan celebrate their wedding anniversary today and Skanda his birthday. Our best wishes to them. Manhy happy returns.

Happy B'day

A very happy birthday to Ramakrishna perippa and Jayaram Perippa.

Sorry am late again. Though I did login to our blog, I left a comment on an older post, but forgot to post my wisehs :(

This year, I did not keep Golu as officially we do not have festivals (M's perimma passed away). Also, with the second shift, I would not do justice to the Golu if I did have. I'd not even be able to light the lamp in the evening.
Nevertheless, the festival spirit has definitely set in. I have to pass doraiswamy subway daily to board my company bus at 12.30. The crowd level has increased considerably (after a brief lull after the aadi sales) the last 3 days or so. So, devicing an alternate route till Diwali. All the same, the sight of the well-lit shops (when we are not in a hurry) definitely do give a "kick" ;)

Thank you

Thanks you all for your greetings and good wishes on my birthday yesterday. The day was special for me and Vimala: along with KN (whose initiative made it come about), Rukku, Ramakrishnan and Saradam, we visited Puthukode yesterday and spent the day there. The place was full of life and activity with the Navaratri celebrations. It was a memorable day.

From Ramu

1. Best wishes to Jayaramanna on his birthday. Many happy returns of the day.

80th B'day

Today is Appa's 80th B'day -star. I went to Padmanabhaswamy temple and received the prasadam after abhishekam.
WE PRAY FOR HIS LONG, HEALTHY, PEACEFUL AND HAPPY LIFE.

Our "Happy Birthday" wishes to Anupama, Mohan,Lalitha athai, Vishak, Lux Athai, Jayaram Chittappa (sorry - belated).
So to compensate here's wishing in advance:
HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Skanda, my husband (heehee), Charu, Rajan, Ramya, Sekhar and Kiran.
And Anniversary wishes to Srikant-Vidya, Akila-Mohan. Wish you many more years of happy togetherness.
I will be giving a 1 1/2 hour concert at Velcaheri tomorrow - this is a last minute happening since the original team cancelled.
On Vijaya Dasami day, L&T-ECC is going to perform the Bhoomi Puja for a new medical centre for Prayas-ECC right opposite our present med centre. We are planning to run this on the lines of Andheri med centre and will bring in top specialists for the poor people in the locality free of cost or at very subsidised rates.
This year there is no kolu in our house - due to the passing away of TSS's second cousin brother.

How to link blog?

Thank you very much for your wishes and blessings Perippa.

Akila - Mohan

Dear Akila and Mohan,

I find that both your birthdays and also your wedding anniversary come in October. My greetings to you (and Saradam joins me) for your Birthdays and WA and many happy returns. The visit to Vellakadu (Maa Amritamayi) must have been most satisfying to you both.

-Ramakrishnan.

From Ramu

1. Best wishes to Lalitha on her birthday today, 08 Oct. Many happy returns to her. We wish & pray that on this occasion that Ram should recover fast and become fully alright soon.
2. We were also out on a holiday to Coimbatore from 25 Sep till 04 Oct. Our stay in Brindavan was excellent but we missed Jayaramanna - manni and Chandru athimbare - Mythily. It was nice to see all the senior citizens ( both men & women ) very active, right from early morning till night.

Best wishes to Lalita on her birthday today. Many happy returns.

Vimala and Jayaraman

Thank you

Thank you perippa, for your wishes. I will convey them to Mohan.

Mohan, Vaishnavi and I had been to Vallikkavu for 3 days. We had a lovely, peaceful, energizing time there. I took the remaining week off and just chilled out. Well, it was more of getting some pending things done than chilling out.
V and I went to EA mall (the new mall in Chennai) during that period. We had a great time there too. As we went during a week day, it was empty and we were able to have a good time.
Pray that Thambi perippa gets well soon.

Back from Colombo

Anupama and Mohan had their birthdays on the 2nd and 5th October. Best wishes to them. And to Lalita who celebrates her birthday tomorrow, the 8th October.
Vimala and I had a good holiday in Sri Lanka. The absence from our HQ accounts for the delays in updating the blog etc.
We all hope and pray that Thambi will get better soon.

THAMBI

I had sent a forward to Ramaa and she replied in which she said Thambi knocked himself against something (he does not remember) and has been in pain. I telephoned her. She says that Thambi is walking about but turning in his bed etc is painful and Ashok thought that he could see his ribs moving. On examination, the doctor has said there could be a fracture which cannot be confirmed but anyway there is no treatment and it has to heal by itself and Thambi carries on with pain and painkillers.
