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".
