All Wishes to Amrita for a long, healthy and happy life.
Gayathri & Sundaresan

From Ramu

1. Happy birthday to Sriram. Many happy returns of the day. 2. The punyakavachanam went of well. The baby is named Amrrita Saminathan. JOKE: 3. Three friends went to their regular restaurant but found an old lady sitting in their table. They also occupied the same table and conversed like this, to drive away the old lady: Friend 1 : Do you know, I have two fathers. Friend 2 : Oh, I have three. Friend 3 : I don't know who is my father. Old lady : Will one of you bastards pass on the sugar please! ( Read in Digest long long back). Ramu

Ramu's Joke

Here is an old version of Ramu's joke:

Man to boy playing in front of a house : "Is your mummy at home ?"
Boy : Yes.
The man knocks a few times and asks "you said your mummy is at home ?"
Boy : "Yes, my house is on the next street".

From Ramu

1. The Punyakavachanam of the new baby of Aishwarya & Koushik is on Tuesday 29 March 2011 at their house. We seek the blessings of one and all.
JOKES: ( Real incidents took place long back ):
2. Mani went to his friend's house for the first time with a biscuit packet. At the entrance a small boy was playing and Mani gave the biscuit to him, thinking he was his friend's son. That boy took the biscuit and went into next (his) house!
Ramu

JOKE

A friend asked the boy: Have you ever laughed until you cried ?

Boy: Yes, this morning.

Friend: How come ?

Boy: My father stepped on a plantain peel and I laughed.

Ohh

Completely forgot to wish Mala manni. Hope you had a great birthday in Colombo.

Updates

As appa said, the little one looks exactly like thaatha!! Hope to be able to take some pictures on the punyaajanam (if permitted).

Gayathri akka, I absolutely agree with you. We have just lost touch on how to just be. We feel that we always need to be doing something!! Of late, I just sit back and "be dumb" and not do anything at all. It really helps for the coming week.

From Ramu

1. Thank you for the goodwishes & greetings on the new arrival. As usual, discussions are going on to choose a good name for the child and there are a couple of days more to decide. Aishwarya is likely to be discharged from hospital this noon. I think taking a photo of the new born will be allowed only some time later.The child very much resembles our father PSC, as of now.
Ramu

I join Jayaraman in greeting Kaushik and Aiswarya on their new arrival and wish the child a very happy healthy long prosperous life and her parents the same.

Happy Birthday to Mala on her 50th Birthday. I had missed it in Jayaraman's list somehow.

-Ramakrishnan.

New arrival!

The family welcomes a new arrival, a daughter born to Aiswarya (Koushik) on the 19th March 2011.  We look forward to a post from Ramu with details of name etc. and a photo when it is possible.  We pray to the Almighty to bless the child with excellent health and a long life full of joy and fulfillment. 

From Ramu

Very happy birthday, Mala. Very happy to know you are fifty, and really having a memorable birthday with Kumar in Colombo. Many many happy returns of the day.
We are extremely happy that you and Kumar visited us and had lunch with us. Thankyou very much. Had we known it is going to be your 50th birthday, we probably would have given you some gift.
All the best to you.
Ramu Sarada

Happy birthday, Mala!

The PSC Family conveys its hearty greetings to Mala on her 50th birthday today, which she is celebrating somewhere in Sri Lanka!
Many happy returns, Mala!

HAHAHA! Ramu C, your jokes are just toooo good!
Yesterday when Kumar and Mala were here from your house, they were telling me that their tummies were bursting (with food & non-stop laughter).
We had a really wonderful time too. Mala wanted to go to the beach, but we just ended up chatting, without realising it becoming late!
Brought back childhood memories, the simple, uncluttered pace of life. Family vacations. Lots of time and space.
All so changed now.
Still, we tell ourselves it is good to keep busy. Yes, as for me, I do feel happy with my singing, writing and Prayas.
But I am also surprised at myself that like the younger generation, I too seem to have forgotten how to just be lazy and relax and do nothing!

From Ramu

1. Good to know Window Kasab. Only thing is we can not use it with confidence, as it will be under trial for ever!!
2. Joke:
Guru: If you control all your five senses for ever, what you will get?
Student : Ambulance!!

Happy birthday

Happy birthday, Arvind.  Posting this a day late, through sheer indolence.

Hello

Has been reeaaly long since I posted last.. Have become a very irregular post(er) in our blog. Humble apologies. The last few months have really been hectic at work. So, not able to check mails very frequently. And I hardly check mails during weekends. No that I do not have time, but just don't feel like :(

The jokes are very nice and lively :)

Joke!

My share:

It has been reported that Microsoft has developed a new version of Windows that does not hang and has named it "Windows Kasab" !

Gayathri

From Ramu

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

JOKE

The proud mother said "my child is a genius, he has many original ideas, no ? " and teacher replied yes, especially when it comes to spelling.

-Ramakrishnan.

From Ramu

1. Happy to see a posting from Ramakrishnan, after some gap. Yes. That picture of Thambi anna is very good. I think Ashok visits our blog once in a while and he would have seen it. When I met Chandar at Bhavana's wedding, he said he visits the blog regularly to know what is happening.
Joke:
2. Astrologer : I have seen the horoscopes well. Your wife will be with you for long, with good health.
Husband : Is there any "parihaaram" (remedy) for that!!!!
Ramu

JOKE

I want to follow Ramu and post a joke now which I read a few days back from an old magazine. I have some more which will follow later:

A quote from Navjot Singh Sidhu: The ball missed the bat like a kiss in a Hindi movie.

-Ramakrishnan.

Birthday

That was a beautiful photo of Thambi which Jayaraman has posted for his Birthday, 11th March.
I hope Indu or Ashok will be seeing this and I request them to convey to Thambi the greetings and good wishes received from all of us. In fact I have been thinking of telephoning Ashok to convey my greetings and I think I will do it today.

-Ramakrishnan.

From Ramu

Happy birthday, Thambi anna. We pray for your good health peace. Many happy returns.

Birthday

Happy birthday, Thambi! The family prays to the Almighty for your good health and happiness. Many happy returns!

From Ramu

JOKE:
1. Police : When the house main doors were open, why did you climb up through the pipes, break the first floor door and enter the house?
Thief : Only hard earned money will stick , that is why!!

2. Joke :
Wife : Darling, you never told me that you already have a wife by name Rani.
Husband : I told you before our marriage that I will keep you like rani !
Ramu

Greetings

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AND MANY HAPPY RETURNS to Ashok, Krishnakumar and Srilakshmi who are celebrating their birthdays today and the next two days.

-Ramakrishnan.

From Ramu

1. Gayathri, I can understand the wonderful atmosphere you would have had in Sakatapuram, as we had gone there once. Except the Mutt there is nothing, not even a small shop for medicines, snacks, etc. For those who really want to have a 100 % peaceful time, Sakatapuram is the best place. Dharshan of Sri Periaval also will be good as there will not be much crowd.
2. Hope Jayaramanna is ok now. Sarada also has been having severe bronchitis and has visited the doctor thrice. It was so bad she had to cancel her Trichy trip.
JOKES:
3. Friend 1 : My husband did not disclose before marriage that he already has a wife .
Friend 2 : That is really bad. What did you do?
Friend 1 : I also did not reveal that I already have a husband!!!
4. In a school for old age people:
Old man : Master, yesterday you said that 4 + 2 = 6. But today you are saying that 3+3=6.
I think you yourself have to attend school again!!!
Ramu

Jayaraman

Jayaraman is down with a bad throat and fever. I think this is the reason why the March file has not been opened. He should be okay in a day or two and we will get the March celebrities.
