The 24th of March - today- is Sudha's birthday.

Many happy returns of the day Sudha.

Yesterday I logged off in a hurry; had to prepare dinner.
So I continue with a little bit of what i should have writtenyesterday. Sudha's birthday falls on 24th March.
Yes Chithappa, he used to take us to good English movies and follow it with visits to the Jaffer's
for ice cream. Mid 1960s through the 80s once at least once a month he used to take us on 'long drives' over the week ends on Saturdays / Sundays; 'like the English' - he used to insist that family outing over the weekend away from the bustle and hustle of the city was very important.

He is a very interesting person and what more , a very very cheerful person to this day.

Try this when you have time

This is very good. Not sure if I sent this as a mail.

Answer

Athimber,
You got it right!!! POST BOX it is :)

Happy birthday!

Ramaa, thanks for the post. Here is wishing Thambi (Anna) a happy birthday (belated though the message is). As I think of Thambi, my mind goes back to the times in Kalpakambal Nagar where, during one year, he took me to more than 100 movies! Mostly night shows, with a cup of tea in Irani Restaurant on the way back, after midnight. I was in my second and third year honours course then. Appa might have some times felt that I should have been studying rather than going to late night shows. But he never once said a word nor even conveyed by expression that he was displeased. I am sure about the number of movies as I kept a record of every movie that I saw and the book showed more than 120 entries in a little over a year.

May Thambi have good health and peace and enjoy many more birthdays.

Happy birthday, Arvind!

Best wishes to Arvind on his birthday, 17 March. Many happy returns!

The puzzle seems interesting, but I have not really applied my mind to it yet. I think I am going to be too lazy, and simply wait for someone to provide the answer!

Akila's puzzle

I don't have the answer yet. But let us all think for a while, Akila. Don't be in a hurry to tell us the answer!

Puzzle

IT'S A 7 LETTER WORD.
IF WE REMOVE 1 LETTER FROM IT, IT REMAINS SAME.
IF WE REMOVE 2 LETTERS FROM IT, IT REMAINS SAME.
IF WE REMOVE 3 LETTERS FROM IT, IT REMAINS SAME.
IF WE REMOVE ALL THE LETTERS FROM IT, STILL IT REMAINS SAME.

WHATZ IT ?

Answer later!!!! Hehe
