Glad that the Blog has got going again!

I had posted a couple of videos of Netra and Trilok - I don't know if any one was able to view them.

Our Bombay sojourn is nearing its end. We will have to move back to Madras in Sept - though our hearts are very much here in Bombay......

Happy Returns

Namaskarams and many happy returns to Lux athai/athimber and Mani Perippa/Perimma

V has stepped into V standard this year, and with this starts a very rigorous routine. There are tests every week. She also starts with the quarterly/half yearly etc exams from this year onwards. So, exam time for us as well. The last weekend was a starter to how it's going to be. Though we do not pressurise her to study, there's so much!! God help us

Two golden wedding anniversaries!

Lux Athai and N G Athimber
Bhavana Chithi and Mani Chithappa

Many, many happy returns of the day...your 50th wedding anniversary!

With best wishes from the Coimbatore, Chennai and Singapore branches of the Jayaraman family

MONTHLY CELEBRITIES

Shruti was good enough to find from Jayaram's computer the list of dates - birthdays and wedding anniversares - and send the list to my gmail ID. But I have not able to open the attachment. I sent her a reply and hope she will respond soon.

But, I am sad to find that participation in the blog is still very small.  There is no point in taking all the trouble if only half a dozen PSCians look in to the blog. Why this apathy. Dont we all want to belong, exchange news and views. Should we not at least know the names of our grand nephews and great grand neices and know how they are making a name for themselves.

I am very happy that Shruti took the trouble to post the article on Jayaraman. I felt very proud after reading it. 

Is it not a pity that all the knowledge, skills and talent which a person acquires during his life should vanish by death.

Article

Hello everyone, I am attaching an article which has come in June issue of The Caravan about J Thatha. 

Love, Shruti

Trilok and Netra

At last Trilok took his first steps without support. Still he needs to hold something in his hand :)
Hope this link gets you to the video:

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY.

I am happy to see the postings by Shruti and Akila and particularly the picture of Jaysahankar and Priya. It is not clear to me what is the picture posted by Akila.  
Saradam and I wish Jayashankar and Priya a happy anniversary and many happy returns. 
When is Shruti going to send me the file containing all the dates.


LALGUDI
I am presently reading a biography of Lalgudi Jayaraman by Lakshmi Devnath. I want to quote a passage I liked much This is part of the advice given by the mother of Lalgudi's wife Rajam to her when she was first leaving for her PUKKAGAM. The idea is old and I learnt a Tamil poemfrom NAALADIAR with the same idea in school in Tamil but it is nicely put by Devnath.

"There is no household without problems. Look at those worse off than you and gain comfort; observe those better than you and feel inspired". 

In actual practice, most of us do  exactly the the opposite.

Happy Anniversary

Dear Priya manni, Shankar anna - wishing you a very happy anniversary and many happy returns of the day

I have put together a collage with just a few pictures from our recent trip to Mysore to share here

Happy Anniversary

Dear Priya Amma and Shankar Appa,

Congrats Vivek

Dear Vivek, hearty congratulations from all of us here - on not only passing out with good scores but also able to get admission into a course of your choice

All the best for a great future

Vivek (P.C.Srinivas officially) passed the plus two exam with decent marks - 830 out of 1200. He has been able to get admission in the G.R.D.College, Coimbatore for the B.Sc.Visual Communication course which is what he wanted.  He wants to stay in the hostel. The college is in Peelamedu, across Coimbatore City from Kovaipudur, about 23 Km and no direct bus. 

The results of the UPSC Exam he wrote on 20th April for NDA Selection may come by end July and if he gets selected after the interview, he will take it and leave the college. 

Wedding Anniversary
