Dachu's wedding

Pics can be viewed at :...... I think everyone has seen them. will put in links later.

The family solidly worked to put up a good show.

-Kalai ran the show at home- the menus , the food, overseeing the maids, seeing that people ate.

- MRG welcomed the guests colourfully
- Karthik sang beautifully and enthused everyone
-GG looked beautiful and serene
- Haru made a maidenly appearance
- Ravi was here there everywhere, organising cars and icecreams ( for tired underworked people) and generally being larger than life in a Texan way
special appreciation for organising an Iyer for the mappilai allaippu
- Goutham looked after his family very well, garlanded Dachu whenever asked to and organized the Registration
-Anandhi was cheerful company and added glamour with her special outfits - took care of hospitality and distribution of sweets to the family members
Greatest contribution was bringing her friend Mallika along who took care of Dachu's dressing tirelessly and her sons who took spells in the dining room to look after people- the next day though they were too well dressed to do much
- Saroj danced with great energy (as they say in the dance competitions) and brought a new flavor to the family
- Aswatha (who is getting prettier everyday) and Nandika tirelessly looked after Medha
- Kapu stage-managed all the actual rituals - nitchiyam, mapillai apllaipu and wedding without actually consulting anyone about what should be done. She did on ocasion ' who is to garland Dachu now, she would ask me?
Ravi I would say and find Goutham on stage a few minutes later..;
'I cant find Ravi anywhere '
-Ramesh harassed and managed the mapillai's family and really got things moving -otherwise nothing much would have gone on even-behind-schedule.
-Sajid was a willing worker and a very uncomplaining, sweet one - a side his parent say they have never seen .Except for his penchant for making undrinkable milk shakes and trying to get people drink them, everyone gives full marks to him.
-Equally commendable was Sindhu with her untiring energy working with Kapu ceaselessly on the thattus. She was cool and unflappable (mostly) - good MBA material
- The seniors, Appa, the two Athais looked after water at home and silently kept things working
-Nirmala Chittti kept a firm hand on rituals -very unsilently of course - but it needed her to get done in some organized fashion

have I forgotten someone? we forgot of course to take a group snap but there are lots of smaller ones. And memories
