Congrats Kallu
Congrats Kallu, Sindhu, Sajjith.
I continue my writing on 90 SC.
When Chelvaa joined Dental college he had just then started
going to Gym. But after two years I was amazed to see his
rippling muscles. He had easily become the strongest male
member of the family.
A new kid is off the blocks now. Sajjith. Watch out for him.
Jan 1, 2002 we were in Ooty. Kalyani, Anandhi and I were
walking behind. In front of us Dharshini, GG, Sindhu, Haru
and Sajjith were walking. The girls were of equal height.
Sajjith was atleast half feet shorter. The kids all had their
hands interlocked behind their backs. They must have been
singing some song. In perfect unison all their right legs came
back twisting towards left. I rued not having a video camera
with me.
We greeted the new year as usual with songs and games.
We had three rounds of Thambola, the last one having the
maximum prize money. Sajjith won all the prizes in the last
round.

90 Sivananda colony-kalyani
Dear Kalyani,
please accept my appreciation for your great effort in bringing out an excellent compilation and sequencing of Sivananda colony lineage.All the photographs are thought provoking. My sincere advice to you. The two tamil write ups by your mama and nirmala aunty are with thousands of mistakes. Many places with different alphabets gives awkward meaning. Your mama is a Tamil scholar and it is an insult if his writing has strings of mistakes.Nirmalas is the next.The title. nan is nall--- Nan=I or Myself---Nal=date.I controlled my laugh when I saw in the first page of her article--please see last but one line where it is Mathudapathi instead of Magudapathy.Hi!Mathu=drinks -- Mahudam=crown.Please also see the last line. athan is written as suthan.
My sincere suggestions. Remove those two articles get it proof corrected by a person who knows tamil and attach it. or remove it. More mistakes are in Nirmala's article. I hope those who knows tamil would agree with my suggestions. But for this , please accept my sincere appreciation. You have done a wonderful job.
Lalli Aunty

Thanks to Sendhil--congratulations to Sindhu
Hello! Sendhil,
Deep in my heart you have touched me by remembering the 70tys. I never thought I would be a focus point in 90 Sivananda colony. Thank you for your sincere thoughts about me. Even Today I am dedicated to my research and for you and for others, I presented a research paper before a good gathering of American Investers, Marketers and Farmers. This came in the local TV news. I was really thrilled about that. The mayor attended and congratulated me for the products that I have developed here. Yet another effort in my Second phase of my life. Thank you Sendhil. ----
Lalli Aunty.
Sindhu darling--A big kiss and best wishes for your success. I still remember that chubby baby crying out of pain due to hurting rubber band on her wrist. We the great thought that she is crying for milk.Hi! Sindhu, you look smart and beautiful. How lucky you are to get all your dear ones attending your convocation. I am proud of youuuu. I wish at least I could attend your marriage. Do you want to visit USA. Come I will take care of you. Sindhu darling once again my good wishes for a bright future.

bhuvaneshwar trip
the trip was good n rejuvenating n an eye opener on sindhu. she has turned from a shy introvert to a confident glowing post graduate. xavier's has done a lot of good to her. attending the convocation sort of makes one feel younger. the dinner served was great. the train journeys where half the time was spent was comfortable n companiable. we missed everyone who was not there.anandi brt a groovy tomatoe chutney over which she had spent 4hrs cooking n stirring on a low flame. kappu cooked a good lunch for us to carry n a better dinner when we returned. her flat is welcoming n the breeze floating in in the evening is like being at the marina. at the jeganath temple we were delayed becos the big b n jaya bachan chose to visit it at the exact time we did. there was no stampede like in t. nadu on seeing him , but the talk all around was didi u see bachan. it had made their visit more fruitful than just seeing god jeganath, just like in slum dog millionaire.
a big thanks to kallu for the invite to join her n the whole lot of trouble she took the past 2 months organising it, booking n cancelling tickets , arranging the hotel stay etc. it was not a trip like say seeing the niagra, or visiting disney land to go ooo haa about. but a good family break n good to have dad too with us. ponni is wanting an all female trip i hear. that sounds good. better it be a day train trip, since that is one of the best part. next in line is sindu's wedding trip. sindu don't curse me but we r all looking forward to it. isn't it so everybody?

Mid seventies.
An interesting character joins 90SC. Lalli Aunty. First and foremost she was not
a doctor. Or an engineer. Later she also became a doctor but a different one at that.
A fun loving person with a merry laughter she was a live wire. She was also very good
at cooking. For Ealachelvi's 16 th birthday there was a party. A mutton preparation with
Worcestorshire sauce was so good that the people who served like aunty's sister's
daughter was left with nothing but the oohs and aahs of the guests. Poor girl.
Ealachelvi's bharadha natyam training started very early. Aunty was a tough taskmaster.
I got to watch Ealachelvi dance in Dr. Ravi Kumar's marriage. It was utterly captivating.
Her movements were mesmerising. Later when I joined Chandra's academy of Table tennis
I saw many parents like Aunty who made their kids sweat 4 hours a day. If you are
interested in excellence then start very early.

90SC becomes an election office
Hi all,
Let me write about the days when 90SC was an election office. Janaardhanam alais
Magudapathi alais Mullu mama contested the MLC election around 1979 or 80 and
the house became an election office.
The Members of Legislative council are elected by learned people, people who have
finished college, notoriously lazy people. You cannot have meetings and others you
have with Assembly elections. Lists of voters have to be obtained and letters have
to be sent to them.
As I was in Salem, studying for my engineering I was asked to canvas in Salem.
It was quite an experience.
Mama was at the heights of his popularity. He was AIADMK's candidate. But all
the work was done by family and friends.
The counting was done at the collector's office. Mama won easily.
It was a great time for the family. AIADMK Functionarys grudgingly admitted
that mama had won on his own. Mama quickly told them that without their
help(?) he could not have won. A true politician!

Kallu -Three and million cheers for her
The book has been viewed by me as I am in cbe , and i am really stunned by the enormous effort that has gone into it, Including a photo of Rao Sahib and all the others including all the new kids on the block
Its a phenomenal effort and unless you get the colour print version, it wouldnt last ages and I think its worth more than Rs 1000 but as Kallu doesnt want more than 1000 Rs per book I was so forced to pay only that
So dont read this online !
Its really very very good and Thanks again kallu for doing this huge effort
