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

I know aunty,I have to squirm when I see the tamil part.
I got it typed and proof read in ooty, then took it to cbe on a pendrive to be printed. It didnt work there, had to be hastily retyped and so the shoddy work.
I sincerely apologize for the bad work.
Will have it redone.
