happy mama with his great grand son

noddy.






hi everybody,

my patience wore thin and i developed a mild headache by the time sanjus turn came.I went there at 10 and  his turn was at 12.   he recited the song well but was too inhibited to do the few actions that i had carefully rehearsed with him. luckily the school was smart enough to give all participants a book so the fact that he did not get the prize was glossed over.

please see the attached photos taken at home.  

kar glad to see tht u are atleast able to take a few days off for camping.  thats good. here sajit goes to his cricket practise by cycle so my chauffering is limited to mainly sanju.  even then this sunday was hectic dropping off and picking the two alternately for cricket and painting class, buying vegetables, at one place and groceries at the other.  so much so u dont want to go out anywhere.

sindhu , all of us are happy to see some life in u atlast. sajit of course misses u while eating or trying out some crazy food on sundays.

lot of nri visits on this month,  babu and ram and family--darshu i am not commenting on anybody !!!!

Hey everyone
Its nice to open the blog every morning and get all the family news. And its turning out to be a fun blog. Havent got much time to post here yet.
My one and only post turned out to be very controversial :) sorry if I ruffled any feathers. I amend my statement to say that Dhruv is a very cute baby, just like all the other babies in our family. Medha looks adorable in the photgraph u posted Ravi chitappa :) . And Surya and Sanjay and Uthra and Sajit and Haru and Sindhu.... were all amazingly cute babies
Am here in office on a saturday because i hope to get a compensatory off for this. I need all the leave I can get. For all those planned trips home :) How many people are planning to come to Cbe for deepavali? Ravi chitappa are u gonna make your weekly trip to India during that time?
Sindhu your post was really nice to read. Great to know ur having so much fun.
And Kapu chitti how did the fancy dress go? I kept thinking aobut Sindhus tricycle idea.. but dont really think it will work. How would you fit the thermocol with the pedals in between?
Work tends to get kinda monotonous so wait for the weekends all the time. We have palnned a trip to a beach nearby this weekend, hope we get neough people to come. :) Karthy chitti give me some tips on places I should see.

What's in a name

Back from a star -red naming ceremony altho the king got named
1) Dhruv- Pole Star after the Dhruva -saint . Dhruv also has a host of other meanings, including unshakable
2) Arjun-Peacock
3) Aditya -Sun

Sindhu alias Archana warns of the troubles that having a name beginning with A brings. But A is now in fashion and the list itself in school is long. So says, Ramu , father of Aryaman and Avinash.
Aswata, please give us a post on the travails and nice stuff.

The Penguin book is very interesting and sometime we must dig up everyone's names.

The function grew from a homely one where not many relatives were invited to one which included all the colony and more- including Appa' new found celebrity friend the Mayor. He turned up in his official car with fanfare satisfying everyone. It was held at the Lions Club mandapam behind to accommodate everyone easily.
Food from Annapoorna with outsourcing of cauliflower fry, brinjal and vendakkai chips and lichee pudding - all from different sources. 80 people had lunch.

Decor backdrop and cradle by Amudha in blue and white scheme.

The cradle used was the old traditional one from Selvi-Selva inspite of a spanking new one being available.

Prasanna was the photographer and duly disappointed.

Relatives were representational with Ravi-Sri, Goutham-Gomathi, Manikumari, me and Karthik's parents.

Karthik has produced a wonderful baby book , very neatly and imaginatively presented with his baby and wife.

Someone else has to post photos.

Kar, I take spoken English for the neigbourhood kids twice a week after school. other subjects are taught by a teacher whom we've hired. We meaning, our Foundation ForAGoodoz run by a few college friends.
