Hello everyone,
It's more than a year that any of us have blogged. Just saying hello and trying to find out how everybody is keeping so busy for more than a year without bothering to blog? It's amazing. Our Trichy Project is totally completed and currently working on some new ventures. I have also picked up my passion for organic agriculture , probably i will be posting photos in my future blogs. Hoping to see all of us back to blogging.
bye for now
Ravi.

Alyce Wedding

Alyce Wish you a very happy Married Life.- From Everyone in our family

I hope everyone is enjoying Alyce Wedding.

Hai to all, It is nice to read about your activities through the blog. The last two months have been very hectic for us. Avanthika got the first prize in the music competition at school. Her dance perforfamce also went off very well. The entire family was there to watch the show.(ravi,ramesh,suba & dandu mama). Today is my birthday and we went out for lunch. Raja and Avanthika had a surprise gift for me in the morning. I am forced to act and feel like a birthday baby by my sweet little daughter. All the celebrations are to keep her happy. Right now Raja is sleeping after the heavy lunch that he had. All three of us shall be going to Coimbatore on the 12 & 13 of this month for a family puja. Two weeks back we all went to Suba's house including Ramesh's family. We had lunch at the Sanjeevanam. (Dana I suppose you remember the place). It was real fun with all the kids. All the other things are going as per routine. Raji, it is nice to hear that you are planning to visit the US. Has the heat come down there? Bye for now. SHOBA.

Hi Everyone,
I wish all my brothers happy Raksha Bandhan.
Today Delhi is very colourful . Everyone is busy in buying Rakhi for their brothers.
Raksha Bandhan, popularly referred to as Rakhi, is a special day for brothers and sisters. The festival commemorates the unique bond shared by the siblings and is celebrated with fun and fervor, in many parts of India. On the auspicious occasion, a sacred thread - Rakhi - is tied on the brother's wrist by his sister. This symbolizes her love and affection for his brother. The festival is the time to have fun with siblings.

Birthday

Hi everyone,
Nice to see you all in the blog. Yesterday was my birthday. Office people celebrated my birthday and I had nice fun in the office. I have got my passpost and I am also planning to visit you all. Raji

All is well here:) We are happily diving into summer activities. We went to the beach for a day (it's a 2 hour drive), swimming, and many, many picnics. It seems we have a picnic for every reason we can think of. We call it a cookout, we literally cook outside on a grill and eat outside. We had one for my nefew's induction into the Army, then we had one 2 days later for his graduation from College. We had one for Independence day and we had a few just for fun. Not all of them were at our house. The one we had for Raju's employees was at our house. We had such a wonderful time. It was exciting to see such a larger crowd this year because of all the people Raju has hired. They brought their family members as well.

Shoba, you are a real champ in my book for helping Avanthika with all those activities. I don't know how she keeps up with it all! I think she will be a super star in whatever field she pursues. Did she tell me she wanted to be an architect? I won't soon forget the lovely singing and dance she did for us when we were there. It looks like she works very hard at all her activities.

Raji, good to hear from you:) Are you ready to get out of hot, sweltering Delhi and come to the cool (by comparison) U.S.? We would be so happy for you to come and stay with us for a while. I'm sure Raju would have you helping him in some way with his business. He puts the kids and me to work. We really enjoy being a part of what Daddy is doing. The boys got shirts with the company logo on it and they are proudly wearing them. They mostly just empty the dust bins, but they are hardworking, proud members of Daddy's team.

Raju is traveling this week. The boys think he has a very glamorous job. From their perspective, he gets to fly on airplanes whenever he wants, he sleeps in nice hotels with pools, and eats at the restaurants of his choice. Of course, from Raju's perspective, he has to fly on crowded planes at odd hours of the day and night, misses his own bed, and eats terrible food, and misses his family. But I must say he loves his work and is happy to provide for his family.

I am going to work on putting a slide show of our pictures from India into the blog, so you can all see them. My friend has done it and I will get her to help me tomorrow.

I haven't heard from Rama. Did she and Akshaya go back to India for summer break? How is Subha doing and Lakshmi, and Aishwarya, and Sujatha and all the children? We would love to hear from all the rest.

Love from all of us:)

Dana, Raju, Sanjay, And Vijay
