22 April 2015

Dear all thank you so much for your wishes smile emoticon Never thought turning 30 will be so memorable!!!

Starting from visiting Ashtalakshmi temple the previous evening on Akshaya Tritiyai which also coincidentally happened to be my star birthday,dinner with hubby Sriram Narasimhan at Rajdhani Restaurant,with messages started pouring in from 12 am both in Watsapp as well test messages,waking up to surprise birthday cake sent by parents and brother Sudersan Sridharan,gifts and blessings from my in laws and grandma,sweet wishes from my little Srivishnu,constant calls from relatives and friends,my colleagues who dropped by my cubicle to wish me on the special day,surprise gifts from my friends in office,the thought that so many people have spared few minutes of their time inspite of their busy schedule to wish me in Facebook crossing more 85 messages and more than 100 in watsapp,what more can i ask for smile emoticon smile emoticon

Not sure what i have achieved/earned in these 30 years except for a good lovable family and friends who have been by my side constantly supporting me in all my endeavors.

Looking forward to spend the rest of my life in a fruitful and useful way which would enable me to chase my dreams as well as serve the society the best way possible smile emoticon!!!!

Our dearest thatha - Posted on 16th March 2015

16th March 2015

16th March 2004,one of the days I will remember for my lifetime!!!
The whole world was busy watching India Vs Pakistan ODI (at Rawalpindi)..So was i and my brother Sudersan Sridharan !!! Guess Sachin had even scored a century..Little did we know that while we were watching the match we will be losing one of our dearest ones ----Our grandfather!!!!

He was not alright from the evening but we thought it was due to his age but with time he started shrinking..By night time he was no more with us!!!
We were fortunate of spending most of our childhood with our dearest grandfather who have told many stories,took us out for a daily walk (around mylapore like Chitrakulam,Vendanta desikar temple,Kesava perumal temple ) and so on, which many wouldn't have had a chance to experience.

Years have gone but each day definitely at least once we remember him may be when we see things/people around us something will remind us about him..Though he is not with us today his words and memories will live on with us forever as our dearest and loving grandfather smile emoticon The number of days we watched serials like Mahabharath,Shakthimaan,Yug,Ramayana,the number of temples we had visited (Tirupathi,Tiruvallur,shollingur) etc stay fresh in my mind!!

So why did i post this after so many years,hmmm may be because coincidentally today both his death date and ritual date(tamil date) fell on the same day!!! I recalled this day that year..

Phew 11 years have gone sooo quickly!!!!

Engal Manam irukkum varai un nenaivirukkum!!! Love you thatha :) ..

Miss you!!!!
