Thathas with you now

Dear Shraddha,

Both your grandpas are with you now. Pl. take care of them. You are such a lovely grand daughter that you went (ages ahead of you) to take care of those poor old souls (and those to follow).

Your Triplicane Thatha born again and died today. May his soul rest in peace (at last, he doesn't have any more daughters to bring his death).

Here is a photo of you and Parthasarathy thatha.

Regards
your loving father

Happy Birthday Dear Shraddha

Hi Shraddha,

Hope you had a big bash in your heavenly abode.

Had you been around here, you would have cut a yummy cake baked by Lavanya. Charan, Pratik and Minty would have helped you in cutting the birthday cake.

With Love,
Appa, Amma and Charan

Charan's Birthday

Dear Shraddha,

Yesterday, Charan celebrated his birthday. It was a big bash. The trio of Charan, Pratik & Minati were very happy.

All his friends attended the party. Charan waited for Jayanth to come before he cut the cake baked and decorated by Lavanya.

Lavanya presented him the cricket kit. He was very happy.

I know you too joined and enjoyed the birthday. We dearly miss you.

Happy Diwali

Dear Shraddha,

Hope you enjoyed this year's Deepavali with Charan, Pratik and Minty. Every moment is re-lived with great joy and sorrow in equal proportion.

I know and feel you enjoyed every moment when the trio burst crackers or lit sparklers and flower pots. I know how you cautioned them when they are in a bit of bother while enjoying themselves.

Your Anandhi Chithi is going under knife soon. Please pray and do your little bit for her welfare and good health.

Will meet you at Charan's birthday on Nov 25th.

4 years

Dear Shraddha,
Four years on, you are still very much in our minds. We never tire of talking about you, though stories of your escapades seem too few as the years go by. One of your wishes have come true - M keeps talking about her 'Sharaddha akka' all the time!
Meanwhile, do send some of your good sense to your brother who is as stubborn as two mules, especially when it comes to his diet and health!
Lots of love,
Lavanya 

Back Again!

Dear Shraddha,

Thanks to Lavanya, I am able to access the blog and post.

Will interact with you frequently as before.

Regards,
Loving Dad.

Charan's Birthday

Hi Shraddha,

Hope you enjoyed Sriccharan's birthday on 25th November.

Poor guy, was down with fever. But was overjoyed to see all his friends and favorites turning up to wish him and enjoy the bash.

The cake was cut twice - first by Charan and then by Minty :)

He got a lot of gifts too.

Sambar rice, Kesari, Vada, Chips, orange juice - to go with the cake - yummy.

Thanks to Lavanya, he gave each one of them, a beautiful plant.

All these under your watchful eyes...
