Recently I wrote about two functions on the same day (Read here). That was on 02 June.
This happened again on 17th and 21 June. 17th (Thursday) was the 4th birthday of Aditi which we celebrated in the evening (Read). In the morning, there was the marriage of the daughter of Mr TS Jayaraman, my former colleague at DRDL Hyderabad. I know TSJ since 1969 from my Poona days. The marriage was at Hotel Swagath, Royapettah High Road. At the venue, I met a few of my old, almost-forgotten colleagues of 1960s to 2001. It was a pleasure to see them again after 40 or 10 years!
I had worked "under" Mr Prabhakar from 1963 to 1974 in Poona. We two went to Yugoslavia in Sept - Oct 1969 for 35 days and stayed together in Hotel Slav, Beograd (Belgrade). Those and other memories rushed when I saw him. Today he is in his late 70s and a frail man. Lives alone in Tiruvallikkeni.
On 21 June (Monday), it was a Upanayanam in the early hours (6-7.30AM). Neeraja's cousin (he is in US). Neeraja and Ashok had come from Bangalore to attend this. After the Brahmopadesam and a heavy breakfast (why do they serve ice-cold idlies always?) we returned home.
Evening it was the Nicchaya thaartham of Deepak - son of Kumar who is the cousin of Vijaya. Vijaya and I went to attend it. It was at Valasarawakkam and our ride in bus 5E could be a topic for a future post! The function was over by 6-30PM and after a really heavy dinner, we were back in 5E.
Our social "calendar" is getting choked since we left Hyderabad in Dec 2001 and settled in Madras.
