70th Birthday

70th Birthday - Rajaram (Chitti) Anna

It happened to be the 70th birthday of Rajaram Anna, my father’s cousin and I accompanied my parents to the lunch they had arranged. There were about 20+ people and we had a good time.


I was made the official photographer there as I was the youngest and walked up and down clicking away the camera.

Lunch began with a tomato soup and some delicious starters, followed by a great variety to choose from – rotis, pulav as well as plain rice and even chaat. The side dishes were yummy as usual, but the part I liked best as always was the array of desserts. In fact before the other guests arrived I made it a point to photograph the dessert spread.

Post lunch Anna cut the birthday cake while we all sang for him.

We wound up with a cup of coffee. All in all it was good fun with a lovely ambience and very pleasant company.

Thank you Anna and Manni!

Sabai (சபை) Ladies Club

Sabai Ladies Club - First meeting

We, the wives of the KK Nagar Sabhai guys decided to party alone as only our men have been enjoying all along! The guys have been neighbourhood friends from their school/college days and we ladies came to know each other only after getting married to our respective guys. The ladies usually get to meet each other only during any function at one of the friends’ places and maybe at the kids’ schools.


The first step was to have a lunch party at one of our houses. This happened last Sunday.

A van was arranged and all the ladies and kids were picked up from their respective homes. We were about nine adults and children. Lunch was ordered from a caterer along with many goodies. The party started with a cake cutting.

The kids had a great time playing. The ladies basically sat around and relaxed, chatting about everything under the Sun including movies, cookery, various schools and education system, problems we face in the family and of course our men! Lunch was nice with a sweet and ice-cream thrown in.

              Post lunch the kutti kids slept for a while and the big ones continued playing. We continued our chat and finally winded up after tea.

                 All in all it was good fun and we hope to have more such interactions in the future with or without our men!
