Monday, February 15, 2010. Sister Baby in Mysore. We thought we were on time, but the train - Cauvery Express. Had arrived 20 minutes early. Sister Baby was waiting at a virtually deserted Platform 4. She collected her baggage and started walking (limping) towards us as she spotted me approaching her from the other end of the platform. This would be a big help for those of us who don't use cell phone. And there are still a suprising large number of rail passengers who don't have cell phone. The idea is t...

Our Pollachi Clan: December 2012
http://ourpollachiclan.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html
Friday, December 14, 2012. Saraswati, a singer in our clan. Recorded this video clip during our recent visit to my cousin Saraswati's place at Ganapathy, Coimbatore. In most households we tend to take for granted the talent within our family. I knew Saraswati has a flair for music, but I thought she generally went for filmi gaana. And I was aware she dabbles in writing lyrics set to popular movie tunes. Links to this post. Looking for his family roots. We reproduce excerpts from an e-mail he sent us:.

Monday, August 24, 2009. Bathing Ganapathy in milk and honey. Mom said Nikhil/Sidharth could give Ganesha a bath for Vinayaka chaturthi, if they shower and get dressed first. The brothers were ready by 10 a m. Which was rather early for a Sunday morning. Who delayed the proceedings; she wasn't quite ready, with milk,honey,sugar,yogurt and ghee. Sidharth and Nikhil had to wait for the elders in the house,who appeared to take their time. Sidharth no longer had any issues with going. At the puja Sidharth an...

Saturday, October 31, 2009. My wife's sisters, all but the eldest, are mad about dogs. Before her marriage,in early 70s, her family had Bhutto, the dog named after the Pak.leader. After their marriage the Sulur sisters brought up dogs of their own - Geetha had two in the house before 'Punch' died some time back. Bitsy moved with the family, from Bhopal to Chandigarh, and then to Chennai, where he died, after prolonged weakening of his hind-legs. He could barely stand in his last days. It was on t...Knowi...
