Dear Chitvish,

I know my word 'Thank You' is going to sound very simple in front of all the time and efforts you put to host such a wonderful IL ites meet-up with a grand lunch. On top of it you keep us posted about it instantaneously.

Looks like Mrs. Cheeniya & Pushpavalli Srinivisan has joined you in making the lunch spread the more merrier. Thank you Mrs. Cheeniya (Cheeniya convey my thanks to her if you are reading this...) and Pushpavalli Srinivasan.

Varloo, special thanks in co-ordinating with the IL ites for this meet-up.

One more great thing about such meet-ups is that we get to see the faces behind the usernames with whom we have been interacting in this cyberspace.

Thank you to all those IL ites who made up to this meeting to make it a success. You are all rocking . Please come and share your experiences about meeting the co-IL ites in this meet-up.

PS: Chitvish, it 8:00am here, but I am hungry and drooling to taste your wonderful spread this early in the morning. Is it possible to Ziploc and FedEX?

Malathy

Firstly, Chithu's (I am not going to address you as Ma'am anymore) agility in keeping us posted and sharing these lovely pic's is admirable.

Secondly it is so good to see the illuminated faces behind the user id's that we know of.

Thirdly - I am admiring the sarees and salwars which we get to see here so rarely.

And last - the food spread is so tempting.

wow Chitra mam, where do you get this kind of energy? may be you need to give me some. you host the dinners and you update all the pics in the site its awesome! very nice to see all the friends on the screen again!
