I Met Mrs.LataMurali, a Pragmatist, today in her house!!!

Dear Meena,
bad bad girl, why did not you call me? I too would have come to Lata's house.
Anyway, it was so nice to see the pictures and read the details adn have the deja vu feeling. It was sweet of Lata to give you lunch at such short notice ( if this happens with me, I may end up giving you just some raw veggies, so inform me properly when you visit me.) But I have a conveneince, my place is far that it would take you at least 1 hour from the city and by the time I can cook feast for you (no way you are going to escape, ha ha ha)
Lata, it was nice to see you and even more to see your grandpa. My grandpa passed away when I was 12 and I am yearning for grandparents. Your son is lucky to have his ggpa, he must be getting good amount of love and affection.So nice!
And it is not easy to keep the house spick and span, ask me.I should take many lessons from you.As you have said, there is no parallel to Chitvish!

SS,

I would be happy to be your host,, only if you are ready to catch a flight to SFO.
I cannt gurantee clean house.. But food should be edible...

Meena,

I feel like doing exactly what you did. Feel like calling up someone and showing up at their house. But my problem is, who to call up and who will let me come over? And even if I do find someone who’d let me come over to their place, what are the chances of finding such a clean house and being offered such home-made yummies? Nil! L

hi girls,
Meena, Nice warm welcome you recd. from Lata, I must say. I like your impulsiveness :) keep it going..

Lata, I remember your infectious laughter and constant chattering away at Cm's place. You have a knack of being the life of any party :)
And its great to know that you're a great mother, and an immaculate house-keeper as well. An all-rounder!

Btw, Lata, that suggestion of booking a "Kalyana Mandapam" to have an all-IL'ites meet is great.

Until then, we can keep having our small but lively meets, never mind.
And I want to add, you ladies are so methodical and manage so much, it amazes me.

best,
Hasita

Dear Lata, Meena,
That was great you got to meet each other. Meena, you look lovlely, pull arika vendam, penne. That is the truth. Lata has given you a wnderful spread to eat.looking at the pics, Iam hungry all over again. Hope to meet you soon, Meena.

Dear Lata,
Your smile is your trademark other than your jovial nature. I loved interacting with you at Chitvish's house.You son is real cute.nice to see you here again. Keep the smiles coming and tell Krishna that we all love it. The way your house is being kept is superb, so well maintained. Great work!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Meena,

So you had a good time with LataMurali, I wish main bhi hoti with you all coz i love South Indian food.

Latha your grandpa and little Krishna are soooooooooo sweeeeeeeet.
