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 Hasita ma’am

Thanks for writing here! Yes ma’am you are exactly right in saying that she is the life of any party! I came to know this only yesterday. She is very active, but she often tells that she is the senior most “Vetti Officer” of her area!!

Love
Meena

Thoughtful memories that continue to linger

Eh dear Meenakshi, ummm... I can sense the "pathetic" situation of the cake if it had been among us ("remember our friendship day celebration last year at college:chee rs)

We all just had the aroma being smelled (applied as if it was a moisturizer) rather than enjoying the delicious unique taste!!

Regards
RamyaVaradharajan


I told little Krish that I ll come on his birthday only if he is ready to give me one full kg cake. He immediately responded, ‘Enaku cake pidikaadhu, neeyae yellam eduthuko”..was so sweet!!!.

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!!!!!!!!!!!

Dear Janani ma’am

I must say thanks to you for your thread - “Discuss about the eat outs in and around your area”.. We would not have become close n met if not for your thread. Thanks a lot ma’am.

Will meet you soon ma’am in some other venue..

Love
Meena

Dear Meena,
My Belated Happy Birthday Wishes for you..
Your write up was too good that I felt that I am actually having the lunch with you and Lata at her house... That was a nice one!!

Dear Lata,
I always enjoy your postings. .especially there would be a touch with some tamil varathaigal , here and there... From your postings, I understaood that you are family attached person, a great mom for a smart and naughty Krishna, and have lots of sense of humour.. But from the postings here, I understood you are too humble too...
I enjoyed all the photos and I always think that when I come down to chennai, I should meet you and Chitra Mam, Shanvy ,Meena. Hope you can also introduce me to other IL's from Chennai whom I have missed here.I am really proud to be a part of ILite family. No day pass by without logging in to ILite. I am planning to come down in May.. Hope you would be available.. I am from Selaiyur, Chennai...

BTW, your house is very clean. I read one of your postings about decorating the Arch and Meena has explained how beautiful it is.

Keep going...

Regards
Priya

Hey Ria,
Thanks a ton for the instant invite to your place! You bet I will take you up on this one day soon. I was in SFO Nov last year. I may be planning a business trip there sometime in the next couple months. So you are on the hook girl!

BTW, your company will be the icing on the cake. So the rest is really immaterial. Gosh, I can only imagine the gush of excitement that I will experience when I meet another ILite!

Dear Latamurali,
Thanks for your words of praise for my writing. It makes me really happy that you like to read some of the stuff I write.

BTW, you are being too modest by saying that you have time on your hands and that’s why you are able to keep your house so immaculate. That’s not true. The truth is that you take the efforts to do it. Not everyone does that. So just take in all the compliments and look yourself in the mirror proudly! J And of course, please continue to flash that 1000watt smile of yours!

Hi Meena,
Oh, please grace Atlanta with your visit! Would love to be a host. Make that trip dear and the “Awesome Atlantans” will surprise you pleasantly.
