Did I miss anyone in my family?

Its since a week I have stepped into my wonderful home where I find “arms” extended to sooth me when my mind fails to convince my emotions, “kisses” to coalesce my thoughts, “encouragement” to empower me, “advices” to transport me uphill, “hugs” to remind me that “solitude” is not a word defined in the dictionary of life, “pats” to the hard earned feathers to my cap, “smiles” to comfort me that am in the right place, “expressions” to make my presence appealing, a “classic touch” that puts me to sleep when am entangled with work, “shoulders” to lean on when the whole world is against me, and my own home where I could be just “myself” !!

Since many days I have penned my thoughts and just the sight of “IL” made my inner mind to visualize a “bounty rainbow” that becomes a treat for our senses when the land is dry and expecting a drop of tear from the mother of the earth, yes, I call the “sky” mother of this wonder land. Likewise, it’s a call from my mother site that always puts me into the active mode.

Did I miss anyone in my family? I would really like to quote certain instances here, where I missed many of my good friends and well wishers whom IL blessed me with.

First of all, it’s Vijimma (Vijikrishnan) who’s enduring tone of “kutty ponnu” I missed. Vijimma is a sort of a person who is very kind and extremely lovable. Though had a couple of telephonic conversations and chats with her, we got a chance to meet at the Good Life centre and thus sparked our relationship. She gifted me with a beautifully framed Iskcon Radha Krishnar who brings happy tears to my eyes everyday morning when I get up to feel the fresh dawn. She also painstakingly designed a jewel (chain) that shines red with golden shade and handed over me the same on that day when it was time to part. I love you Vijimma. Thank you so much for your affection and care.

It is Chithu sis (anandchithra) who comes to my mind next. She is a person who is very much dedicated to her work and never has failed me to send a short and sweet PM telling me that its time to kick my sack, when I used to sit and write late night. She ordered me to “retain” my old hair cut when I leave to work (had a cut and left open hair a couple of months back, when she asked me to mail my photo I sent her the one I liked the most). A person who has always encouraged me in public and also the very first person to make me climb up the Finest Post Platform. The short and sweet one line PMs has always left me speechless. I love you Chithu sis. Thank you very much for your loving gestures.

I would go mad if I do not utter Srini ma’am (Sriniketan) who has been at my back to pat me and to push me up the ladder in my Bhagawad Gita thread. Never can I forget to pay her my gratitude. A very soft and straight forward person whom I like the most here. I say very little because my tears roll down to speak the rest ma’am. Love you Srini ma’am. Thank you very much for portraying your own self and has always left a deep impact in my heart.

The bold and courageous Shanthi ma’am (Shanvy) is always a person whom I can approach in a friendly manner and who has never taken a seat at the back when it came to encouraging the new comers with their creations. In spite of her bad health conditions, I got a chance to meet the lovely Poet at Good Life centre where she portrayed pure affection. I always pray to the Almighty for showering you with a good health to prosper ma’am. The very first action that comes to my mind when I think of you is your call to me to frame my thoughts for your blog “Why Arjuna?” and I still remember how your blog left me thinking for the entire day. Love you Shanthi ma’am. My love to Charu and Srivats. Thank you very much for all the encouragement and support. I need them always.

Very light hearted and outspoken Veda anna (Vysan) is a person whom I treasure the most for he had been encouraging me in all ways. I had always loved to interact with my virtual anna who adviced me where ever possible by his caring and cute PMs. Love you anna. Thank you very much for extending the pure relationship.

My dear most Egyptian Queen, I had many a time dreamed of you in the Egyptian costume Aruna ma’am. And to speak my heart, you were awesome. I really missed you and your sweet masti posts during these days. I still remember your sweet PM when I lost (sorry, won) the anniversary contest. It was rejuvenating and I read the same many a time even now. A treasure indeed. Love you very much. Thank you for showering your heart felt love and affection.

It will not be fair on my part if I do not mention Saikripa akka (gsaikripa). She is a sweet and caring person who PMed me to ask my mail id and regularly chats with me when am online even if she is busy. A kind person who never forgets to message me on festive days, just to convey her regards to my parents and grand mom. Love you Saikripa akka. Thank you very much for the relationship you extended and treasure.

It is Sundari ma’am (Sunkan ji) whose works has always adorned the forums here. A person who has encouraged me always in all my endeavors. The words of wisdom will remain to linger throughout ma’am. Love you and thank you very much for the affection and care that you made my heart to treasure.

My spirits soar high when ever I go through the user name and yes, it is one and only Soaring Spirit ma’am who has taken all initiatives in both encouraging me at good times for any achievement and has also led me to tears with her soothing words. Love you and thank you very much ma’am for having given a space for me in your heart.

A good relationship that was extended by Moonbeams ma’am through the anniversary contest will always be treasured and rejoiced. Love you and thank you very much ma’am for having liked all my posts and have encouraged me through out.

A fatherly Kamal ji has always left me bound with expressions with his innovative, thought provoking, and humor intended blogs. Up on the stage, hosting my college culturals and Placement day function, my memories revolved around “Up in the smoke” and suddenly started to pray my dear most friend. I always pray the Almighty to retain you in the best of your health and to radiate your joy around. Love you and thank you very much for your kind support and encouragement.

Dear most blogger friend, Meen sis (Meenloch) who has always encouraged me with her pyari replies and feedback. I had remained silent in all your quizzing trivia, but to say the truth, I did find a couple of answers and checked the same with my dad. Love you and thank you very much for you kind and lovable support.

I would love to extend my hearty regards to Pushpavalli ma’am and Srinivasan sir, whose garden and home made me experience a heavenly atmosphere during my first IL meet. A very kind and gentle person who tied me with her active response even at a age that warrants a peaceful rest. Your feedbacks to all my blogs, addressing me the “Meera”, have always brought the smiles in my entire nerves and muscles ma’am. Love you and thank you very much for all your blessings and support.

My chocolate friend who had become close enough in a very short time will be going through this blog of mine silently and Even if I had forgotten, I know I would not have lost my position in her heart. Yes, that’s Malspie ma’am who had always encouraged me and been my side when ever needed. She entitled my relationship with grace and welcomed me into her own land of happiness and comfort zone. Love you Malspie and thank you very much for that “sugar coated” love and affection.

A writer who blossomed her way with the best of March entries and marched ahead in all our hearts with a red carpet- Devika Menon ji. I had been a silent reader in many of her posts but I should agree that her creations always had stroke a chord in me and has made me wonder when will I reach such a great target. An inspirer. Love you ma’am. Thank you very much for your care and support. All the best to win many more such daring contests. I say daring because, it needs a lot of courage and support to open up tender topics like you had done!

Lovable and kind Ansh ma’am had always been my side and has showered with what is called pure love and affection. I always pray the Supreme for your well being and that of your daughter’s. Love you and thank you very much for the graceful relationship ma’am.

Ooppss, I see the Lioness roaring with rage and affection (ha ha ha). My dear most friend Meenakshi (MeenaNeelakantan) who had become close only through IL. Her kind gestures in encouraging me had always been the best moments I had enjoyed thoroughly. Love you dear. Thank you so much for your love and affection. May the God bless you with all his blissful radiations.

I found a younger sister in Maya and I thank all those who gave a vent to their emotions in the Masti thread. Or should I say a hijacker’s thread? Love you Maya. Thank you very much for having been accepting my invite to the world of a new relationship. God bless. (conti....)

A silent inspirer and reader of my threads have made me to think and ponder on her culinary skills and expertise. Yes, our dear most Chithra ji (Chitvish). Though have communicated many a time face to face during IL meet ups, we have remained silent to share our feelings heart to heart when it came to expressing here. Love you ma’am. Thank you very much for your inspiration. May the Madurai Meenakshi stream line her aura and send down the radiance to protect you through out your fruitful life.

My lovely dear Kamla ma’am, who has never forgotten to praise me lavishly on screen. My dear most soul mate she had been when I “won” the anniversary contest. She won my heart and I hers and thus I won the entire contest. Her gentle way of expressing emotions to console me when I needed, has really made me feel am in “my home” with all the care and comfort. When I see her signature or the user name in my threads, I experience the wafting winds of clods nine. A great writer and a down to earth person who not only has inspired me silently, but also has made me feel proud by the crowned relationship. Meet you soon ma’am. Love you so much and thank you for all the support and affection shared.

A person who won my heart and emotions with her tribute to her father, which encouraged me to write on the similar lines to my daddy! Yes, lovable Vidya ma’am has been a source of stimulant and inspirer in all my writings. Her friendship is much sort after and will be looked on carefully with a caring heart. Love you and thank you very much ma’am for the love and affection that was selflessly showered by your good self on me.

The modest and hard working Vandhana ma’am, has always been a person close to my heart, not only because she has a name similar to that of my college’s best friend, but also the attitude that she portrays has kindled my inner instincts many a time. Her work in Team C had been excellent and commends a standing ovation. Love you so much and thank you ma’am for you had admiringly done your duty at all levels.

My goodness, turning back pages, I just realized that my tribute had gone beyond three pages in word document.


Always in any function, if we notice carefully and closely, the legends name will be addressed at the last and also will be called upon to the Dias to deliver their words of wisdom just before the Vote of thanks, just to hold the gathering’s pulse and patience. Yes, I also would follow the suit when it comes to paying my tribute and garlanding Cheeniya sir and Varalotti sir (chithappa?) with my heart’s grace. They had really been very kind to this amateur writer and had painstakingly left their presence when I had dropped in my feedbacks to their blogs. The tough but relevant topics that Cheeniya sir handles had left me in soup many a time and I had taken enough time to ponder upon, to orient my thought with a global view, and to speak my heart in his blogs. But, the replies to mine were brilliant and made me think again on the same lines. The knowledge, wisdom, expertise, attitude, and character portrayed by the two legends are vast, beyond the limits of my capable reasoning. The closeness in relationship I felt and treasured when I became familiar to Varalotti sir in his “Will you play with me”. The bond tightened through the anniversary contest, should I say it became much stronger than the triple bond formed between the atoms existing in nature? The mention of our (my feelings and Kamla madam’s motherly approach in tackling me) in the Finest Posts moved me to tears sir. I bow my heart silently in front of your legendary appearances and whole heartedly ask your noble selves to bless me in all my endeavors ahead. (Varalotti chithappa.. Today your Will you walk with me, will you sit with me, all will experience this soul’s emotions. Beware) Love you Cheeniya sir and Love you my BF Varalotto sir. Thank you both so much for the kind and beaming inspiration that you had showered. I pray the Supreme to bless you with a healthy and peaceful life as needed.

Dear most other ILites, kindly accept my apologies for not having mentioned my name. I blame my memory now for having taking rest when it comes to remembering the names. I have done my best here. But that does not mean those who have not been mentioned are not close enough. My gray matter is filled with your enthusiastic responses and feedbacks and I always treasure who treasure my relationship the most. My heart felt regards, love and affection for all of you here.

My heart felt thanks and Love to Sumathy aunty (Krishnaamma), if not for her; all these words of praise would go meaningless. Thank you so much aunty for guiding me to IL and have constantly encouraging me telling that I would definitely like IL if I start to rejoice each and every moment of my stay here. I always pray the Almighty to shower you with the best of health and wealth and to keep Krishna anna and Sundar uncle the happiest persons in the world.

Oh my dearest Malathy ma’am (IndusLady), what a creation of yours! An extraordinary community where I never had minded to speak what I had felt and still does feel at home and not offended. Even in a small family, gossips and politics crib their way and eat away the healthy atmosphere. Here in IL, a huge community that spans every heart beats around her in a closely knit fashion, I see your vigilant attitude and your striving hard nature for excellence. I had always thoroughly enjoyed my stay here and always feel this is the platform I had been waiting for years to portray and show case my interests and works. Love you so much ma’am. Thank you very much for your enthusiasm and encouragement to push me up the track of success.

Love
RamyaVaradharajan

Dear Ramya,

Thats a very nice write up, and to be sure you were missed too. I was just wondering where you had disappeared and then put it down to your studies.
Now that you are back, be a good girl and you and Meena send in your entries for the April contest of the best prank you pulled or was pulled on you. No excuses, being in college, am sure you have pulled someones leg sometime or the other.

Vandhana

We too missed you Ramya...thought of PMing you soon...( don't think it as an excuse like when called over the phone, I thought of you and was about to ring you....not in those lines)

You cannot expect me to write like you expressing your feelings very nicely. I am always short of words to express them.

Happy to see that I am in your list...it is only in my own selfish nature, to finish reading Bhagawad Gita atleast once in my life time made me do so...

As a result of this I am blessed...now I am reading Bhagawad Gita through my parents who are on a visit here..Thanks Ramya for that...

Dear Ramya
very well written.. good luck:)

Dearest Ramya,

Oh how you steal hearts!!
Its so wonderful of you to have put all of us on such high pedestal ,probably you wouldnt see us here for some time,coz we'll be all floating.
I loved what you've written. I wish I could laminate it and keep it somewhere close , so that I can look at it and feel so honoured and inspired by the words of one of the great writers among us , who is modesty personified. You my dear are very gifted. At such a young age , you write wonderfully well !! A versatile person who can speak about Harry Potter and Swami Vivekananda in the same breath . Not many can do that dear!

Great things dont merely come in small packages , some come in young packages too! And Ramya one of them is you!
We all missed you and hope you wouldnt be playing truant with your absence anymore . You are a neccessary vision in our campus you see!
God bless you!!

Love,
Devika

My dear most Ramaya dear

My dearest Srini ma'am,

"True friends need not converse through words". The frequency of their beats can be very well felt even with the so-called distance barrier !! Yes. I always believe in this ma'am. I know that you would have at least for a second thought about this girl here in Chennai :):)

Thank you very much. Am happy that you liked what ever I had expressed. Should I say, I expressed what you wanted to ?!!! Your selfishness here is for a good cause only ma'am. Even I started reading the same like that only. Told my father that, at least I should get the A,B,C of what Lord Krishna had said !!!

Great that you have your parents with you now. My regards to them. May you have an enjoyable and memorable time with them :)

Love
RamyaVaradharajan
