Weekender

Had been to T.Nagar with Magesh and Sekar for Diwali shopping. Got myself a kurta and a pair of jeans. When we came out of Chennai Silks, we ran into TV crew from SUN Network. A short comment from Kala about the current shopping trends was shot and was aired during the news telecast the same day evening. You could have seen Sridhar and me standing behind her and giggling! But, alas, Magesh and Sekar who convinced Kala to speak up, so that we could appear on the tv, were badly missed out of the frame.

Sunday was Sekar's parent's 25th wedding anniversary. He had invited the whole gang to his home. And the trio's popularity had grown overnight. Many of his neighbours came down and asked if we were the ones who appeared on the tv. With a nod and a smile we proceeded our way into his home.

It was a wonderful event that Sekar had organised. He threw up a surprise celebration for his parents. Mrs. and Mr. Jayaraman were truely surprised at their son's arrangements for their anniverary. Sekar's neighbors also joined us in the party. There was mimicry, there were advices for the children (that's for us!!), there were serious discussions (about future, responsibilities, marriage, love etc. etc..) Sekar had been absolutely quiet through out all these. It was Thennal who had been active pulling each others legs now and then. It was more than three hours of chatting and fun until we finished it off with a lunch at Saravana Bhavan. I enjoyed the Day!

And Arvind is coming to Chennai next Saturday. Eagerly looking forward to meet him after about six months..
