BIRTH CENTENARY OF THATHA - WRITTEN TRIBUTES (Report by Radha)Please click on the links in Table after my report ends to read the articles in the Souvenir. The souvenir has clearly shown that we have many good writers in the family apart from those few who regularly write in the Family newsletter. The book has come out extremely well, i have read, re read and re read. There has been enormous amount of reception for this book amoung my friends in my office and Thatha has become the sung hero now!
Finally the long eagerly awaited souvenir was released. Vijaya mami gave the first copy to Amma amidst applause. Mohan immediately rushed to the stage to help out all the distributions. The cover of the souvenir was the cynosure of all eyes. Aarthi deserves a lot of kudos for designing such a beautiful cover. And I was also amazed and happy that Aarthi helped quite a lot during the function.

Souvenir was presented to one person per family. On the whole the function was well attended, heart filling and memorable. Mama had meticulously arranged every thing and later amma, parthasarathy mama, aarthi, uri, ravi, srinidhi and I along with Mahesh and Gopal went to Uri’s place to have dinner (the same food).
