Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

With regards,

​Dear Usha and Mr. Parekh,
We received both of your letters and will meet you at HCP's residence for dinner on January 12th evening.
We do understand the time constraints and this proposal makes great sense.
We are eagerly looking forward to our India trip and spending time with you.

Mr. Parekh, please email us your residence address for our records.
Regards,
Ratnam & Vani

Dear Vani & Ratnam,

My daughter Amala and her family will be here only for very few days and
have planned a holiday with me on 6th, 7th & 8th January 2018 and
therefore I will meet you at Hemang Parekh's home as he has invited me
for a dinner with you on 12th January 2019.

With warm regards,
Usha

Dear Usha,
Thank you for your detailed reply.
We are very glad to hear about Amala and Anand's visit to Mumbai in December. We hope that we also get to meet them at Mumbai.
We are very sure you are eagerly awaiting their arrival.

We fine-tuned our India itinerary and, per the latest plan, we are scheduled to arrive in Mumbai on the evening of January 6th.
We are scheduled to leave for Pune and Pandharpur in the early morning hours on January 8th. and plan to return to Mumbai by the evening of January 10th. We plan to depart for US on January 15th.

Our proposal:
We would like to meet you at lunchtime on January 7th.
Would this be convenient for you based on your schedule?
Please let us know. Thank you.

With our love,
Vani & Ratnam

Dear Vani & Ratnam,

Thank you for your email. Amala and family are also coming on 26th December evening and I have yet to know their plans in India, which includes Coimbatore, Chennai and Mumbai. I am glad you plan to visit Chennai as those Sabhas are excellent. Amala and Ram have been many times to these Sabhas and I went once. I also like your idea of going to religious and architectural places. I am likely to know Amala's program by end of November and will write to you. Meanwhile, 7th January evening seems to be a possible date as many visitors come during December and January. I will keep in touch with you and definitely find a suitable day. Please do not bring anything. Your visit will make me happy and we can talk about Ram and his friends like you.

With warm regards,
Usha Krishna

Dear ,
Hope you are doing well. 

With the gradual influence of creeping age, we seem to be nursing issues which we never had to worry a decade earlier. These aside, we are doing as well as we can.

We plan to visit India from the middle of December, 2018 through middle of January, 2019. 
We are scheduled to land in Chennai and stay there till 6h of January, 2019.
Major focus at this period at Chennai is to:
  • enjoy the legendary 'Music Season', during which time more than 25 'Sabhas' stage classical music/ dance programs (including Lec-Dem's) from 8 AM through  10 PM every day; all the famous and upcoming Artistes participate. Daily schedule of programs at each location is published ahead of time and 'Rasikas' would be seen hopping from venue to venue. Each Association boasts a well run Cafe' catering high quality Breakfast-Dinner to the connoisseurs for a price.
  • Around the beginning of 2019, we plan to embark on a 5-Day whirlwind Road trip to visit famous sites of religious/ architectural importance. One of the added highlights is visiting- FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME- my father's native village, near Thanjavur.
We plan to arrive in Mumbai on the evening of January 6th and visit Pune/ Pandharpur (Temple) from January 8 through 10. 
After this, we plan to stay in Mumbai from January 11-15 and depart for SFO  on the evening of January 15th.
During this time (January 11 to 14), we would like to visit you and have Lunch or dinner or both (😊😊) with you.

Please review your schedule and advise a convenient date and time. We can travel to a place of your place.
The main purpose is to meet you in person and enjoy your company.

Also...
What would you like us to bring for you from here? We are aware that everything is available in India and you understandably have most of the needs.
It will make us happy if you could recommend something- Anything- that we can get for you.
Please let us know.
We are eagerly looking forward to our India trip and meeting you all.

Regards,
Vani & Ratnam
