Dear HCP,

We are thrilled to receive your kind reply and are even more eager to visit you and Bharati during our Mumbai visit.

We have read the contents of your letter carefully.

It is nice of you to accommodate our visit, especially when your own trip (to your native place) is round the corner. 

As of now, 12th January Lunch time at your home looks fine.

We will confirm the date and time again when we are in Mumbai. 

It is very generous of you to have offered your place of stay as well as transportation.

In Mumbai, we propose to stay with Vani's younger sister Gayatri Govindrajan, who lives near Chembur Naka in Chembur.

Regarding transportation, our Brother in law has already told us he would take care of our transportation and other needs while we are in Mumbai.

We feel very lucky to have such affectionate friends and family in Mumbai.

I have saved your Mobile number and will be in touch with you.

Please convey our best respects and regards to your Bharati and our regards to Vishesh, Nirmit and their families.

Regards,

Vani and Ratnam

Dear PCSR,

Happy to know about your planned visit to Mumbai between 11-15 Jan

My entire family looks forward to this visit and invite Vani / yourself , to have lunch with us at our residence on 12 Jan ( Saturday ) , if OK with you

If you are not staying with your brother in Chembur , please plan on staying with us

If you need a car / driver,  during your visit , just let me know , when and where

And many thanks for your offer but as you rightly observed , with each passing day , personal needs / desires are diminishing !

Do phone ( 98,67,55,08,08 ) after your arrival in Chennai

On 21-23 Dec , we will be gone to our village ( Vadia ) in Saurashtra where we have built a school in the name of my parents

On 24 Dec , we plan to visit the Statue of Unity ( of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel ) near Ahemedabad

At 182 meter , it is the highest statue in the world ( built by L&T , in 3 years time )

Recently L&T also got order to construct a statue of Shivaji Maharaj , some 2 km into the sea at Haji Ali , which will be 200+ meters tall

Bharati joins me in sending her regards to both of you

Importance: High

Dear HCP,

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
