Shankar and Sudha are Priya's relatives. Sudha is Priya's cousin and she calls her as Sudha Akka. Their 2 kids - Smitha and Sadhana are very cute. Smitha is a 7th grader and Sadhana makes everyone at home do 7th grade :) The whole family is very loving and a warm. We had them over for dinner on Saturday (Jan 17, 2004) night and enjoyed the evening. Even our friend, Harsha joined for dinner. Let me take this occasion to wish everyone a Happy Pongal and Happy Sankranthi 2004. Please feel free to add your comments to the guestbook.

enlarge 77KB, 800x600 1 Welcome Home It all begins with kid Sadu's photo. She is kinda feeling shy as this is a new place and hence let us give her some time to get to her actual self.
enlarge 87KB, 800x600 2 Hey Sadu, look here Yet another shot at Sadu. In a short while she is going to feel hungry and start asking for food. Does she look like a silent girl who will just sit at one place and watch you? That cute little brain is cooking up something...;)

The Sakkara Pongal was prepared by Sudha and Fruit salad by me and rest of the items were prepared by Priya. the food was delicious and everyone enjoyed. Everyone's diet took a long walk today.

enlarge 72KB, 800x600 7 Harsha - @ last !!! Another shot at all of us having dinner. You can see Harsha's head though not his face. Thats as far as I could get for now.
enlarge 80KB, 800x600 8 There goes the center table We felt we should let Sadu have her freedom to run, dance and jump around just as she would have at her home, but our center table was completely obstructing her from doing so. We moved the table into our bedroom and there she goes - dancing with Priya. Now look back a few pictures when she was just a silent girl who had just entered the house. If the center table would have hanged around for a little longer she would start feeling claustrophobic. Kids need to jump and play around. Its nice !
enlarge 81KB, 800x600 9 Dance with me... Priya is giving her the steps and tune and Sadu is dancing to it with full vigor and excitement. I like this pic and the previous one very much.

Goodbye and come by and see me later.
