A Quick Update to the Weekly Update

Piyu works with naukri.com (i'd forgotten - i can only plead temporary senility, sorry). to make every one smile.. specially those who haven't seen this before, here goes:

'tenjewberrymuds'




To get the full effect, this should be read aloud.


You will understand what 'tenjewberrymuds' means by the end of the conversation.

This has been nominated for the best email of 2005.

The following is a telephone exchange between a hotel guest and room-service, at a hotel in Asia, which was recorded and published in the Far East Economic Review:



Room Service (RS): "Morrin. Roon sirbees."

Guest (G): "Sorry, I thought I dialed room-service."

Hi guys,
Great to c all my cousins & Mami writing in.Jeet- which city are u in currently? And i dont see Shashank's contribution?Dont tell me he's studying!

And please everyone- Come down to Chennai to meet Jhilmil(Manya). She's the cutest baby in the whole world!

Week's update

lovely snaps of manya - thanks piyu. i hope other family members are atleast looking at the site often, even if not writing in. Just realised this would be a good time to find out who's doing what - like a real anpadh, i do not know the names of the organisations where piyu and ramya work. preeti is with fox and mandal, i know, jeet is with microsoft, kartick with cognizant, abhishek with daksh, archie and girish with eserve, vineet with mckinsey, krishna with broadcomm, shashank in college and kanishk, akshaya and ananya still in school. that's it for today. only big thing coming up in feb - ravi uncle and i finish 22 years of married life on feb 6. this's for any of you kids who may forget to wish us (ha ha)

hii everybody..
I have uploaded manya's 2 very cute snaps...wonder when i would be able to c her..she looks very chweeeeettt in these..
where is the rest of the family..
I see very less contribution coming in from the rest...
Love u all and miss u too

Please upload photos

To upload photos, and we desperately need contributions from all sides else i'll keep on uploading photos of myself (ha ha), go to the link 'Our family photos' and upload photos thru yahoo. User id is 'ourkutumbam'. I'm emailing the password to all of you. Happy uploading.

For all you ignoramuses..

For all you ignoramuses - 'Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam' means the 'Earth is a family'. This is just far-sightedness on my part, preparing for whichever part of the world all you kids in the next generation find spouses in. Ha Ha Ha!

Am creating a family site where all of us can add photos, ok? will keep all of you updated on the progress with it.

"Hello Everyone"

Good to see so many contributions flowing in....haha....Can someone please tell me what is the meaning of "Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam"?......how does one load videos onto this site.....i have one of sandhya aunty freaking out at the Chocolate Fountain-this is a must see.
Chow.

Where's the rest of the family?

Hello everybody! It would be nice to hear from some one out there. Could one of you give us some links to see manya's snaps online please??

From Piyu..

hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii....
thanks aunty...
tell me is there a way by which one can post photographs as well???
love u all..
