At last the tension came to an end….the drama was over….the suspense concluded….
Happy day indeed for all of us…. Friday..the 17th of july 2009…brought some pleasant news to our ears…as everyone of us were waiting for it desperately… 12:30:40 noon.. when Madhurya called with a sigh of relief and satisfaction to tell us that the stamping of visa…as a much awaited procedure…was over and the countdown of the few days at the end of which they will be flying to USA has just begun. As we tell know…that when right time comes…the destiny will place the right things in the right places. It was a wuch awaited one. Giri…deputed from Infosys on an official assignment to USA…will by all means be flying with family on 7th of august…where they will be staying for about a year or so…may be even more.
Many will have an ambition to fly abroad for career, money…and what not. But by all means people like Giri who are hard at their targets and don’t compromise with quality of work-garnished with sincerety passion and perfection deserve such chances to prove that they are choosen because they are the best. His dedication to the family or work or whatever is simply appreciable…and I am out of heart…a secret admirer and a fan of his.
The scheduled programme was kept delayed for one or the other reason…but the time had to come…and it did come. All the best Giri… We ll be missing you,love u too.
When Madhurya told that everything has been finalised…her sister…my wife Manasa…tried to hide her tears…I didn’t want to notice that aswell. After all they were more of friends…than sisters. My father and mother in law too would have felt the same…but those emotions are very important…because they will carry as blessings. Its not that I don’t have such feelings…after all I am sending my eldest daughter abroad…confusing isnt it! Simple..I and Madhurya share the relationship of father and daughter rather than……….!! She is a kid….and we ll be missin her. Love you baby.
Coming to their kids…neither they nor us have differentiated between our and their kids…rather we would admit that they are all our kids…the lime lights of our home. Its difficult even to miss little Rachu and Archu darling..but they are never far away…they rule our hearts.Especially Abhi…my son will be missing the kids..very much. Miss you and love you kids… take care….
Even they too will be missing us aswell….but whatever may be the feelings in the depth…we all know that there is a purpose behind everything…and we pray that their purpose, dreams, ambitions, aspirations…and everything…come true…and realistic.
May Lord Ganesha shower success fortune happiness health wealth friends…and everything on them and take care of them whereever they are….
All the best……..and…….Happy Journey
From all of us……
This is for you…..

My Birthday at “Halli-Mane….”
….seems strange isnt it!
July 12th 2009…my birthday. This time we all met at my father-in-laws home to celebrate my birthday. We all….means my wife Manasa, son Abhi, brother and sister in law – Giri and Madhurya, their kids Rachit and Archita &……of course the birthday boy…Raghu…that’s me. My father and mother in law- Ka Na Sri & Sharada Srinivas were hosting the bash. Big family…..no!.....But really missed out two more i.e my parents Seetharama Sastry and Prabha Sastry.
Early morning…as if everybody were waiting to pour their first wish on me. Family members sitting all around to hug and wish…calls and messages coming one behind the other…no spaces…call jams…waiting lists…continued till late morning. Wishes started flowing in right from the early morning….from friends…students…uff…never to end till night…more belated ones on the following days too.
We will come back to the special day. It was special in another sort because we had Giri’s family with us may be for the last time in a big get together before they flew to US in early august for a year or more. We ll be seriously missing them and they us. We all drove to a studio for a family photograph.
The next venue was HALLI MANE….dont mistake….we were not going on a trip to a villge cottage. We had planned our lunch in a wonderful restaurant…one of its kind by name Halli Mane…in 3rd cross Sampige Road,Malleshwaram – Bengaluru. Really pleasant place to have your food with a cultural touch….Only if you could book your seat and could wait for an hour or so with patience.We couldn’t have gone for a better place. Other than having good delicious food, tiffin and sweets of your choice…at the bottom floor….you could relish the feast of a tongue tickling dish on the first floor…especially if you are with your family or friends. The services and hospitality, cleanliness, environment, taste, choices….my god no compromises whatsoever with any thing. Hats off for the maintainance.
If you are at Bangalore and havent visited this place or if you are struck at Malleshwaram and would like to have good stuff for your belly or even for a visitor of Bengaluru searching for fabulous food…I would recommend Halli Mane. You will definitely like it and remember it for long.
We came back home at night.We had a nice time together and enjoyed as ever.
Bye…meet you on my next birthday….
