I should have updated this every day .

Any way I am doing my best now.

Giri's son's upanayana went off very well.The feast was said to be quite sumptuous.Puttu had attended it .Bhamini and Samaahith also had come all the way from Manipal by bus.

Leela phoned from Muscat.They are all well there.Rama rang from Sujata's place.She related in detail about the happenings at Gavli.A ganapati pooja ,a ganahoma ,a rakshogna homa and a sudarshana homa are to be performed there before any work is started for the renovation of the deiva sthanas .

Vijaya's varicose veins thrombosed and she had to be admitted for complete bedrest and anti coagulant treatment.Sushilakka is still in Bangalore .Rama and Bavaji have gone to Chennai to attend Sanjay's housewarming ceremony.He has built a new house just behind Shankar's house.

I am now trying again to post a picture -that of Adoormane.

Sorry I am unsuccessful today also/
