Mumbai - Kaleidoscope of Relatives

28th thru 30th Jan, was a hugely eventful , tiring and an interactive experience.

Why ? What happened !! .... Well i had been to Mumbai after a gap of 5 years and was met by a plethora of relatives.
The main reason was Umesh's marraige (look at the post below) , but apart from this Amma, had come along and it was a time for networking with all the relatives , it had been a while.

Day 1 :
Myself and Ravi (bro.) flew in together to the mumbai airport. There we waited for an hour before amma and patti (we call her perrima) came along from chennai. As we stepped outside we met Radha Perrima and Ganesh (Umesh's brother , who had come all the way from london). After this closely nit gang met, we split into 2 groups , 2 taxis, and went to chembur to char ammai's home. Here Santosh (younger one) had come from his Naval classes and was asleep , we also met Geetha chitti and Ramdas. Laxmi (ramdas's wife) had cooked food for us. Rasam and keeria molakutal , was a nice change of food for me. Indira Mami from Bangalore was already present there. After all the chating we headed for Deepam, with ganesh.

At deepam we met up with Tangumani (the grooms mom) and kanna na (appa there). Also present was umeshs cousin from Chennai , Annupama, with her parents. Were chatting away. Here Umesh who was out for a friends marriage was back and we met him. Later in the day Sindhu (ganesh's wife) and Sxxxxxxxx (his daughter) came back from her chittis house and we were a full house here too.

That evening after 11 PM a small gang went to the kalyana mandapam and took care of the cleaning, kolam and other mandapam related arrangements; as it was being cleared by another party. Returned around midnight. Talked away listned to perspectives etc.. In the night spent some time on the computer sending mails and also trying to speed up the computer...
