The Paati that had a good collection of tennis balls, thanks to us :)<br /><br />Ravishanker - thank you very much for your continued encouragement. I am glad that you liked the piece. I intended it to be a light read but the last two paras kind of wrote themselves, if you know what I mean. :)Ram Muralihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15932557588480669430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-332491328939495514.post-31961359625068452752018-07-05T09:49:07.126-07:002018-07-05T09:49:07.126-07:00Ram : Despite the heavy subject matter I found thi...Ram : Despite the heavy subject matter I found this a really breezy read. Where writing about family and extended family is concerned you really stand alone !<br /><br />And I loved the humour in this piece i.e the interactions (altercations ?) between you and Solai. I started giggling in office despite the fiscal year end audit.<br /><br />This is up there among your best !<br /><br /> Zolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09347849134451149946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-332491328939495514.post-43391434480532257662018-07-04T23:28:20.559-07:002018-07-04T23:28:20.559-07:00Simply superb da!

Reading this I could remember my childhood days in Shanti nivas, we had a guy named selvam (servant maid's son)....not sure if u remember. Dhyaksha and I used to go for movies with him, watch cricket on TV together and do lot more things. Memorable days, making me feel like going back to 80s & 90s. Life has become so monotonous and complicated now!!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13100301702616876533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-332491328939495514.post-85930234067200725032018-07-04T14:38:46.350-07:002018-07-04T14:38:46.350-07:00Lakshmi Aunty / Radhika Aunty / Viveka / Anu : tha...Lakshmi Aunty / Radhika Aunty / Viveka / Anu : thank you so much for your kind words.<br />Anu, Sant Ram acknowledges and will act upon your advice. :) :)Ram Muralihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15932557588480669430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-332491328939495514.post-27301033799543527482018-07-04T09:03:06.451-07:002018-07-04T09:03:06.451-07:00Ram, piece of advice - please continue to write ab...Ram, piece of advice - please continue to write about your family and friends.

I have a picture of Solai in my mind - that is the impact of good writing and I hope you publish your writings some day.
