Rohan's wedding & other happenings

Dear all,

Saturday 1st September Sonu & Ameya left for DC. Baba was very emotional while bidding farewell to them, he got used to Ameya calling him "Kukulu" all the time. Now we are back to the empty house and our daily routines.

just now I said bye to Pappu, Natasha & Tanya as they were leaving for Mumbai to catch midnight flight to London and then Air Canada to Toronto.

Chandu is leaving tonight for NY for 2 months.I have a feeling members of our families travel a bit too much. All the time some one is coming or going some place.
Tinu will be leaving on 7th with Siddu for Wellington.

Rohan's Wedding was typical traditional Andhra wedding.Nanimama hosted a pre wedding reception cum party on 28th which was very nice. Lots of food, drinks and a good DJ.Natasha & Tanya danced to "barso re megha & Apalam chaplam" songs and they did a very very good job of it. They were learning and practicing it for over a month in Pune.
We have started renovation of ground floor at 236 sind Colony. It will take about 2 months. I am changing tiles in the living room and guest bedroom. Re doing the guest bedroom & bathroom completely.
Sunil is getting married on 22nd November in Mangalgiri near Vijaywada, so we will be off for couple of days in November.

In December Pondy uncle, Laxmi aunty, pappumama & Chandu mavshi are coming for a golfing vacation to Pune for a week around Chandu's birthday.

The highlight of this year is we are having Poona Club woman's open golf tournament in Pune from 16th to 19th December. All top Amature woman golfers will be coming for this tournament. We are expecting about 75 participants. I am in charge of catering for all 4 days breakfast, lunch, and final day dinner. We are planning this big event much in advance so that it can be a grand success.
We have collected 200,000/-rs and trying for more.
