Lashy: I already shared my views with you. One thing, I don't know who's shivaji Maharaj and who was he. I was searching for pics and that pic seemed ok so I used it for Prince. Thanks for the Sweet words regarding my Edit, My vms, My post and me. Thankyou so much.❤️

I had actually made a target of sorts...I am targeting to to start reading HBAS after finishing with Swamiji's Pale Blue Dot.. ..Only the latest chapter is yet to be read...after that I will enter HBAS 😳 😛 ...how can I miss reading your writing 😃

My deepest apologies for being late with congratulations!

And my most heartfelt wishes to you of happiness and love!

You are a delightfully talented person and the light of your talent and your personality is a generous gift and joy for all your fans! !

Your novels are the magic of creating another reality, because your characters become a reality in our hearts and minds.

I wish you health, strengths and a little more free time for all that you want.

My dearest Lashykanna,

I have your birthday down in my book as falling on March 15, so today I started looking around for the splendiferous birthday thread which I was sure would be up and running as fast as Usain Bolt. But then I found this thread which had begun on March 14 itself.

I do not think my datum is wrong, or are you one of midnight's children, born in the witching hour, and minute and second, between March 14 and March 15? Either way, I am glad I am not a late lateef this time at least!

No I don't think so... I will double check with my mom... I think Kawsi (Kalgi) put this up first thing as soon as she woke up... 😆

I did not post earlier because I did not want my modest, colourless, undecorated message to get lost amidst the welter of the lush offerings: stories, poems, edits, and cakes the size of the bride, and a whole array of eats scrumptious enough to tempt even Lucullus!

😆

And yet Periyamma, your beautiful post has been sought after, read and liked by so many...

It was a wise precaution to take, for I myself was so transfixed by Kausi's multifarious tributes to you, Lashykanna, that I have not yet progressed beyond Page 1!😉

😆

It really was quite a sumptuous array of food! ❤️

My dearest child, all I can say to you, as I send you my love and blessings on this auspicious day, is that you are the daughter I would have wanted to have. The more I see of you (metaphorically speaking!) the more I am convinced of this. I have never seen your face, but I am sure I know you inside out, and the exterior is more or less irrelevant.

10 days back when I read this paragraph, I didn't know what to say... a few days back when I read it again, then too...and now still I'm at a loss for words... this really is the most beautiful compliment one can pay to another... and I can feel it comes straight from your heart... so... since you're not a fan of drama (or you would have seen me wiping a real tear if you were here in person)

So instead, I send this 🤗

I do not know on which day of the week you were born, but for me you are Friday's child. I have never seen you write a harsh word, no matter what the provocation, and I have rarely known anyone as non-judgemental as you can be, and as accepting, even of the most tiresome folk. I should know, for I myself am nothing like that. It is not always a good thing to be so, but even when it turns out to be a fault, it is the most generous fault imaginable.

That is so so so sweet of you to say... I wish I really can continue being like this... I am not without my own faults, Periyamma...

In reality of course... I do lose my temper with kids and the mister 😆... and do allow things to get to me🤓... sometimes things that really are very trivial (that's the baggage that comes with being an emotional person by nature)

The advantage that the internet offers is that we can step away and cool off...

But, still... I cherish what you've said about me... and I will definitely strive to be like what you've mentioned here... 🤗

You are a far better consensus builder, someone who can carry the most disparate individuals with you purely thru personal warmth, than I am, though I was trained to do precisely that all my working life.

Above all, you are one of the most affectionate and caring persons I have had the good fortune to have got to know.It comes naturally to you, and spills over and beyond your immediate loved ones - your Peshwa and the Three Terrors, the rest of your family - to so many, many others, here and undoubtedly elsewhere as well.

My Peshwa and three little terrors! I love this! 😆 Ok for this set, I am not going to be as modest☺️.. I agree... I do like spoiling my loved ones with affection... and if I can make someone's day better, nothing beats that... because I realise how lovely the returns from this investment feel

(Like how you made my day, week, month and year with this write up!) 🤗

But once again, thank you so so much for this one... 🤗

I have never forgotten your October 2013 campaign to make sure I did not stop posting on Jodha Akbar. Even the other day, when I revisited that thread, the truly amazing thing about it was the sheer range of very disparate persons you had got to sign on, including many who had no idea of my writing, but came on board only for your sake!

😲

But, you've mentioned this a few times before... I never realised how much it meant to you then... but I am glad it does...

Anytime, Periyamma

To cut things short, my Lashykanna - and about time too! - you are clearly a Very Special Person . So today, it stands to reason that you should have a Very Special Day. Enjoy it, my pet, but go easy with Kausi's cakes. I do not want you to have to spend tomorrow holding your nose and swallowing bitter kaadas!😉

😆

I shall pray for you to have a long, healthy, trouble-free existence, surrounded by those you love, in a nice, cosy cocoon of caring. May God bless you, my dearest girl, and keep you safe today and forever.

Shyamala Periyamma

Thanks a million... 🤗
