We are doing it with complete rituals, and the cost of the ceremony is roughly Rs 1.3 to Rs 1.5 lakhs (Including cow, its theeni for 1 year, vasthram, aachaar, prasaadam etc). This is to once again invite you for the same ( based on your convenience). My close friend Raman ( who is also my spiritual advisor) instructed me to inform Prema’s acquaintances ( friends / relatives), that if in case anyone wishes to contribute in any form ( cash or kind), they could always do so. We are leaving on Tuesday early morning, and will be distributing many of Prema’s sarees and a few other items as Dhaanam. But pl do feel free to hand over anything if you wish to do so. The other convenient option is to make a gpay to my no : 9886730012, and the “punya kaarya” shall be formally registered with the matam. Thanks, and have a good weekend was just telling ud1 that her new name is so powerful. it helped us get coopra back in our lives 1. coopra – thuglife is my family gp ( us 4) 2. on 13th feb 2026, niharika had an argument with her parents – “u guys care more for na2, u went to her college to take care of her when she was sick. i also have been sick two times at goa – u never came” etc etc 3. so, playfully, and agreeing to her accusation, i declared – “sure, u hv always been the unwanted daughter”. reason : any human HAS to have a progeny, so we were forced to have u as first-born. But a 2nd born is a “choice”, our wish, our desire. there is no necessity or compulsion but we do it for our happiness. hence na2 will always be our favourite child 4. hence, dear niharika – from today onwards i am re-christening u as ud – unwanted daughter. since wordpress search needs 3 letters, i further changed it to ud1 they asked 80 for cow, 12k for its year feed. plus vasthram, pooja, food (20 people), utensils, aachaar. already paid for hotel stays 3 rooms etci have 60-70 with me now. am estimating go-dhaanam expense around 1.5L max to max. will borrow 50K from braava on 16th march. am also gonna ask kaca for 50K. return will be max 30 days from time of taking ( not 20 as earlier mentioned to braava – pl note) hi pallavi – pl find ud1’s (ud1=unwanted daughter niharika) hongkong visa. 1. hope u will take printout of this, alongwith the others 2. ud1 – ur secret qn is “first pet” and answer is “snowy” 4. since ur flight reaches in morning and u checkin in afternoon, i suggest u keep ur luggage in cloack, and finish po-lin ( ud1 can guide u) 5. u can get the octopus card for each of u at airport itself. it is most useful for each and everything 6. any other tips – ud1 is anyway traveling with u guys ! hv a good trip guys But i forgot to mention that my food binging has not stopped. my cauvery trip plus my wedding trip – two days of full excessive meals – since i am unable to control once i see the food in the menu trust u are doing ok venkat. also, was browsing thru old posts and recalled u had sciatica issue. hope that is also taken care of ? take care, catch up with u soonguys – pl note – i have made the flight bookings for blr-dehra-blr on 20th aug 2026 thu – we have a 3.10 pm flight from blr to dehradun 21st aug early morning – our Valley Of Flowers(VOF) trek starts with indiahikes 26th aug evening – we return to dehra 27th aug thu evening – we have a 650pm flight back to blr ——– for last three hours was doing all permutation to get best ticket price adanione, amazonpay, mmt, ixigo, goibibo, cleartrip – each of them gave different price – infact app price was diff, browser price was different tried all combinations for hdfc credit card coupon ( sadly, only 1-2 were available across these sites) final price ( at last step since convenience fees and some bull gets added at the very end) – got between 61168(apay) to 63500 (mmt). also, if u try at two different times, ie 12 noon vs 1pm, dynamic price further changes the price finally realised goindigo price was best at 60048 final then finally realised if u click goindigo thru skyscanner login, u get best rate – So finally got for 59208 ( Rs 7.4k per leg per person). (if we cancel na2 ticket, we will lose about 3k per leg, ie 6k. its better than adding 4.6k now itself and getting fully cancellable fare) ——– rajani – as informed to u on phone, i have used ur hdfc credit card to make this paymentsundar – though we have such a wonderful healthy and non-contemptuous regard for each other, i just want to make sure of the 50K since i am dependent on it. ur loan wud be independent of all our mutual regard, so pl treat it that waysent 5 snaps already. am sending about 200 more. each snap has lot of description and details which cud cover entire wedding. pl click on the photo be be able to read the details in full back in blr, from the wedding. was done full maadhwa style. will send lots of photos and details today. — coopra raaman – had personally invited u for saturday evening reception, on behalf of venu maama. quite disappointed that u did not make it inspite of being in chennai, though u were asking me for tidbits about the “murai”, casteist process of conducting etc, from time to time
