When most of the "rasikas" have completed or approaching the silver or golden wedding anniversaries, it is no nice and refreshing to know that the brain behind this wonderful site is just a young lad(

) who is about to be married. Our heartiest aasirvaadams to the couple.

Wish you a happy married life. Nice to note that your better half is from my native place Trichy!

cmlover · Post by **cmlover** » 15 Nov 2010, 20:27

Folks
We have stopped posting personal photos at the Forum for fear of privacy violations and unscrupulous usage. Unfortunately there are still bad elements who want to scuttle this Forum as well as malign some of us though we are eternally vigilant and thanks to you all for your support and cooperation in alerting us at the first sign of trouble.

Do attend the wedding/reception in person on this joyous occasion and enjoy firsthand along with your expressions of gratitude to srkris for this signal service to our CM community. For the rest of you I will explore the possibility, if srkris agrees, of sending the links for the wedding pictures through personal emails....

Thimma's suggestion to hold the Rasika's meet on the reception day to honour srkris and his newly-wed spouse is excellent and worth exploring....

I always imagined him as an elder. Then, one day, Arasi was telling me how much she respects the young man and his energy

Pratyaksham Bala · Post by **Pratyaksham Bala** » 15 Nov 2010, 22:26

Two months back (in the first week of September) I had searched for 'srkris ramakrishnan suryanarayanan madras' and came to know of the important date 11th November 1980!
Address, of course, was available through another link provided by someone (x) in a rasika post a few months back.

Shri Narayanan,
Thanks.

A lot of information is available in the 172300+ posts.
But casual discussions also provide interesting information, like VVS>Radhika>Shreya's marriage at Mumbai is also on the same day (12th Dec 2010).

Dear Sri Ramakrishnan,

Best wishes for a very happy married life.
I will attend your marriage reception on 15.12.2010 at Chennai.

As suggested by Coolji, there will be an informal meeting of Rasikas
during the reception.

You mistook him for a 'young at heart' oldster here! You are not alone in this. Actually, he's one of the 'old (wise?) at heart' youngsters among us!

Nick H · Post by **Nick H** » 16 Nov 2010, 10:00

True, Arasi --- just as I made the absolute opposite mistake with CML! :$

As suggested by Coolji, there will be an informal meeting of Rasikas

We will probably be able to find each other attending to the music performance

GBL
While we can meet at this reception , You can always let me know when you feel like meeting . I keep passing your garden city and can always make time to be tickled by you in person

Guys . Those of you who have not met GBL must do so . The concerts will keep going on . RKS or otherwise . But please dont miss opportunities to meet such people like GBL and others .

cmlover · Post by **cmlover** » 16 Nov 2010, 17:18

I wish I could be there too to meet with all of you fine folks.
But then I'll be tackling a serious medical problem just before the wedding.
I'll certainly pull through, if not my spiritual quest would not have been wasted

By all means make this a memorable occasion for srkris who has brought the sunshine
( pavithrajyothi) into many of our lives. We can never adequately thank him for the
vison with which he has lighted this jyothi which will shine bright for ages to come!

I am not going to miss this kalyaana saappadu for sure... I bet there would be lots of rasam and karika there! And we can sit and discuss vedanta with srkris... (well, on second thoughts, srkris will have more important things on his mind...

)

All the best wishes to srkris and pavithra on this very auspicious event. May all the ragas, talas, bhavas and the great vaggeyakaras bless them for a wonderful music-filled life journey together.
