Ramakriya - glad it went off well. Did any forumite make it? Am I right in assuming that you and your wife are at the left end of the first pic in this link (http://goo.gl/Uf9bD)?

Thank you. It is nice to see the pictures.

For non-Kannada readers... there is a popup. with a big yellow button. I didn't want to click it not knowing what it would do...

[vs_manjunath]

[ramakriya]

@rshankar: Yes, you are right.

@nick: That's a harmless popup - that lets you post an article

@vs_manjunath: Oh, I did not realize you were there. I could not speak to many of the people. Missed an opportunity to talk to you.

thanks, ramakriya. Luckily it did not obscure the photos, and not even my wife is any help with Kannada or Telugu script.
