Broken Records

Dear all,


News of Krishna being recognised for his efforts at Crawfor Bayley is the best news I have recieved in many years.  To be made a partner at the young age of 27 is a unique achievement.  Equally  great are the achievements of all my other grand-children.  Arjun is distinguishing himself at Ford, Lakshmi and Radhika are going to be lawyers in Europe, Vaidhy is joining Princeton, Indu is graduating soon , and Meera and Saranya are already displaying talents of a very high order.  What  more can Amma and me ask  for in this life.  Personally for me, all my imagined and real ambitions are fructifying through my children and grand-children.  I recall my brother Sahasranaman telling me on more than one occasion that, I should send my children to study in England.  Somehow that could not be, but I now see myself going these places in the form of my grand-children.  Can you visualise my sense of achievement and pride.  In the Josier family the upper age limit has been 81 years.  I am glad I have broken the record.

If possibe, I would also like to see Saranya and Meera going to the best Universities of the world and realise their potential. 

Love,

Appa
