    This family has a brilliant scientist also - a very intelligent young lady who loves vegetable gardening and is always looking at the positives in life, has showed us how to attain peace of mind through meditation, and is a great lover of books. My mind boggles at her varied interests in life. In addition to all these, she runs, and hikes, and has two lovely children. She is the lady whose name starts with a G.

    She is my younger niece, but I look up to her in awe of what she encompasses and represents.

    Wow! What a lovely way of introducing our beautiful family @satchitananda Mam. It's such a huge family and so widespread across time-zones that we all don't get to interact online with everyone else but we do follow and keep tabs on what everyone else is upto through this wonderful site.

    There are some whose comments we look forward to, like the aunt who is famous for her Sambar :), who inspires us with her personal stories of how she has come such a long way with grit & grace or how she tactfully handled an unexpected situation and motivates us to aspire for more OR the aunt who reminds us of yummy, ripe Yellow mangoes :) whenever we read her thoughtful insights generously shared with the younger generation.

    The poet whose poems and occasional snippets (all around mundane, daily happenings such as an experiment in the lab or questioning what else we can ask of God) transport us to an all together different space as we read them or the Doctor who drops by once in a while to share his vast knowledge of scriptures that he quotes when needed or English (a la Sashi Tharoor) that we try to figure out (and search for meanings of the all the words he used) till his next visit :)

    To balance out all the highly intellectually sharing that happens on any given day, we have the younger lot, far mature for their age, inspiring us in their own way. One of them is the most positive soul I have seen ever, who could take a major setback in her stride, it was amazing to see her bounce back within a day and get back to business as usual. There is another, just about trying to take-off on her own wings. We all know she is going to come out with flying colors and it's inspiring to see her overcome her own fears reminding us of darr ke aagey jeeth hai!

    Thank You! to each and everyone of this lovely family for sharing all your knowledge and experience, making it a memorable experience for all of us! It's a lovely rainbow whenever I come in here, with all the generations sharing generously.

    The wise Grandpa and the restless grand-daughter fly across all known inquiry from the tsampa to the folk tales of the Malinke tribe. I have been fortunate to have found a kindred conversationalist in Cheeniya who muses as much as I do on dolphins and donkeys and and why the lizard had crossed the road. I have exceedingly lucked out in life to have exchanged views with thinkers like Cheeniya who could hold forth a dialogue with riveted versatility.

    In IL,

    Sab saath saath hain!
    Even in banter and bray.
    No matter what the fray
    You say ‘gray’, I say ‘grey’
    No matter how we stray
    Still, inquire fondly each other, what say?
    In our friendly yay!

    That was a cute tribute to the IL fraternity.

    At first when I read this yesterday I thought you are describing your family. :grinning: only after reading couple of comments I realized its about this wonderful family .
    * okay I accept that I'm a tube light ha ha :mask: *
    Wonderful description.
    Now guess these
    1) She's never out of her witty,sometimes humorous,quirky and most of the times very thoughtful replies . Most are accompsnied with a YouTube video. Already branded as " Google Devi" in one of the posts. Guess this one.
    2) Always her suggestions are "out of the box ". Very detailed analysis in each and every reply. Sometimes I'm in awe of her thinking how can one see all the perspectives while writing out a reply.Almost all her suggestions deserve a "take a bow " emoji :worship2:.

    Shall come up with more in coming posts.
    For now let IL'ites guess this. :sconf:

    Wow satchi,
    That was a lovely narration of the most noted writers here in IL.....
    Guess this....
    She had posted about gifting others in IL, and voila it had created a huge positive impact and everyone was on a gifting spree..

    The lovely and lively lady who writes snippets which everyone can relate and connect with... A humble and a simple soul, who can write about sugarcane juice and also about a mom's saree turning into a quilt...
