A confession and a secret revealed

BharadwajThiru · Aug 18, 2013

I have been following IL for several years, long before I became a member. This was the forum that I got introduced to from my mother! My sister joined next and it provided me a great place to go to understand deeper thoughts that we hardly get the time to discuss being miles away and each busy with our own lives.

When I did make the plunge to contribute, I chose to use a different user name so I could build my own identity before revealing who I was! Even my mother was unaware of it until this morning. Coincidentally, perhaps a sixth sense, drew her to be one of the first people to welcome me to the IL community.

I take this opportunity to say that I am really proud of the septuagenarian who has contributed so many articles and has become the beloved of so many. It is non other than Mrs. Pushpavalli Srinivasan.

That is nice to know. We are quite fond of PS mam (as fondly called by some of us) you know! Now you did not reveal who your sister is? Is that the next secret?

Dear BT,

I follow suit (set by Cheeniya sir!)! Nice to know you are not new to our forum and our favorite member is your favorite mother!! Well, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree, you prove it once again! Didn't take long for you to become the winner of FP narration!!

Waiting to read more of your inputs, all the best!

Hi BT,

Nice to know you. Had the pleasure of meeting your mom in person when she was visiting Bangalore the previous time.

Looking forward to reading more from you.

Thank you all for your kind words. It is an honor to be able to share my thoughts and get so much FB from all of you. I certainly hope to continue writing even if the posts are few and far between!

Dear BharadwajThiru,

I had the pleasure of reading many posts and blogs written by your mom. Her enthusiasm is contagious. She is a wonderful writer and I admire her. I missed meeting her this time when I visited Chennai but will not miss it again when I visit Chennai next.
