DEAREST CHITRA We have learnt so much from you; Be it in praying, cooking or renewing our spirits, You have helped us see old things in new ways. I wonder if you are aware of the bright seeds you are sowing in me. I'm a better person for knowing you, so that everyone I interact with is touched by your good effect on me. You relax me, refresh me, renew me. Your bounteous heart envelops me in joy and love and peace. May your life be filled with dazzling blessings, just as I am blessed by being your friend. Thanks for being my friend, my life is enriched in a myriad of ways. HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR CHITRA! :2thumbsup: Hope you have a fun-filled day with your family and friends, and a wonderful year ahead! ( ps....some verses are from the internet...they expressed what i wanted to say so used them, but have added my own verses also in between!)
My Dearest Chitra, Wish you a wonderful birthday and many more happy returns of the day!!!!! Chitra I am not sure where to begin and I may repeat the same words over and over again but it is truly heartfelt.This is one poem I love and it aptly fits you. God gave a gift to the world when you were born— a person who loves, who cares, who sees a person’s need and fills it, who encourages and lifts people up, who spends energy on others rather than herself, someone who touches each life she enters, and makes a difference in the world, because ripples of kindness flow outward as each person you have touched, touches others. Your birthday deserves to be a national holiday, because you are a special treasure for all that you’ve done. May the love you have shown to others return to you, multiplied. I wish you the happiest of birthdays, and many, many more, so that others have time to appreciate you as much as I do. I think I have taken this joyride with you for the past one year and have learnt so muchfrom you right from cooking,kolams to spirituality but one thing I have sure learnt and cherished is how you handle distress with so much grace. It really takes a large heart and you sure have it Chitra. You have comforted me when I needed you the most and have also shared fun-filled jokes. Chitra my one and only prayers is to meet you very soon when I make a trip to Chennai. My family also joins me in wishing you a wonderful birthday and may you have good health and peace in the years ahead.MAY GOD BE WITH YOU AT ALL TIMES. With loads of love to you,

Re: Advance B day wishes Dear Chithra!!!! My dearest Aishu, Thankyou very much for your wishes.

Re: a visitor for chithra.... Dear Krishnaamma aka Sumathi Sundar, Thankyou very much for your wishes. I am waiting for the day when you will touch 2000 posts, which will happen shortly, at your speed ! Love, Chithra.
My dear, dear Sridhar, Thankyou for your birthday wishes, so beautifully written, as only you can do. With you wishing me on behalf of I Lites last March 19 th, my xx th year started well, ofcourse, going backwards in (only my) age. Please wait at 28, my dear friend, I will meet you at (your)28 soon. Last year was good-going for me, with an occasional hiccup, which is inevitable in life. I do hope this year will be hiccup-free, God willing. You are right, I L which was getting built slowly but steadily, saw a meteoric rise after The Hindu writeup. I am as much proud as you are, in being a contributor to this beautiful site for the benefit of global members. God has been very kind to me that whatever I collected over the years as recipes, shlokas, pujas etc, are now channelised in a way, very enjoyable to me & I hope, equally enjoyable to my co I L ites here. If at all I am here, basking in the love of my young friends, I owe it to the sideward glance of our Goddess Angayakanni. I fully believe only in Her blessings to help me through in life till my last day. Sridhar, by saying " from 25 to 85", do you expect the I L ites to calculate the average & guess my age ? You are wrong, my friend, they love me too much & will not do that unpleasant job. They accept me as I am & know that I am as young or as old, as I interact with them. You write as if I may go up to Dashavathar... ? No way !! Please rest assured, I am only too well aware of my limitations and will never over estimate myself. Being happy for me, is liking myself the way I am here right now, surrounded by plenty of love. Knowing that my best can only come from me, I accept myself just as I am ! Love, Chithra.
Dear Indhu, Thankyou very much for your sweet wishes. Please do not grope for words to write to me - your Lord & Master has said it all ! மனமார்ந்த வாழ்த்துக்களுக்கு உளம் கனிந்த நன்றி ! Lots of love, Chith.
