Dear ilities, As per your wishes I am back from India safe and sound, with my children on Aug.15th. To be true, I have energised myself more than before after meeting with other ilities in the Chennai meet. What a wonderful meet with all other ilities in their 'true form'--I mean, real people behind the screen names. Energetic-Chitvish, Friendly-Varloo, Malathy Jagan, Pushpavalli Srinivasan, Kripa Shankari and Laxmi, Young-looking-Latha Sasi, Truly young--Ramya, Relatively calm Mrs.Cheeniya. With all these people around won't you feel energetic! Sriniketan

Dear Bhargavi, Meeting you & children was really a pleasure. You are so quiet in person, but not so in the forum, thankfully ! Your daughters are two of the sweetest teenagers, I have met. They are more Indian than American citizens ! Let us interact in full swing !:tongue Love, Chithra.
Dear Bhargavi, Good that you reached safely.It was nice to meet you and the sweet children at Chitvish's.I wish them all the best for the new academic year!And as Chitvish says they are more Indian than American.Its really wonderful the way that you have brought them up and i am sure they will grow into fine ladies and do your family proud!

Sorry for this late reply. thank you, Sindhuja, Sreelatha, Mrs. Pushpavalli, Madhu, Mrs. Chitvish and Latha for welcoming me back to this site. Compliments, about my children being brought up, mainly goes to my husband, who is deeply rooted in our culture and of course, my children get their due share because of their interest in our culture. I conveyed your wishes to them for which they are always thankful. On a lighter note, if they are brought up in Chennai maybe they would be like American citizens? sriniketan
Welcome back Sri, Iam a pretty new lLITE, I've seen the meeting pictures. All of you are excellent. I really liked your children. I couldn't believe that they are from U.S , they look very simple and more Indian. I agree with chitvish on this. How is that possible Sri? To bring up children in foreign nation with our Indian culture. Please share with us more about it. It would be a good tip for many of our Ilites outside our country.
