    Dear Chitra Madam,

    Thank you so much. Whenever we ask you something, there is always a bonus - this time the corresponding sloka to chant from soundaryalahari.. Thanks a lot. You are the best.

    Thanks,
    Gayu

    Dear Gayu,
    Thankyou for your nice words. I do this not to receive praise, but because I enjoy doing this !
    Love,
    Chithra.

    Dear Chitra Madam,

    For the "kalyana kolams" { ezhai kolams }, I know they are different between the iyer tradition and iyengar tradition. I have drawn the iyer ones, but am not aware of the iyengar ones.. Could you please give me some samples if you have them, only when you get a chance ofcourse.. If it were in Chennai,I had to just keep my eyes open when I walk on the road, but being in US, I have no chance to get to know them especially when I need them :))

    Thank you as always,
    Gayu
