    Sudha, my dear Sudha !

    Thankyou for the feed back.
    If you really want the jala deepams, please send your Bangalore address by P M - I can courrier them, not a problem at all.
    You gave me such a short notice & came, but I cannot tell you how happy I am to have met you & spent time with you !
    You are such a live wire, Sudha, God bless you.
    Love & regards,
    Chithra.

    Thanks Chitra, for the offer, but i am leaving from here day after, and i dont think it will be easy! Will ask Maduraikarar , when he visits Chennai next , to pick them up!
    I have no words to thank your hospitality on saturday....like i had told u that day, i wished we had more time! But there is always a next time.....and like ur parting words, ALL GOOD THINGS HAVE TO COME TO AN END!

    Hi Sudha,

    I envy you and your trip in Bangalore and Chennai. But for your info, I bought the silver floating lamps in Bangalore. You get them in any jewellery shop. I bought mine in Jayanagar. The details are as follows:

    Aabhushan,
    185/7, 8th main
    Jayanagar 3rd Block ( Near Utsav restaurant)
    bangalore.

    Their phone number is: 26532622

    Well hope you are able to get some before you leave.

    Love
    vandhana

    Lets spread the light of compassion all around us.....

    Really well researched article. I esp. liked the bit about lighting another deepam is like sharing knowledge with others, wish all of us would incorporate acts of sharing knowledge and kindness with others around us. Increasingly due to paucity of time and energy, we spend our lives absorbed in our homes, careers, children and spouses, there is hardly any scope to look beyond our circle of friends, relatives etc. Lets try to reach out to some underprevilidged souls and lets help them light up their lives.

    Regards,
    Sunita
