26-27th May 2007, Sunday ...
Its hot, hot, hot in Mumbai! And the ultimate family get-together is happening at few thousands of kilometres away from home. I call it ultimate because the attendance is well over 90%! Four prominent people were missing though ... the Swamis and Soumi.
And we were all there to swet it out! What I mean is, we were all there to give a warm (frying hot is a more accurate description) welcome our new bride Swetha. 9over90 in its usual dynamic self, came up with a flurry of ideas to accomplish the same (although, its a separate matter that none of them worked). Satish and Swetha went through the complete array of ceremonies, which I probably will discuss more in detail after the 'next family wedding'. One of the highlights being the 'ladoo-chucking' done by the MAMIS after 'oonjaal' to identify the next bride-groom, repeatedly fell on Mr SP!
Another incident which kept the spirit of the wedding soaring high, was the reson-ating high pitch, low frequency rhythms from our very own Jillu. I just wish Ravi or Karthik share this piece with us. Also, another entertaining theme was the sportive(i hope) competition between these three for the hot-seat of the next bride-groom. Open for betting.
Also, some oldies got 'lucky' over the weekend too. Ravi, please upload pics for reference.
Overall, we spent a hot, fun filled weekend at Chembur Temple, Mumbai.
ON YOUR MARK, GET SET, ....GONE
SEVEN MORE TO GO!

Opening blog
Let me have the honor of kick starting the blog.
This is another one of those many attempts that we have made to kind of tie up the disparaged unit of 9 over 90 together!! Its often an envy for a lot of outsiders (Read elders of 9 over 90) to see us a cohesive unit. I hope this forum serves the purpose of keeping all of us together and be updated with whats happening in each of our lives.
These are Interesting times for all of us. Don't know of any other family that will get this global in the coming year (And I hope to say - so global and yet so local). I urge each of you to use this blog to share your thoughts, important moments, fotos et al. Who knows when Raja Anna celebrates his golden jubilee of marriage or during Pranith's wedding, we could make a nice collage of all of us and share it with our kiddos. Feel free to narrate all my goof ups - petrol gulps to disastrous driving and singing skills :)
Quick sum up on my state of mind... Leaving to HK for my MBA.... Hell a lot excited, A lil Skeptical, lil Anxious and a pinch scared of the looming uncertainty. What I am sure about is, My Stint at HK could be anything but boring, and that's a positive note.
Signing of the first post with my favorite poem from Munna Bhai
Kitne sapne dekhe, dil main hi mar gaye
Chadne ke pehle hi parvat se dar gaye.
Ab tho chadenge, girenge, dekhenge
Kya hai parvato ke paar.
