9 over 90 awards

I wrote this award nominations last year... nothing much has happened this year that would change the award nominations altogether.

Apart from one more of Dhanya's entrepreneurial ideas coming into life. Varsha's volte face in choing MBBS as her life's calling, Kaks shift of fortunes to his current confused state , Sathish big marriage chaos, Arun and Ravi's packing bags to go abroad.

Soumya as usual is still comfy in her cast away role, makes no effort to reach out, Raja Anna complaining abt the recurring deposits and house hold expenses. Pranith, well well nobody knows whats up with him or his parents !! Last heard they were in some forests of florida :). Srishti has been the center of gravity for this 9 over 90 for this year and she will continue to keep that locus for some more years !!

No breaking news, no sensations, no adventures... what a lousy year it was...
Dhanya & Ravi... I am calling (Challenging) you out to be the Master of ceremonies for this years awards... If all the claims of youthful thinking is even partially true then lay it out in the open !!

I am coming home and dying to see some of you .... I am looking forward to

1)speak a lot of tamil
2)drive the two wheeler,
3)have my mom's world class tea
4) Play with and talk to dearest kikee
5) Gossip with my aunts
6) Eat Bhabi's Pani poori
7) Get scoldings from dad

and then I know it will be time to leave for HK :)

Love you all
Arun/ Jillu

Hi Guys

I am planning to Instate the 9 over 90 Awards series.
These are truly interesting times for 9 over 90. Most of us are out of those dreary school days and the lovely college days, the eldest in the group is above 30 !! Most of us are in the bread winners group and some are on the cusp of it. Its time to recognize the man of the innings . Without any preamble lets jump right into it

The Best Bahu Award : This is an easy one, and I believe there is absolute unanimity in this. As the first Bahu, this lady made a cracker of a start. Raja after Marriage is totally anew from Raja before Marriage. She cements the fact that there is a woman behind a successful man. She swarmed all the biggies that matter in this house. She is the reference material for all new bride hunt !! Finally she is the mother of the cutest baby in this universe. JAYANTHEE deserves all these acclaim every bit... There will be many other bahus entering this household in days to come but no body can come even an inch close.... Bhabi you are the best. Many of us look up to you. we truly love you !!!

Be a Rebel Award : This one is slisha controversy but nevertheless true. In a Brahmin house hold like ours not many of us tend to get rebellious but this women does !! From making Atheist(Read Anti Brahminical) remarks to playing cricket with boys in early days to calling a spade a spade to going for a post doc when she had shinning cash offers in hand to looking for a boy herself outside the community she has done it all. A Rebel at Heart and a rebel in Deed.... DHANYA PARAMESHWARAN walks away with this award. All of us love you for your rebellious spirit. You show us hope to Rebel :). While we all love you for all of your rebellious stance and more , I also want to use this forum to berate you for any atheist remarks that you may have made. The coming year is going to be interesting for you and for all of us. It will be nice to see how you measure up to the Granny's. We will have fun watching U. Until then the rumor mills can work over night. Dhanya, All of us look up to you. You just BE A REBEL!!

Every Mommas boy Award : Every mom will dream to have a boy like this. Truly a mommas kid. Not one step wrong so far. From great marks in School days to doing the Sandhyavandhanam, Madhayanam promptly, to getting a fine college admit and bagging a great job he has been a nice boy all the time. Not one step wrong. When he was in Srirangam he played to the gallery there with his regular prayers. Kept his parents happy with his brilliant scores. Kept his friends in good stead with his fine sense of humor, Kept his cousins happy with timely help, Earned laurels at work and kept the bosses happy. Not one step wrong. Ravi Shankar B - you are truly every Mommas pride. All of us would have wanted to be like you at some stage.
I don't remember one blemish in your scorecard till date. However 9 over 90 unanimously feels that there is something abt you that you are hiding from all of us :). No Secrets in 9 over 90 please.

Best Debutante and Mr Popular : Easy one again. A Quick poll of 9 over 90 members will tell you that if there is a help anybody needs then there is only one guy they can go to. Parents Association know him as Dependable Kid, Some of them call him the most responsible kid. Boys of 9 over 90 often bash him for making us look bad :). Karthyk Anantha Krishnan deserves every inch of the Mr Popular Status. He is also anointed with Best Debutante award for bagging a nice job before completion of his BE. When he started his innings in BE,It was quiet a Shaky Start but just like his Idol Sourav, recovered Quickly to come out clean. A lot of us are going to bet on him for his indomitable spirit in life. He is truly a go getter. In years to come he is the horse that you should be betting on. He is the Stock that you should be buying in bulk. All the very best to you Karthyk.


Young Achiever Award :
Easy one, How many of us have had there Hoardings in mount road at age 15 ? How many of us have performed in the stage at age 12 ? How many of us make an appearance in TV with Such fine Elan that it looks like were born for it ? How many of us have CDs and cassettes released ? How many of us have received Zillions of awards from performing arts gurus. Varsha you are truly the 1 among the 9. Varsha only advise - Come out of Neyveli and live a life.

Style Bhai and Dark Horse Award :
Literally and thematically he is the dark horse :) The guy in Dubai is the Bride groom in Waiting. Lives life king Size . Owns a Chevrolet, naya Ghar, Soon a Nayi Biwi ... Badiya Hain . Satish Congratulations on your marriage.


Walk the Talk Award : This one goes to a Non Member. As a couple they have always walked the Talk. They Only Preach what they practice. Adorable couple. All of us look up to them. A lot of us want to be them. I seem to fail to capture the exact words to anoint them. There are a few things that's best left unsaid. Leave it to the readers imagination.
Nattu Mama and janaki Manni walk away with the Walk the talk Award. You are really an Awesome couple. All of us love you from the bottom of our heart !

Dhanya has bowled a googly at them, lets see how they face this ball. We are watching every step you take nattu mama and we will quote you as precedence. Good luck to you. :)

We are winding up this ceremony with a quick prelude.

Last Year - The come Back kid award must have gone to Raja Anna. For a cracker of a comeback. He Started the race 500 m behind the start line and is now 1000 m ahead of all of us!

Soumya is almost Qualified for a Udaan Award - I don't know how many of you have seen the serial but its a story of a women who fights it out to achieve her dream. Soumya has, From the days i can remember , I have only heard her talking abt being a doctor. And fiught yea she did, I remember her crying coming out of the exam hall every time. She truly made it look like a fight :)
Soumya also should get the Miss 9 over 90 Award - She is the prettiest one in the group without a doubt. All of this will have to wait for her to graduate from college.

Pranith belongs to the Srishti Gang and will need form his own club there :) But all of us have no doubt that he is going to be a Casanova...
