JR,

Let it spread far and wide from North to South.
Nice pics of kuudu, and thoran. Remembers my younger days when we walk around witnessing brightly lit lamps, koodu raajaya and thorans. I was the 'bhandagairka' in our neighbourhood kreeda samajaya and we used to organise dansel.
After wesak celebrations are over you get this strange feeling, no more festive atmosphere, no more thorans. Only kurulu thoran thereafter.
Obey ragee mana
Ishak Baig studied with us, he was a good cricketer. Those days he did not show any sign of being a chip off the old block. His younger brother Ilyas was the one who used to sing in the classroom. |

Are you personally known to Zaharan too? Just wondering as he said similar thing of knowing Ishak and Ilyas singing.
I think with time passed by Ishak might have realised he's got the potential than his younger brother.

That must be great. I have also had some coincidents when I met schoolmate in a UK uni at a library, that was just too amazing. The fact is we have not seen almost good as in 20 years.

JR,
That was super great but your incident is amazing too, meeting someone after 20 years in a totally unexpected place. |
