A grand get together

Hi friends.....
I know it's long time since we met. There are a lot of news...good and bad.  Will tell you one by one.
First let me inform you about a grand get together of YALAMANCHILI families. Vijayawada is hosting this event on 8th January 2012.  Those who are interested ... please log onto www.yalamanchili.org for more details.
I think one has to register online to participate. So please go ahead, participate in the event... and share your experience with all of us through our blog.

Will get back soon :-)

Ramzan fasting in Yalamanchili family!

 I know... you all might be thinking of me... but you are wrong. Though my husband is a Muslim I never observed fasting. I can make delicious Sheer kurma.. but fasting needs lots more. Since both of us are Journalists who work in round the clock shifts its difficult to observe fasting so my husband also stopped. Then who did this? Earlier Pandakka (Varalakshmi) used to observe fasting on some important days of Ramzan month. But not whole month. Recently I came to know that Yogeswara rao mamayya did this!
Once when he was in Indonesia on an official tour he observed Ramzan fasting. Indonesia is a country with majority Muslim population. While working on a project in Indonesia mamayya found all his coleagues fasting... so in order to convey his solidarity he too followed them. He enjoyed the whole process it seems. Quite interesting no?
Compatibility is in our genes... and brought up nourishes it. That's what I believe... and follow :-)
One more thing... This is Yogeswara rao mamayya's latest photo... hope I need not remind you about the family photo... mamayya as a kid was sitting pretty.
