Happy Birthday Uma Sep 21 2021

 Many happy returns of the day dear Uma! 

Do tell us what's special at your table today ma! 

At school always a star athlete on the field,

And on the podium a receiver of medals, ever a rich yield ! 

The athlete in you is perhaps why you are so streamlined,

with a terrific metabolism the kind I've struggled to find!

A proud mom, devoted wife and daughter,

May your home be blessed always with blissful laughter! 🙏💐🥰





Sathu's Poem: 

Sooriyan kizhakkil udhikUMA

Thendral veesUMA

Mazhai pozhiyUMA

Neer niraiyUMA

Kulir nilavu kaayUMA

Aanandha oli veesUMA

Theeraadha noigal theerUMA

Ezhai thunbam vilagUMA

Veetil selvam perugUMA

Ullathil inbam pongUMA

Makkal nilai MarUMA

Ulagil amaidhi nilavUMA


Indha kelvi edharku UMA

Undhan pirandha naal theriyUMA

Engal anbu unakku puriyUMA

Endrum un magizhchi siripUMA

Adhai iraivan unakkalikka engal vaazhthUMA!

Happy Birthday Mary 9th Sep 2021

 Mary has a little lamb, a onesie lamb, whose button eyes are cute and bright,😍

Soon enough we'll be hearing that grandma's taught her to read and write! 

So this birthday is even more special and all the more so dear,🎂

Getting to celebrate it while holding the little one warm, close and near! 

So happy birthday dear Mary, the family is settled and has started to grow,🍼

Tis time to reap and enjoy all the goodness you took the effort to sow! 😇

Always cheerful, helpful, generous, sporty,  jolly and kind,💐

Folks like you are getting harder and rarer to find! 🔍

Here's to the day when everywhere that Mary goes surely will go little Allana,

Making sure that granny dances to the tune of her Thillaana!! 😊😄💃

Happy Birthday Vasanthi - 2nd sep 2021

 Many happy returns of the day Vasanthi dear! 🥳

This is written just in case I forget your poem here,

Like I did when it was our dear Lydia's turn, 

I was at my nephew's wedding then, battling post-feast heartburn! 

You are still one of those lucky ones caught in a time warp,

Looking still like the giggly cute girl, with her wits pretty sharp! 

While stalking your photos I can declare though it's been a while,

That your eyes crinkle just the same when you smile!☺️

Have a wonderful day in that land that's free of the virus, 🐑

And don't forget to post cosy food and family pics for the benefit of poor us!! 🎂🍦🥯🍕

Happy Birthday Lydia 19th aug 2021


 Belated-by-2-weeks happy birthday wishes Lydia dear,🎂

If you were to check Vasanthi's poem, it will be to you clear,

Why I forgot to write you a poem at the right time,

The nephew's wedding was the reason for the lack of rhyme!

Now this I compose for my guilt to assuage,

Pardon my memory loss, 'tis but a sign of advancing age! 

It will be a breeze for a math  whiz like you to calculate,

That I'm starting to lose my marbles at a steady rate. 

Scrolling back a few messages I know you're about to be retired,

To become full time granny to the little cutie, a job guaranteed to make one re- tired!😄

Wishing you all the best in your joyful new vocation,💐

Just let Liana's parents know that it should come with a fully paid for vacation! 😆

Happy Birthday S Usha Aug 9 2021

 Many many happy returns of the day dear Usha, 🥳

Aha! thought I was too busy to write you this wish,ah?🎂

Self made, resilient, strong girl with a will of steel,🌹

Butter soft with cute gransdons whom you have let your heart steal! 😍

Still youthfully glowing with just  a little help from Aloe,

A plant you swear by that which the ravages of time will slow!

To the children a caring mom, at all times, just a call away,

To aging parents, the girl who brought them home to stay!

One who will do anything to nurture friendship,

Even arriving to meet up despite a painful fall and a busted lip! 

Have a wonderful day, the best you could yourself design,💐

With the choicest accessories of joy, contentment and a glass of sparkling wine!! 🍷

Happy Bday Megalai Jul 30

 Happy, happy birthday to you dear Meku! 💐

Did the morn greet you with grandson's love and cakeu?🎂

24 hours aren't enough for all that you do ma, 🕘

Master of webinar, entrepreneur,  doting wife, mom and grandma! 

Perhaps that's what keeps you trim, in top shape,🏃🏽‍♀️

While folks like me struggle not to blot out the landscape! ⛄

Veenai player, classical singer, reader, blogger, eager and enthu,

Colour coordinated, classily dressed, friendly and sincere that's you! 

Have a wonderful day with those you hold dear,

For one who is frozen in your 30s, you'll look just the same next year. 💐

Happy Birthday Rama 27th July 2021

 Many many happy returns of the day dear Rama,🎂

I'll bet the items on your table today will be gama-gamaa! 

Studious, cute, shy and mostly quiet in school days,👩‍🎓

Observing those up to mischief with an indulgent calm gaze! 

Youthful still, you dont look at all like a ma-in-law,

At least 3 years back you didn't, when I last your face, saw! 

Have a wonderful day, with family and fun,🥳

Masks firmly in place 'neath the warm Chennai sun!🌻 ☀️
