Thottappilly Familay Welfare Association get together on 7th may 2006.

It began with Nalaman lighting the lamp, and the prayer song by Aparana, Vasumans daughter. Both ammumas where there. Then an old wedding photo was shown, guess it was Ravimans marriage photo, and a boy circled, and asked who it was. Audience wiere given 10 minutes time, It was Kodakara Anni chettan, and the winner was Amma. There was a good photo of every one of Thottappilly family, which was put there. Then from Gayathree (Gokulan chettans daughter), adhu and so on many, all children, started singing solo songs. I reached when the songs where going on..Then there was sports, potato raise and lemon and spoon for children, lemon raise and candle raise for grown ups. In potato race Sanker was first, and Krishnaindu second, so it was said, they are running with potatoes to fathers hotel….In lemon race Jayaammai was first and had price for musical race too….. Anthakshery was well organized by Ajitha……There were different rounds like 1. an alphabet was picked, and people singing, 2. Aju sang a song, and from it, others continued, 3. One word was picked and audience were asked to sing a song related to it (situation). 4. Name of an actor and actress (pair) was given, and audience were asked to sing a song, in which they are there.There were four groups, and the winner was Sujatha ammai and party. Then we had lunch. After that there was Quiz competation…four group again, conducted by Kishapens wife Remya. and the losser with minimum point was my team, winner, as usual was Sreerags team. Soon after that, Suji, Deeru, Manu and Sreerag went to Thrissur, for Pooram, it was pooram. Then there was musical chair, and finally meeting as usual. For next year, they have put me in the executive committee. After that prize distribution, it is decided that one girl and one boy, highest scorer in 10th be given prize every year. Also scholarship for deserving and needy of Rs. 750/- included Vaishak in it. Pen was given to those who did not get any price- including me J Thus most of them had prizes and gifts in their hands, some even 4-5. Though there were some sorrows, in between competitions, and some had not come, in all there was smiles, unity. Newly wedded introduced themselves, Sudhi Reshmi & Kishapens wife Remya, Kishapen is gone to South Africa. Deepuman dropped us at Potta, ammuma retuned home after long time, and Januammuma went to Kakkanad. I asked ammuma if it is enough for her staying with janu ammuma she said no...Guess it was for the first time ammumas attended this…though it was the sixth year. Pooja cash still not given by money, though most of them had got the advantage out of it, plots unsold, had been sold, houses built, marriages over, blessed with child, etc. in the last year. Also Ammumas family photo was being sold for Rs. 100/- Me created another blog, www.thottappilly.blogspot.com. Hope it would be a success too.

Thought for the day: Could see happiness in most of the faces at the end of the day, though many were reluctant to attend….Life is only traveled once…2 days moments become 2morrows memories…Enjoy every day good or bad, as the gift of life..
Remember, those who choose to be at peace, must help their others to be at peace, those who choose to live well must help their others to live well. And those who choose to be happy, must help others to find happiness, The value of a life is measured by the lives it touches…..
