The events

The reunion gave us an occasion to get to know each other better (at least those of us who have married into the family), a platform for our lil ones to express their talents and a chance for the yesteryears' champions to behave like kids once again (or relive the way they lived and played together in the family house once upon a time). Camera shutters worked non-stop to capture the moments, and here are some from ours (beginning from No. 8 in the centre):

8. Ash sings a song he learnt in school Saturday afternoon.

7. Our guest of honour, a priest, speaks about family and family values. A highly motivating sermon for many of us over the hill (in age as well as marital life). He quotes widely from English literature but right now I can remember only Ibsen's The Doll's House.

6. Tug of war, men's round - Vimal in action.

5. Seven stones, the first game.

4. The youngest member of the family (2 months) felicitates the oldest.

3. Hair decoration with straw. V wins a prize for planting the maximum number of straws in my hair.

2. Getting ready for the group photo session Sunday morning, after church.

1. Sisters Mira and Minu explore the premises of the family house.

p.s. I happened to be the judge for the storywriting competition for youngsters and for the loveletter writing competition for adults!
