It is with the greatest joy that we
are extending our very best wishes to you on a momentous day in your life, viz
your 60th birthday.
Howie & No 2.
Dearest Mithu,
Howie remembers vividly the day you
came into this world on 27 Apr 1956 in the little town of Kangar - Ma's agony
with her labour pain, the midwife's home visit and then the arrival of the
cutest little baby with distinct dimples on both cheeks. He was in the Penang
hostel at that time and as he had to go back there soon, he held you, stood in
a corner & cried.
Then as you grew up, you were a
naughty little child.Who can forget you rubbing yourself with chilli powder in
1958 in Penang, then screaming, as well as mixing large amounts of dhal with
rice which meant we had to eat khichuri for the next 10 days.Then in Kolkata in
1961, you, together with Raja, bathed the thakur statues in the toilet
bowl!!And what about your words such as "whool" (which meant "fool")?
And No 2's remembrance of you since
1973 - a straightforward person who called a spade a spade but who had a
very soft heart, and someone who took to No 2 from the outset.
Alas, all are memories but written
indelibly in our minds.
Our greatest wish is for you to be
happy always,and continue to show your dimpled smile .
With warmest love.

‘You keep your past by having
sisters. As you get older, they’re the only ones who don’t get bored if you
talk about your memories’ -

Mithu,
As you celebrate the your Big Six, I
hope you won’t get bored if I took a walk down memory lane and shared a few
reflections………
- On 27 April 1956, a baby sister arrived to light up our lives in the northern
Malaysian town of Kangar, Perlis where Baba was the only doctor in the hospital.
- The little girl had big eyes, dimples
on both cheeks and as she grew up, she often wore a china doll fringe on her
forehead.
- She became a very dushtu (naughty)
little thing.
- One day she decided that the chilli
powder that Ma had bought for cooking curries would make a nice moisturizer and
rubbed herself all over with it……Ouch!!
- On another occasion, the same dushtu,
in secret collaboration with her Kolkata cousins decided to give the Thakurs
(deities) from the puja altar a bath. And
where should the dear Gods bathe? In the toilet bowl, of course!.....Eeeeks!!
- The privileged one, being the youngest
in the family was the only one among the siblings to enjoy real birthday
parties with new dresses lovingly tailored by Ma who also baked yummy birthday
cakes with beautiful icing for all the guests. How we enjoyed those birthday
parties with lots of food, fun and games.
- Despite our six year age difference,
Ma used to painstakingly sew identical frocks for us which we proudly wore on
our various outings.
- I recall those long distance drives
from one Malaysian town to another in Baba’s Holden station wagon. ( Yes
Holden, an Ozzie car!) As both of us were prone to travel sickness, the back
seat would be reclined so that we could stretch out horizontally and have good
sleep during the journey. That
kept the travel sickness at bay.
- When Baba and Ma went on a six month
world tour, we were left in the care of Chotokakima and Howie the Great who had
a scooter. Our parents came
back with lots of gifts for us…….. I remember a talking doll which could utter
eleven sentences including ‘I am Little Poppet’ when you pulled a string
attached to her back. She
was a lovely blonde from London. And from the Big Apple came the three feet
tall beauty dressed in a bridal outfit….. can’t remember her name now.
- Our beloved terrier Brownie
often enjoyed a treat from the little dushtu. When she did not want to eat the
egg during breakfast, she quietly offered it to the pooch when Ma was not
looking. How Brownie loved those treats!
- I can’t for the life of me recall why
we gave ourselves funny names like Howie, Khedi and Putti……. only the name
Howie remains to this day.
- All too soon, the little girl became a
teenager and decided to leave her Southeast Asian home to pursue her studies
Down Under. There, she not
only got her university degree, but graduated to attain the status of MRS.
- As the man of her dreams was a Sydney
resident from India, off we went to witness a Telugu wedding in Chennai
complete with yellow saris, ornate jewelry and lots of jasmine flowers on the
hair.
- Her wifely duties included learning South Indian cooking and she does it so well that I am not
exaggerating when I say that she makes the best sambar, rasam and dosas in the
world……… yum,yum!
- As an adult our little dushtu had an
eye for the good things in
life…….. while the rest of the siblings are chin-chai pochai ( not particular)
about what we buy, she will get only the quality stuff ranging from ceramics, to paintings to
wall hangings and
handbags………..
I could ramble on and on, but must
wind up here……. Mithu, I wish you a fabulous 60th birthday and many, many happy years ahead! I will leave
you with a poem by Christina Rossetti who once wrote:
For there
is no friend like a sister
In calm or
stormy weather
To cheer
one on the tedious way
To fetch
one if one goes astray
To lift one
if one totters down
To
strengthen whilst one stands!
Cheers!

Happy 60th birthday and may there be many more
I’m wishing you all the best life has in store
To my wonderful aunt who has always been so dear
Happy 60th birthday and may there be many more
I’m wishing you all the best life has in store
(Ok
I stole of that from Google but it was most apt and I do mean it !!!!!!)
Here are the top ten things
I love about you:
1)
Firstly and most importantly You really do care
and have been there for me through good times and bad and for the love and
affection you show me when I come home to Telopea and making the “green room”
so welcoming!
Our love for:
2)
The
Royals, yes Kate Middleton we love what you wore in India!
3)
Shopping although
I do sense that you think I am rather conservative in my style!
4)
Girlie magazines yup hate to admit it, we can
name all the Kardashians…. Dare I admit it in public?!
Who else can I talk to about who’s hot and who’s not?! Yes the Hemsworth brothers are definitely hot!
5)
Girlie Movies, well movies in general
And…..
6)
For your yummy cooking
7)
Your superior knowledge of music, you are more
down with the kids than I am (not hard when I keep listening to stuff like
Westlife!)
8)
For liking all the pictures on my Facebook mostly
about Mia!
9)
Good gossiping and putting the world to rights
over a glass of wine
10)
And
finally for forgiving me for scaring Anand when he was over in the UK when he
was 7! Yes, that was a big hurdle in our relationship Lol
Anyway, Aunty, many, many happy returns of the day. Hope you
have an absolutely fabulous day. I know Mama will spoil you rotten so don’t
even need to say. So looking forward to spending your special day with you.
Lots of Love

What a gorgeous,
glamorous mother of the groom!
Very honoured to
share in one of the happiest days of your life.
Who would have
thought this posh looking lady would teach me one of my most useful life skills
(swearing) when she was my boss ;). Can't believe that was 28 years ago.
To my dear friend
Arun Happy 60th!
May you continue to
feel the joy of this day always

Aunty,
Your energy levels
are truly inspirational, your outlook towards life is truly motivational. You
are someone whom we truly admire, to become just like you when we grow old is
our only desire cause turning sixty may be the beginning of the sunset period
of your life but then sunsets are some of the most beautiful spectacles – all
you have to do is sit back and enjoy the view and moreover you are not turning
60, you are just turning 20 for the third time or you are just a 20 year old
with 40 years of experience.
Love, Shriya, Suma,
Rohin
Regards,
Rohin

Thank you for being

ps. Liz still hasn't learnt how to make your
