About the Photos

The photos were taken at the Aquarium at KL and in Penang in Oct, when I went to visit Malaysia with my father and nephew. My father grew up in Malaysia and came to India after age 14. So it was an emotional trip for him to return to his city of Penang. Nagarajan and Mohanan were the most gracious hosts and it felt so great to travel with Naga for a week and then spend a weekend with Mohanan. 

In India, Malaysia is often promoted as a shopping place and more importance is given to Singapore. I was pleasantly surprised by the natural beauty of Malaysia and the national parks in Malaysia. It would be a crime not to mention the food in Malaysia. Street hawkers make food 24/7 and Naga the epicurean was always in search of the best street food. My only regret in Penang was that we; Guna(Naga's friend), Naga and myself, could not eat at the Thai food place we went in search of at 2.30 AM. It was closed.

Thanks again Naga and Mohanan.

    I have asked my brother to contact you regarding the fund transfer. Hopefully the amount £500.00 should reach the account shortly. Depending on the amount we raise, I will try and send some more if required, (Masam Kadaisi-Month end: credit crunch). Hopefully others have started with their contributions

    Hi RaghuRam,
    Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
    Yesterday night I had a 1 year old child from Dharmapuri. Severe respiratory distress . I had tried to avoid intubation for about 2 hours. The child had stridor and hence was giving adrenaline nebs and such. In the end had to intubate.
    The family is poor as poor can be. Kind of patient you would see in govt hospitals. The mother was sitting in her haunches and said ,I dont know what to do,(coolie velai,polai na panam illai,Namma kitta vidya u illai padam mu illai.)We are in fact having to support their meals. Have asked the father to go back to work.Not sure what he has,is behaving like brochiolitis obliterans. Too early, will have to work him up properly.Hope he survives. If he does,may all the blessing come to you.
    Thank you ever so much.Will keep you updated. Currently I have close to 14 lakhs that I am working with.
    I hope you meant my cause,because you have sent the comment to Prabhakar. If it was, you are the first.
    warm regards
    Meera

    Raghuram & Prabhakar
    I am extremely sorry if I have embarrassed both of you by jumping the gun and assuming the money is for my cause. Should not have replied without confirming. Raguram if it is meant for something else,please ignore my ramblings and don't feel compelled
    regards
    Meera
