Namratha and her awesome family which let me stay there for 2 nights and make me feel so at home! :D

Singing Maara Vairi (Naasika Booshani raagam)

All the kids! Wide range of ages, and ALL of them sang solo!

Swetha, her sister Sandhya, Nammu and me :)

Happily discussing prior to Maithreem Bhajatha

The Mridangam player - Mr. Prakash.

All of us singing Jagadanandakaraka

Gomathi Maami, the leader of the Pancharatna Kritis, me, Shailaja giving Sri Thyagarajar's history, and Namratha

Subramaniam Maama doing the deevaardhanai. First time I saw/smelt karpuram since I came here! I LOVE the smell!

2 Maamas chanting slokams.

Pre-Thyagaraja Aradhana. And Nammu's dad testing the mic.

Our hearty dinner while watching Guru on YouTube. Pita bread (naan), potato curry and moor! This is THE life! :D (I'm not being sarcastic, btw.)

Potato Curry looks pretty good eh? :D

Namratha putting molaga podi Chandramukhi style (note the expression of glee while overly putting chilli powder!). I'd just missed her "laka laka laka".

Nammu caught the "eww gross, I'm in the kitchen" expression on my face while I was emptying the potatoes into the frying pan

At the entrance of a HAUNTED HOUSE. Teenu, you'd love it!

I'm sure Teenu would agree with this.

I felt very very dwarfed.

With the Fantastic Four! AAAH! :D

Superhero Mania!!!
