A reunion of ex emloyees of Anugrah Madison (Team Anugrah)to felicitate me on my 80th birthday where my latest book was also released was held yesterday at Sastri Nagar Ladies Club, close to my home. About 23 team members had turned up . I was surprised to see Vivek & Koshy who had come all the way from Amsterdam & Dubai only to attend the event. So also Murugan from Bangalore. The programme meticulously planned by Shobha Murthy gave enough opportunities for members to go down memory lane. The screening of the seven minute film on me by Rajeshwari Anand, a long time associate, as her personal tribute was followed by a quiz that she conducted based on the film. A film titled `Naalu Parukkaikaha` based on a short story by my late wife Prabha and produced by Shobha`s daughter Shruthy sponsored by Prabha Rajan Talent Foundation was also screened. The four senior managers of Anugrah were felicitated with special Cardamom garlands. The icing on the cake was a special `RVR-80` ceramic mug gifted to all members who attended the event. I was happy to learn that many of the members had turned entrepreneurs and were doing very well. It was also heartening to know that they all harbored very pleasant memories of their association with Anugrah and were grateful to the management for empowering them and teaching them good values which has stood them in good stead in their respective careers. The meeting was followed by a typical south Indian lunch. The fact that even after lunch members were hanging around until they were forced out of the hall by the next event organizer reflected the success of the event.
Personally I was happy that I was in the company of my old colleagues who were like my family who also ensured that all the copies of my new book which I had taken to the venue were sold out. Thanks Shobha & Team for organizing a memorable event.
