Dear Srinidhi, Girish, Preeti, Kajal, Nandini, Sunitha, Bubla, Jaya, Siddarth and others

Sorry for the long silence from me. I became heavily preoccupied with work, the new home and my new way of life. After a highly enjoyable and ' bald' honeymoon in early March, I have settled down to my new style of life and thoroughly enjoying it - early wakeup, yoga, brisk walk, individual prayer in mornings, family prayer in the evenings, dinner together, visit to the adopted poor families once a while, hard and concentrated work at work place, stylish dress with ultra short hair, ' wet' parties once in a while, chauffeur driven car, etc.

My mom and Pranati enjoyed their ' gundu' heads in March very much. Both had about mid back hair before that. Though Pranati was ragged a bit on the first day in the bank, almost everyone agreed she looked very good with her round bald head. So she discarded her scarf and moved about bald. Mom never wore one in the first place. As per mom' s wish both had their repeat Tirumala ' gundu' (each had a growth of about an inch) on April 9th - this time in Kalyanakatta.

On April 10th I had my first ' Sowmya' military cut - a nice experience in the parlour. The sides and back hair was clipped to the skin to about two inches above the ear with no perceptible dip at the back and the top about quarter inch long. Though it looked more like a marine' s cut, I enjoyed it, giggling at my own appearance.

Mom has decided - to dad' s exquisite happiness - to keep her hair a short boycut with occasional tonsures. She says short hair is quite convenient and sensuous. To my surprise, Deepa has succeeded in pressurising Pranati also to be a shorty for a while. Fortunately mom and Pranati' s hairs, like mine, grow fast. So, last Sunday (22nd May) I took both of them to the parlour along with Deepa. Mom' s one and half inch growth was trimmed into a nice boyish cut with the sides and back clippered to about quarter inch long hair. The length on top was not reduced much. She is very happy about the cut. However Deepa, Pranati and myself got ' Deepa' type of cuts - clipped bald on back and sides to about an inch above the ear with a dip in the cut line at the back and the top hair about one and quarter inch, neatly trimmed to a boyish style. All of us looked exquisite. Pranati also felt happy about her ' school-boy' cut as she called it. She will have a monthly cut like that for about three months after which she will grow it long again.

Next month end I will have a similar cut before moving into my mom' s house for Ashadh. Early August, we will have our family tonsure at Tirumala - mil, fil, Deepa, Vishy and myself. I will give an update after that.
