Thanks Rajesh! You have recreated a world of rose water and jasmine and payasam with great skill. I note you mention Tirunelveli as your original ``native place.`` I believe my origins may be traced from that dot on the map as well. For Tambrahms all over the world, this piece will bring back wonderful memories. It has been many years since I enjoyed an authentic wedding in the best traditions of yesteryear.
