Granville, when Usha asked me yesterday, I did not fully remember. When and how we re-connected in recent years, I said you contacted me, but was it first at the Udupi temple in Edison at some cultural program like Yakshagana, or was it first just on online WhatsApp that you found me, a few years ago? Thank You.
gRANVILLE, NEW POPE ... amazing, looks like the late Pope had charted the course for the Catholic Church and Christianity to zoom well into the future, without having to get bogged down by the "limiting" controversial issues of current times, and of the past history .... (of the Church and also of the world, of course ???)
Granville, Have a nice trip. Have a good time. Enjoy. and, Thanks to you both for visiting us here the other day. That was EXCELLENT.
Granville, no news. mAnthErla sowkhya atthe ? encha uLLaaru ??? How is your trip going???
Granville, looks like you are back from the India trip. How was it ? and, How are you & family ? And, btw, many thanks for mentioning to me about the Basel Mission and its influence regarding TuLu language and script etc, it helped me to confirm and solidify my views regarding that subject and situation, clearing other possibilities or doubts and I was happy to mention about that influence or goals in one of my recent emails. 👍❤️🌹🙏🌹

Tried to call you on mobile number
Me:
Oh, Okay, Sorry. That mobile number is no longer valid, had to be cancelled because of the company not providing service and we wanted to stop the monthly automatic payment, which was happening for some time without service. And, at this time I decided it is best not to carry a mobile with me, happy to depend on my family regarding any mobile type needs. So, please use my email
TRHAL...@GMAIL.COM or
RAYA...@YAHOO.COM. instagram is @thirumalaraya, video call or audio call also possible there. in gmail chat or Meet also. or here in linkedin. Thanks.

(9) my review of FIRMOO, bought bifocal lined lens pair of eyeglasses
(as I said in an earlier online review of them, I liked this new bifocal lens glasses (trying bifocal for first time, it is as a second spare pair, better for reading (more lens area is there), also for TV viewing, but that for computer work my progressive lens glasses which I had bought earlier elsewhere were better).
also reviewed it on Trustpilot at

| Dear Dr. Halemane,
Thank you for your tremendous support and taking the time to share your views.
We are in the midst of the most extraordinary period of political reform in the history of our country. Since I took office on January 20, we have spared no time in making good on our promises to the American people and advancing our agenda of prosperity, peace, safety, and success.
Every day, my Administration is working tirelessly to seal our borders, crack down on violent crime, and bring back law and order to our communities. We have enforced our federal immigration laws, removed thousands of dangerous illegal aliens from our neighborhoods, stopped the flow of illicit drugs pouring across the border, and achieved the most secure border in our Nation’s history.
At the same time, we are rebuilding the economy, reshoring our manufacturing base, slashing prices, and unleashing American energy like never before. We are cutting Government waste; purging left-wing indoctrination from our schools; reviving pride in American culture, customs, history, and heritage; making America healthy again; and reasserting peace through strength on the world stage to deter our enemies and protect American interests.
Together, with proud, hardworking, American patriots like you, we will continue to build on this extraordinary momentum. We will rescue the American Dream. Above all, we will make our country safer, stronger, and greater than ever before.
The Golden Age of America is finally upon us—and we are only getting started. Thank you again for writing and for your incredible support. May God bless you, and may He continue to bless the United States of America. Sincerely,

| |

in the recent photo here, from a few years back, we see our good friends Amruthur Lakshmi Narasimhan and me, photo taken at his place, when I visited there and presented him this gift from us (seen holding in his hand in the photo), from our son Shilpi. It is the beer from Logsdon Farmhouse Ales, where Shilpi was working then in Portland OR region, and we had brought it with us after visiting him there. At the time, the company was relocating to Portland OR from Washougal WA. The company was in Hood River OR initially, and that's when Shilpi had joined them as a brewer, switching from another beer company (Widmer). He worked there in Hood River OR for some years, learning, getting trained, getting experience, contributing, leading, advising etc. He was promoted to Head Brewer while there. He had participated strongly in his leadership role during the two moves, for the factory, equipment, setup etc. He was much admired and respected by everyone there, co-workers, management, friends etc, Shilpi and the Logsdon company won several prestigious awards when he was working there. . .
