Happy birthday to two of you


Two of the third generation of our Kandathil family celebrate their birthday today.

We would lke you to join us in wishing Harsha Mathew, son of Chacko and Amu Matthew, and grandson of Mathukuttychayan, (K. M. Mathew) and the late Annammakochamma, is 25 today. He is also a fellow Stephanian.

Recently, I wrote about the melodic voice of (Dr.) Shantakochamma, wife of Mohanchayan (Dr. K. O. Mammen). Our family is not short of vocal talent. I think one of the very best voices in our family is our second birthday girl - Susan, eldest daughter of Accakuttykochamma (Mrs. K. G. Kuruvilla) and the late Kurullechayan. Accakuttykochamma is the eldest daughter of the late Mambaltheappappachen and ammachi (K. M. Oommen's).

Susan has regaled us on many an occasion and I have sat and listened to her sing pop songs of my era and later. I wish Susan would make some sound bytes for me use on the internet when I include some sound on these web pages!! Would not that make this blog more interesting and vibrant. (This dinosaur ignoramus has finally figured out how to add sound to the blog pages.)

Susan is married to Moni Abraham, and they have three children, Priya, Anjali and Anand. Priya was married to Raj in December 2003, a wedding attended by our two daughters just before the family reunion in Kottayam. Susan and Moni live in Ontario, Canada.

Sadly no pictures of these birthday kids.
