Translation work by mom

Two years ago (2011), on her 80th birthday I asked my mother to take up a new assignment. I asked her to translate a classic in Tamil. With sheer persistence, she completed translating Jules Verne's "Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Sea" in Tamil, which runs into 750 pages of fulls-cape size. Now I need get them typed and arrange to get it published.

Winner of music quiz

Yesterday (Dec 26 2013) for the Carnatic Music Quiz organized by Kutcheri Buzz, 37 teams participated in the prelims and 6 teams got qualified for the finals. We too (Jayanthi Sundar and myself) are one of the finalists. Interestingly my mother who came there just for watching the program, made a team on the spot. In the exciting finals, my mother's team won the 3rd prize! Our team? Don't ask!
