  50. Hey Madhav, Happy Birthday! Have a great year! =)

    ReplyDelete
  51. Happy birthday dude,
    i made the same announcement, albeit with more apocalypse, some months back. Seems like I've gotten a discount on the price of true greatness.

    and I think that list also holds the first Shankaracharya and one of the Genghis Khan types.

    ReplyDelete
  52. You're just about getting there. A few more years :)
    Happy B'day!

    ReplyDelete
  53. Here's hoping for an execution, plane crash, and allergic reaction free life.

    Live long and prosper.

    ReplyDelete
  54. kruthagnathalu=thanks.
    kruthagnathalu with the 'gna' stressed when you say it=ingratitude.
    subtle difference in pronunciation!

    ReplyDelete
  55. Happy Birthday Madhav Chetta! :P

    ReplyDelete
  56. Well... I heard this story too many times... about a friend, who wanted to instruct his maid to come in the afternoon to wash cloths, got Hindi translation from his friend, went to the maid and said "Aap raath ko aa jaayiye!"

    Now you can understand why I doubted. :-)

    ReplyDelete
  57. happy bday - 32 is it dude? (jesus did 33 i guess)

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  59. Thunderbird, actually.

    Thanks, thank you very much.

    ReplyDelete
  60. Thanks. I'll remember Shankaracharya and the Khan type when I - hopefully - turn 34.

    ReplyDelete
  61. A few more years to get where?

    Thanks!

    ReplyDelete
  62. Ha ha.
