Maash Continues to Win Hearts!!

Ratheesh's Birthday Cake!, originally uploaded by Asha Mokashi.

Friends!

Our dear old Ratheesh Babu's popularity just keeps increasing with every passing year! Not just with "old people" but even with his totally new Banner team - who apparently just adore him!

One day before his birthday, they asked me for a photograph of Ratheesh, got a cake made with his Dubai Chettan photo on it [he once made the mistake of posing for me in that costume!!!], bought him a painting easel [so that he stops leading and goes back to painting?!!!] with all pencils and paint brushes, came early in the morning and decorated his place beautifully, and sent mail to the entire office inviting us to participate in the celebrations! Is this man popular or what?

He very sportingly agreed to do a demo of how the lungi is worn!! In full Kerala style! Don't miss the photos inside! [The lungi I once bought as a joke gift for someone, it is always at my place, and is used as prop for various funny events]

Three Cheers to Ratheesh, the King of Hearts!!
He has done North Kerala proud!! True son of the soil! [We have this North Kerala - South Kerala feud - as ex-SCT Mallus will remember! And I choose to remember that we North Kerala Mallus have always dominated!!!]
