Yasmin wrote: Thanks, Aurelia! Uma later told us that her family had never before invited strangers into their home. They were doctors and university professors and had a beautiful home with marble floors and three levels. We felt so honored they would open their wonderful home to us! Before retiring, Uma's mother taught Tamil at university and said if I gave her two weeks, she'd have me speaking Tamil. I'd love to take her up on that offer someday...

You had been lucky to be spotted by a kind soul and her family ... Welcome to India, Uma's home is yours too ... I can feel it ... You may just vanakkam ... nalla irukeengala maami ... which means, welcome, are you good auntie ? We address all folks like our relatives ... Enjoy Yasmin :)
