Tirupathi mottai

Gautam had his parents take him to Tirupathi, where he parted with his hair to be offered to Balaji at the hill temple. His mundan follows Gautam's first birthday, celebrated recently.

Didi Saranya is a veteren in this department.She has even been on an international flight.On her flight to Singapore Saranya took her grandma Bhagya along,on her first foreign trip.Both did their sight-seeing while Uma had to attend office at Singapore. Her job with Macgraw Hills,New Delhi,entails foreign travel.
