Dear Shantha,

I love your website and have it bookmarked. I am tamil married to someone from north Karnataka and I find your site extremely valuable in learning a lot about how to follow festivals, prepare foods etc.
Some things you explain so clearly it helps understand things on a much better level than even my mother in law or mother…

God bless you, and continue your excellent work…
