be sub-editor in Indian Express, Chennai some where in this period
1970 -1975 (ish), His name was Mr. Ramani.I don't know his full
name. Would anyone by any chance have his contact details in your

daughter Jayashree.
Am in Chennai for the next 2 months and would like to contact my
best friend from school. I did go to my alma mater, Monahan Girls'
High School, where the records didn't have most recent address.
I have also heard, that she was married to the son of Mr. K. V.

Dear Dr.Vyasamoorthy,
Thank you for your mail and assistance. Further to my previous request for my friends contact details, posted earlier today, I am very PLEASED to inform, that I was able to contact my dearest and best friend Jayashree, thanks to you!!!
For 35 years since leaving school, i have often thought of getting in touch with her, but didnt know how. Usually women tend to leave friendships once they get married, even if they dont want to. MOving to another city, also didnt help.
That being said, yes, its been 35 years, and i was finally able to talk to her. And you know what? Nothing changed. We had the same love and affection even today just as the time we were school kids. We talked on the phone and reminisced about our innocent times together, family, friends teachers et al.
We will be meeting tomorrow. She too sends her heartfelt thanks to you.
She asked me how I was able to contact her, and I told her that I wrote an e-mail in our group and you helped me . Once again Thankyou very much for uniting me with my best childhood friend. Big thank you for thatha patty group .
And thank you once again Dr. Vyasamoorthy.
Thank you and god bless,
Warm regards,
Mrs. Lata Subbaraman

Google Recent Information :
Google goes desi!
GOOGLE TRANSLATION has been constantly evolving for the better. In early November 2009, Google has announced quicker translation. That is, translation appears as you type along! This is simply superb and thrilling. The facility is available from English to fifty languages and vice versa. We should be happy to note that Hindi is one among them.
I typed in the following text and got quick translation as shown below. By inputting the English version and asking for French I got back almost correctly what I wrote in the first instance.
Input In English:
Good morning dear friends! I do not know French but I am trying to write in French using Google Translator. Google translator is good for most purposes. See what it gives in reverse translation.
Translation into French
Bonjour chers amis! Je ne sais pas le français mais je suis en train d'écrire en français en utilisant Google Translator. Google Translator est bon pour la plupart des usages. Voir ce que cela donne dans la traduction inverse.
Reverse Translation into English
Hello dear friends! I do not know French but I am writing in French using Google Translator. Google Translator is good for most uses. See what happens in the reverse translation.
Pretty good, you will agree.
There is a phonetic component as well. You can hear the translation spoken by a lady over you speakers / headphone. There is also a management tool to keep track of your translation jobs. What is impressive is that you can upload complete files – no need to key in.
All translations are free. Professional translators can cut down their efforts greatly and stick to just fine tuning the draft. If translators are willing they may tell (educate) Google with a better translation also. Try this at translate.google.com"

Google Dashboard
Google Dashboard - Gain Total Control over your Google Account Privacy
Have you ever wondered what Google stores in the 'settings' of various Google product accounts used by you? How much of it is private and what is actually shared? Want to change some of the settings for better security and safety? Google Dashboard, launched early this November provides an elegant answer.
You may be a Google user just for Searching the web and Gmail or a sophisticated user of several Google products like Gmail, News Alerts, Google Docs, Picasa, YouTube, Google sites, Orkut, Blogger etc. When you started using (signed up) each of these services or products you may have entered certain data about yourself or how you want to use the product in 'settings'. What exactly are you storing in Google products and how much of it open to public may be nagging you. Now Google dashboard comes to your rescue.
In order to use the Dashboard just log into any of your Google products say Gmail. Then in the URL Window type: http://www.google.com/dashboard. A page opens up showing all the products used by you along with links to control the data entered and shared or kept private by you. For example in the case of my Gmail account it shows:
Besides giving statistics about the contents of Inbox, All Mail, Sent Mail, Saved Drafts, Chat history, Trash etc, you also get hyperlinks to:
Manage chat history
Manage HTTPS settings
Manage all Gmail settings
Gmail privacy policy
Privacy and security help
There are similar pages for each of the products you use in Google.
For example in my Google Profile page, only certain data is in public view. I am in complete control over what I want to share. I can change this whenever I want. Google Dashboard is a single place to locate and manage all the personal information about the accounts that we hold. Security, safety and privacy issues can be handled better now, thanks to Google Dashboard.
