iMelan with Sivagami Umapathy

In this episode, Sivagami talks about the initial trepidation in the college, then enjoying it, work life, getting married, moving to US and coping with the challenge of balancing work and life. Suresh rightly said Sivagami should write a book on her ‘just in time and assembly line approach’ cooking. To prepare breakfast and lunch for the whole family including in-Laws before punching timesheet at 8.30 am for work certainly demands resourcefulness! All this in a humorous easy conversation interspersed with Madras Bashai.
