Achutty Chettan's Speech

Good evening Family and Friends

On June 09, 2000, we were at the Pasadena Rose Bowl taking Sandhya to a concert by her favorite boy band N Sync when we got the call from Kuttan that Preetha is in labor and going to hospital. We are so glad that the bundle of joy that was born the next early morning is graduating today.

Pranav, if I remember correctly, your cousins from CA – Priya , Sandhya , Arun and Ajay are the ones who nicknamed this millennium boy kuttooose. May be the Mexican influence in CA that made them coin this name of kuttoose to little baby kuttan like Tequito for the little Taco.

Sandhya was hoping you will be an excellent musician like her NSync idols, instead you have turned out to be a sports wizard in addition to your academic excellence. I have never seen anyone who knows so much about sports , especially sports statistics. I tried my best to learn a lot to challenge you, but miserably failed. I heard that your Udu valiachan also tried a lot but had to give up since you are like a sports Wikipedia.

Pranav, it is time now to say Bye bye bye like the N Sync song to the school and enter the next chapter of your life in college. We are sure you will do very well.

 On behalf of the entire family, I wish you the very best always, We are proud of your achievements and Congratulations…..
