Another powerful step forward for HABB.
Some weeks don’t explode with noise. They expand quietly – through people, preparation, movement, and meaning. This was one of those weeks.
🤝 December 3 – When Collaboration Crossed Borders
That week began with our table growing longer.
We welcomed Sutheesh S from Tamil Nadu, India, and later Atavinthan Chellappah from Switzerland into our workspace. Different journeys. Different accents. Same direction.
From Jaffna → India → Switzerland, the conversation flowed naturally – not hype, not promises, just intent. When people with drive sit together, borders turn into bridges.
Our AI journey moved into a deeper phase here – real tasks, real outcomes, real responsibility.
🪔 December 4 – Karthigai Vilakkeedu at the Office
The next day, the office shifted mood.
We celebrated Karthigai Vilakkeedu together – lamps lit, space warmed, minds calm. Old traditions, new dreams. A reminder that growth doesn’t mean forgetting where we come from.
🙏 December 5 – Temple, Team & a Simple Lunch
December 5 began quietly – a visit to Perumal Kovil, grounding ourselves before the work ahead. Afterwards, we shared a simple lunch together.
No agenda. Just people.
📅 December 8–9 – Steady Days, Silent Progress
The following days moved normally – meetings, follow-ups, planning. Not every day needs drama. Some days are just bricks being placed carefully.
🤝 December 10 – Strategy, Mentorship & Shared Meals
December 10 brought an important meeting with Thuvaraka B. Prashanthan, Founder & CEO of HappyMarket.lk.
Later that day, we shared lunch at Vanni Inn – me Senthalan Vyravanathan , Sanjeev Vijayaratnam , Kowshigan Mathivarnan , Suthesan Thiruvarudselvam , and Purusothman Vivekananthan .

Last Saturday, we attended the Good Market Trade Fair, Colombo, representing HappyMarket.lk on behalf of Ms. Thuvaraka B. Prashanthan.
Along with Thulaxan Uthayakumar and Sanjeev Vijayaratnam, we didn’t just observe – we listened.
We engaged with visitors from USA, New Zealand, Japan, Spain, and England, and shared space with stakeholders from the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports.
Real market research hits different. This is where digital marketing meets real people.

⚙️ December 16 – Clients, POS & Rainy Roads
Morning started at Perumal Kovil, then a client meeting at Best Mother Food Pvt Ltd with Poppurusho.
Kathir from BMF, along with a cooking institute & hotel consultancy, discussed digital marketing opportunities.
Later – HABB POS system installation with Thuverakan. Lunch followed.
Bike oil change at Arunagiri Motors,

The ride thuverakan’s home through Navatkuli A32, tea at Poonery, heavy rain all the way to Kilinochchi and back via A9.

📈 December 17 – Planning & Decorations Begin
December 17 was about alignment.

Then – a meaningful moment.
We celebrated the birthday of Thuvaraka B. Prashanthan with a HABB-side wish and cake cutting.

📊 December 19 – Strategy, Tea & a Milestone
December 19 wrapped the chapter.
A meeting with Robinson B. Prashanthan, Inzainiya, Kowshigan, Sanjeev, Jeyarakavan, and me – focused on OOIVU marketing strategy.
Tea at Zen Café, Kaladdi Junction, then back to the office.
We spoke about social media growth. And yes – HABB Facebook crossed 100K reach.
Quiet milestone. Big meaning.
Meanwhile, our UK directors Andrew Asher and Thenujan Amirthanathan stayed closely connected – updates flowing both ways.
