few pics for public consumption..
















This was the rivulet just outside the karaiyar dam.had a nice little oil batch here. the flow was fast enuf to be soothing.















Karaiyar at probably half its glory.On the other side of the hill (the one that is closer to your eye) is the banatheertham falls(alias chinna chinna aasai falls)















n quiet flows the tamirabarani on the day of panguni uthiram at pazhavoor.on the other side is pattamadai.















The romantic little passenger train chugging along from quilon to tirunelveli at tenkasi gate.It was quite airy at that time .My dad commented, "Dei Arizona kaathu paaru da".















hey wats this?? This place is responsible for making adyar, a livable place,thesophical Society , Madras.

a tribute to Chandra Vilas..

a technically defunct restaurant in Tirunelveli junction,which can evoke an affirmative response from even those, who do not beleive in the culinary pleasures of life.Every time i stay in tirunelveli,my family makes it to this supposedly hell-hole of a place.At 15 bucks per meal , it's problably the best food i have ever had outside my home. lunch here,u would feel u haven't lunched at all.my opinion has been seconded by quite a few people. a comment by an anonymous relative of my dad on the food here, " vayathukku unnume seyyathu".
