Windy....Saral....
That pretty much sums up the theme this time. Was a 4 day trip from the 16 to the 20 th. Stayed in Ambasamudram Gowri Shankar, a decent hotel for a place like Ambai. The usual suspects Banatheertham, Karaiyar were always there in my itenary. Saw Banatheertham in probably half its glory, surely a majestic sight. Made it to the Gadanadhi Dam near Azhwarkurichi. The quantum of water in the dam did not matter, the wind and the seclusion compensated for that. With the Tirunelveli-Punalur Metre gague bound to bid adieu on July the 15th, had to make it to Punalur. With Saral in TN and rains in Kerala , it was a delighful sight to watch. Made it to Mekkarai Dam on the way to achankiol...another windy experiance. Saw the deserted Agraharam in Sundarapandiapuram ,which played host to films like Roja, Dum Dum Dum, Gentleman. Missed the green theme this time as the paddy sowing season hasn't started yet.The pics would follow soon.
