        IT IS BY FAR THE CHEAPEST HERE  AS ALL YOU FRIENDS MAY BE AWARE , BY A GOOD FORTUNE OF THE GRACE OF THE  GOOD LORD ABOVE  , I HAVE TRAVELLED FAR AND WIDE ACROSS THE GLOBE AND HAVE ALSO HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO TRAVEL BY TRAIN IN MANY OF THESE COUNTRIES . SITTING HERE IN CANADA I CAME ACROSS A BOARD WHICH WAS POSTED IN ANOTHER GROUP WHICH SHOWED THE PASSENGER TRAIN FARE DETAILS EX AMBAS TO VARIOUS PLACES . WE , WHICH INCLUDES ME , YOURS TRULY FOR SOME UNKNOWN REASON LIKE TO CRITICIZE THE SERVICE PROVIDERS BE IT FROM THE STATE OR CENTRAL AUSPICES FOR NO LOGICAL REASON AND DO A GREAT DISSERVICE TO OUR NATION BY PAINTING IT IN ALL THE WRONG COLOURS.

SIVARATHRI 2026 at Ajax -825

The place MANJOLAI which finds mention in this song is a Scenic and Picturesque place located in the Western Ghats or Pothigai Malai close to Ambai and Kallidai in Tirunelveli District of Tamilnadu . The British were the first to establish Tea Plantations here way back in 1919 which was subsequently leased out to Bombay Burmah Trading Company for 99 Years . Generations have toiled in these lands and been a part of this land in more ways than one . Being deep inside the mountains , INDIA POST was the only mode of Communication for the people of these parts . Mobile phones came much later . For better or worse these plantations are now closed and have  made way for the Wildlife Sanctuary about which I shall detail later. THIS  POST OFFICE IS NOW...
