HOW ARE YOU DOING ANNA , SIR , BHAI SAAB ? - 267

   HOW ARE YOU DOING ANNA , SIR ,                             BHAI SAAB

The above is a question which is normally asked of you when you are on a chat with a friend , acquaintance or relative on the phone or on  the various social media platforms, During normal times , this is a fairly simple question and hours can be whiled away describing all your activities .

The very same question becomes very difficult to answer in these COVID times . Being very much on the wrong side of the sixties and being confined in your home with your better half for company  for almost 300 days now , with nothing worthwhile to do in a small  place like AGASTHIARPATTY that is just beginning to shed its tag of being a small village to transform itself into a small town, is rather difficult to answer .

Each passing day is no different from  the one the day before and by the look of things ,there is hardly any chance of it being any different tomorrow also . 

One sort of starts getting totally bored  and disoriented with all the happenings or should I say nothing happening  around you .

We are now weii into 2021 and phase TWO of the Vaccination drive is in full  progress  , let us Hope , Wish and Pray that the worst is behind us and that there is AN ALL NEW DAWN FOR ALL OF US .

    2020, while tumultuous for me, with my having to leave Tanzania, leave behind my hospital, be stuck in Mumbai for over eight months, then a self-quarantine in Dubai for a week, followed by 14-days serious quarantine in Auckland, I managed to get my story of ten years in TZ published. I also got a recipe book "Tirunelveli Specials" published.

    I wrote my proposal to the university that gor accepted and got myself enrolled to a PhD program and am now in Dunedin with my mother waiting to begin my studies.

    Sanitas continues to survive, albeit, badly. But I hope 2021 will see it make positive strides and head to good health like in the past.

    So, I guess, I did the best I could in 2020 and look forward to 2021 being a good year

AYODHYA YAATRA DAY 1 - 702

Image
 AYODHYA YAATRA  DAY - ONE     Sundar Holiday Travels  As instructed  by Mr Ashok of Sunder Travels , we were dot on time at 9.00 thanks primarily due to smooth flow of traffic from Vadapalani to the Chennai  Airport .  Other Yatrees also slowly trooped in . Ashok seemed to have his way with the Indigo Airways . Group Check in saved us a lot of time . Lunch packet Distribution done we were on our way and were before time at Lucknow .  Lucknow was a lot different from what I had imagined , airport was spotlessly clean as was their baggage handling services .  Mr Ashok saw to it that we were off on a Bus to Ayodhya in a flash . It was a near Two and a Half Hour journey and we reached the Resort by 5.30 pm .  Our Chennai to Lucknow Flight  was by The  Indigo Airbus A 320 Flight 6E 515  Aircraft with a capacity of 180 Passengers.  That , we from the Sunder Travels made up for the larger part of these Seats made ...

Ayodhya Yaatraa Day -3 - 704

Image
                  Ayodhya Yatra - Day 3  The highlight of the day was to be the Holy Dip in the Triveni Sangamam .  For the uninformed Triveni Sangamam is the place where the Three Rivers Ganga Yamuna and Saraswathy converge into one . It is the place where Veni Daanam is given after a bath in the River .  The 20 Minute Boat Ride takes you to this place of convergence of these three rivers . The Boatmen help you to take a dip in the water . Old set of clothes are discarded symbolising the discarding of everything bad and the start of a new fresh life .  Ganga is slightly murky while the Yamuna is clearer , Saraswathy is Antervaahini and it converges under water .  The Dhambadhi Pooja after the Dip in the Holy Waters  was performed with all the diligence that the occasion demands . The Sastrigal performed the Ritual which is an almost second time Marriage where vows are taken to lead a life in all happiness and be...

VAIKOM VISIT- IN GODS OWN COUNTRY - 686

Image
 VAIKOM VISIT - IN GODS OWN                     COUNTRY  Kerala has always been my favourite place of visit over the years . Its cleanliness , its greenery,  waterways , not to forget its spirituality and beautiful people in more ways than one  have always held  a special attraction for  me . We , that is me and my Better Half have visited Kerala before  and visited many of  its  Temples and Tourist Attractions.  One place missing in this list has been the Viakom  Sri Mahadeva Temple . We decided to embark  on  a visit to this place and Mami was spot on to point out that there was a direct Train from Ambasamudram to Vaikom Road by the 16792 Palaruvi Express starting from ASD at 11.57 PM and reaching Vaikom Road Station at 7.30 Am the next morning . Nothing could be better ,  We made the Reservations for both the Up  and Down Jorneys on the 11 th and 13 th Jun...
