@ Native !!!

Getting over with the last night in this trip at TVM. And this is the first blog from my newly bought home PC. I came to TVM as planned, last wednesday. It was almost 24 hours train journey along with my cousin and brother in law. Wednesday it was a bandh in kerala, which is the only thing sincerely followed by all keralites... Nothing will move. :-(. Our train was blocked for 3 hours at Palakad. Since we three were there we could do enough timepass with all my *gollies*. 7pm we reached TVM central and the next thoughest task was getting a rickshaw for me as well as for them. After agreeing for double charge, we got two autos. This time my luggage troubled me a lot. One big box having the gramaphone, one big hand baggage and one shoulder bag. I did all sort of circus to get it till my home. Next day, ie, Thursday, myself amma and achan went for the marriage. Chettahi and shambu couldn't come along with us 'coz they were waiting for my brother to reach TVM from Pondi. His bus was late. Muhoortham was at 12.00pm. He reached home by 11.30am. I quickly took my brother in laws car and drove back to my home from the marriage hall. I picked up chettan, chettathi and nephew, and came back to the marriage hall, but by that time, the function was over. We just missed. :-(. All our relatives were present. I was the target sometimes for answering all the questions about my marriage and settlement. I escaped those by telling some junk execuses. Friday it was reception party from gents side, and one more party on Saturday by the girls side. Honestly speaking I hate attending too many functions like this. My bro. in law gave me a good company with which I survived there.
Friday and Saturday evenings I had a galla time with my friends. Nandu, Ganesh, Arun, Manoj, Ramesh, Sharath, Appu, Shammy etc:- all came to meet me and we had small sessions also. Between all these activities, I squeezed in enough time to be with Deepu. I could handover the money to his mother which we collected between us back in bangalore.
Now am getting myself prepared to go back to bangalore by 1.00pm train tomorrow. All these days, I had many ups and downs, which I would like not to share it here. One way I'll like to go back 'coz Bangalore is more known place for me than TVM now a days. But leaving my parents, brother, chettathi and my lovely nephew, Mr. Shambhu is very painful. :-(. I have recorded a video of shambhu's dance. He'll be a better dancer than his chittappa in the future for sure.. He heeeeeee.....

For my new *born* sister

I dedicate this blog to Indumathi Kasinathan alias Indu, who tied "rakhi" for me, on the eve of raksha bandhan. This is the first time in my life someone has tied rakhi and accepting me as her brother. I had been to Indu's house that day where I met her father and mother along with Ambiga. It was a pleasent welcome. This raksha bandhan was a preplanned one and with atmost sincerity I went there, met everyone and had a good time with Indu's family. She took me to the pooja room, and infront of God and parents, she tied rakhi for me... I can't say in words, how happy I was to receive such a big honour to be a brother. She is the only daughter and while tying the rakhi, I could see her hand shivering. I could sense that she was totally involved in this activity and by heart she has accepted me as her brother... I loved each and every moment there... Had some "sarkara pongal" parecelled and left the place after sometime.... An unforgettable day in my life... :-)
