Raj on the ROCKS!
After the dam visit, went to Ramakalmedu on the KL-TN border, here Ram was searching his wife from this hill top n hence the name.. this peak was abt 3500ft above sea level n you have to trek 500m in the steep slope.. And it was a nice experience n an adventurous too. the last 100m was thrilling n kolai nadungi vitathu!!! only few of us were successfully reached the peak. others jus watched:-) (few fotos were missing from this spot will be uploaded later)

The cottage where we stayed at Bodimettu. we reached this cottage at around 9:30 PM n it was too cold.. by the time it passed 11:00 PM the temperature was freezing with heavy winds:-)))) i dont think this place will have summer at all!!

Day2 started jus started.. This is the huge balcony of the cottage.. u can see the aerial view of  Cumbam, Theni n other towns.. night view was a good one (again missed that photo). Thanks to Jeff n his Dad for arranging this, except that 1 hr mokkai from another uncle(will pass by 7 'o clock:-)

The day i landed on earth 29 years ago - Dec 13

Its been quite long time I have written anything in my diary(blog).. I think its the time now as Im awake n Sowme went to home-town:-() We didn't plan anything for my bday last month. Jus started the day and went to ofc. Lucky to come back home little early by 6:30 in the evening after a cake cutting party at ofc mottai maadi. I was on white shirt n choc cake;-)  And went to temple as per Sowme's instruction(I dont know I ever went to temples especially on my bdays).. Things change! Another surprise was that Lenin,Antony n Paul came with the cake and me and sowme cut it.

Maada maligai...






 I very well remember the last bday, my Dad, mom and me went to Kumbakonam for a pilgrimage. Actually my bday just falls on that sunday so i have to visit quite few temples last year. We went to some temples for the nava graha poojas and visited the so called kaveripattinam. The then TN gov jus re-created those structures and were amazing. Its there in the same blog!
Dont know my marriage hapend very soon becoz of those temple visits.. Guys u can also have a try!


Hope will continue to write again soon...And i saw lot of changes in blogger interface easy n nice:-)
