Clouds Retreat
It’s again with those energetic chaps, in a rainy climate, got a good rejuvenation on the grace of Kodai hills. Me, Jai, Subbu, Mak & Kee was planning this for a long time under the guidance of our onsite co-ordinator Chan :). This proposal got many iterations through number of mail threads, (after all, we were in IT) got confirmed on a good rainy day. Kodai @ this rainy season? Hoooo, you guys gone crazy! Don’t you have any good season? Logical questions from our dears & nears! Our mind voice with, “we will get good answers for you”! The real enjoyment we get it is when people say, we won’t get it. We got it! The day came Nov 6th, Rains were at its peak, flooded Chennai. My departure started pleasantly and ended in minutes of horror. It seemed like a climax for a Tamil film. My plan is to reach Koyam, Chennai at 7.30 PM and I started 6 from Chrom, with the dinner packed from Nalas. A terror on the traffic, and I got to reach the spot off late after 1 hour :(. Thank god, I boarded the bus as everyone was in my situation. Huu! Totally wet! Kee ll be joining us from B’lore and other four were in bus.
We started by 8.30 PM, I guess. Jai got to look slim, Mak too. Subbu with his same old elegant smile! His smile often remembers a child’s chuckle. After initial inquiries, they had their dinner with softy Appams that I got for them! I’m totally tired after a big struggle. A bit we discussed about our office goings, hikes, project moves. After, Yes lights off! And a nice shock, with a brand new authentic Tamil film, Guess! “Mayandi Kudumbathar”. Oops, but ok! No way to escape! Many blinking eyes, pasted on the television, convinced themselves. It’s not so bad, but a good village family drama. Mostly I’m not used to bus & travel sleeps, I simply hate it. I used to watch out the windows and enjoy the mild breeze n distant twinkles. I missed my window seat, as subbu occupied it:( ! Mak got caught hold with Jai’s stories, I’m not sure, and how many are mokkais (lol Jai). Even I got a mild treatment, from subbu’s light snoring! (Sorry Subbu:)) But it doesn’t disturb me, I was listening few music in my mobile (Chan, but he’s not a good chase for you). I still remember the night at house boat, Allepey, at when me n mak missed our sleep out of Chan’s big snores.
After few hard flashes, few tolls, few halts, it gradually reached dindigul. I missed to tell another passenger with us, it’s that big rain :) It’s approximately 5-6 morning, we are ready to elevate on the slopes, the air on the moisture, notified us, we are climbing the heights. Completely chill, I enjoyed the day break with the mesmerizing scenes, the mixture of clouds & trees in the long horizons. I asked Subbu to shift the seat and I tried to capture a few in my mobile through the windows. These hours are totally enjoyable, as we got the pure oxygen and after few hairpin bends, we reached the dreamland.
We landed near to our stay place, its Hilltop, a nice residence. The person in reception, invited with an unwanted English lectures, even we seemed to be Tamils. Our room is totally comfortable, especially an LCD television, it remembered me the last night movie. Huuuu! Now Kee’s entrance, he too reached Kodai from B’lore, with a scoop of ice creams. Chill place, chill climate, chill scoops (Adanga mattranunga). Here, I need to say about this guy, Kee, He’s a dynamic laugh maker, key for guffaws, gone crazy all the time. On his presence, 100% fun is guaranteed. Kee gave us a performance with towel, but a bit :), as we ran out of time. Our first day and first plan is to get ready for a walk around the lake. Everybody got ready. It’s time for a hot tea. Jai was explaining about his marriage process, Kee’s counter comments, gave us stomach pains. After a quick photo sessions, started from the room.
The climate was so cool, but not rainy. I’m very new to Kodai, and I really enjoyed each place. I’m totally excited when seeing the places, at its best. Our journey started from the lake view. Our walk, filled with capturing the beautiful view points. Mak & I was on that process. Others discussed about a different stories. Kodai was peaceful and less with people, as we were on off-season. It helped us a lot in enjoying the things with silence. Now the fun-filled skating, shoes with wheelers. Mak & Kee were key players. I just got it, but stagnant aside. I’m mostly not used to the risky sports. I captured few videos and one small boy with his father was rocking the show. Mak got too many hits & fall down mostly. We missed Kee’s fall. Its drizzled outside, when we ended the fun. There we had a big photo shoot with tea & snacks. Our walk continued for a while. Finally we reached the Coaker’s walk, where it got rainy. We purchased the eucalyptus oil, there the keeper, burnt our hanky’s (He struggled to prove his product’s purity). When we entered the coaker’s path, I must say, the scene was breath taking for me, as there were nothing to say there, as full of the view is completely hidden by clouds. It seemed to be the end of the world. That was also enjoyable. But people, we can see the whole madurai, palani & near by cities, from here. This statement, made me bit an upset. That’s ok! We are totally tired and reached the Coffee day, that’s Subbu’s treat, I hope! Yes! We ordered different items there. But it’s not up to the mark, we expected. Mak claimed about the quality to the shop keepers (Vadivel dialogue, ‘Ivlo kovakarana iruppanu theriyama pochee’ :O) Now its time to settle for a rest, so we marched only to our room.
It got us 4-5 Pm, I hope. Again ordered for Tea and after few hours, we ordered for food, and that’s the time, when the hotel people, got a quick watch about the 107 & 109 (our room numbers :D) Especially Kee’s non-stop accomplishments on the dishes, bit shocked them. The dishes are really good with fine taste. We saw the classic comedy movie, “Ullathai Allitha”. Here we had some chats, I didn’t remember the topics. I gone for a sleep by 10 PM, that’s all I know and I woke up by 6 AM morning. This is because of the continuous walk we had the before day. It might be some 4-5 hours of walking! Huuu!
Now this day plan is for a thrilling lake, for which we got some special permission, Kurinji temple (especially for me, as I wished to see.) and few get outs. So we arranged for a cab. The climate is totally foggy with heavy rains. The fog is heavy, like throwing white powder from the sky. It looked like the view, when we open the freezer in the refrigerator (Ennama think panran ya :D), but that’s true :D. We wished to have a walk on the fog, after a hot Tea. Yes! We had and it’s a wonderful experience.
(Ithukku mela mudiyala…. Ippove kanna katudhu……… I will continue sometime later :D)

Get on your deathbed
Frightening topic, isn’t it? Yes! but that too, the part of life :)
Recently, I had a chance to read a good book “100 Ways to Motivate Yourself: Change Your Life Forever” by Steve Chandler. There he says lot many ways to motivate ourselves and lessons of life. "Get on your deathbed",this is the first way and interesting one, which he explains with an instance. Have a look! I've underlined some interesting lines.
“A number of years ago when I was working with psychotherapist Devers Branden, she put me through her "deathbed" exercise.
I was asked to clearly imagine myself lying on my own deathbed, and to fully realize the feelings connected with dying and saying good-bye. Then she asked me to mentally invite the people in my life who were important to me to visit my bedside, one at a time. As I visualized each friend and relative coming in to visit me, I had to speak to them out loud. I had to say to them what I wanted them to know as I was dying.
As I spoke to each person, I could feel my voice breaking. Somehow I couldn't help breaking down. My eyes were filled with tears. I experienced such a sense of loss. It was not my own life I was mourning; it was the love I was losing. To be more exact, it was a communication of love that had never been there.
During this difficult exercise, I really got to see how much I'd left out of my life. How many wonderful feelings I had about my children, for example, that I'd never explicitly expressed.
At the end of the exercise, I was an emotional mess. I had rarely cried that hard in my life. But when those emotions cleared, a wonderful thing happened. I was clear. I knew what was really important, and who really mattered to me. I understood for the first time what George Patton meant when he said, "Death can be more exciting than life."
From that day on I vowed not to leave anything to chance. I made up my mind never to leave anything unsaid. I wanted to live as if I might die any moment. The entire experience altered the way I've related to people ever since. And the great point of the exercise wasn't lost on me: We don't have to wait until we're actually near death to receive these benefits of being mortal. We can create the experience anytime we want.”
We don’t want to be so harsh in imagining often about death. But just to give a break from all our worries and to revive us, sure this thought will help.

When you Guffaw?
"Guffaw" is a word which, I like a most. Even I enjoy feeling it often.
Online dictionary reads the meaning like “A hearty, boisterous burst of laughter”, “To laugh heartily”. Word Thesaurus says it means Laugh, Chuckle, and Chortle & Roll with Laughter. Yes! I mean the last meaning, “Roll with Laughter”. I done it most of the time in life, mostly when I’m in my schooling, with my friends, while in Ivesia, with my sister kids and looking at some joke scenes on movies. Especially television shows like Mr.Bean, GAGS & especially our Goundamani & Senthil comedies. Really those are the moments, we lived to our self. We give up our self to those situations by feeling off from worries. Soon if we revive it, once in our lifetime, sure we will at least smile. Isn’t it?
My experience on Guffaw will happen often, as I’m a biggest consumer of laughter. My posture seems to be bit serious, but I laugh things at very soon. School days are really fun-filled for everyone. For me too, where I had a gang of people around me make situational comedies and keep me smile. But mostly about silly things and stupid chat on goings. Normal laughter is different from Guffaw. It’s something which makes you to fall down from your seating and trembles you like anything, which results in stomach pain. Even some people, used to fall on others, and beat even others. It’s a great refresher too, which makes people getting a great energy. If you have someone to make you guffaw, you should not miss them in your life-time.
Many instances, right from my school days, like play-time memories, lunch break comedies, annual day celebs, cultural shows etc., My first work place at Shrimsoft, we used to have a single window physical reporting to our Manager on each day tasks, which normally end with lots of shunts and advises. Imitations on that make a great show between our friends. And another interesting place is Ivesia, where just people always laugh and live. I got stomach pain many times while at pantries with people like San, Mujib & SJ[Shankar Jothi]. I still remember the get-together at Queensland, on the way while returning in the bus travel, almost all the people did a great dance show, especially our Manager of Operations and Human Resources. Ramki is making people dance and Chan cheated us. Time with subbu & prince made me lose my control and made me laugh. Also Keerthi’s cabin dance is a rare guffaw package. And recently even in Satyam, with people like Saravanan, Chandra & Raj, an instance, while Chandra coded a interface on browser, where the option lost its visibility after a long a running script. His expression, for that, like he solved a great problem, just made a great guffaw around.
On my personal front, occasions where all our relatives meet and make fun are really memorable. Recently on my cousin’s marriage, with fun-packed events, teasers on the bride and groom, photography session, pantry hall play between my mom and my cousin. Uhhh! I just can’t forget those memories. Also the time with my sister kid’s when our Bala kutty used to imitate like frog, lizard, parrot, etc., and has a round about, and he kicks or pinches someone if we point them. He’s just 1.5 yrs and his special about a kiss is, he will pronounce “Ummmmma” loudly, when he’s asked to kiss someone, rather putting weight on the kiss :D. Crazy!!!
Many memories, but I wrote a few, now ask this question to yourself and think of the situation for few moments? When you guffaw?

His Six Abodes around Chennai
This post is an interesting travelogue of my favorite deity Lord Muruga. He’s considered to be the god of this century[கலியுக கண் கண்ட கடவுள்]. He’s the god of Tamils and he’s powerful god for the one who believes him. There were six primary abodes in TamilNadu, that is Tirupparunkunram,Tiruchendur,Palani,Swamimalai,Tiruttani and Palamuthircholai.
But here I wanted to publish, the six prominent temples of this lord in and around Chennai, which is readily accessible to anyone stays in Chennai. I and my Mom are mad of this powerful God. He's known for his wisdom, beauty, vision etc., He's complete! What to say then!!!
I've added some travels tips mostly from my locality[Excuse for others], as I 've traveled almost all these abodes with my mom in weekends.
Vadapalani :- Its a very famous murugan temple in Chennai, and almost all people in Chennai, might 've gone once. He's the first and favorite god of mine in trouble. He's very powerful and there is a good magnetism with him. Its an ancient temple, which is been constructed 125 years ago and its now renovated and maintained very neat.
Deity Name: Swami Dhandayudhapani
How to Get there: From Chrompet, all MTC 70 series targets Vadapalani
Kundrathur:- Its another famous Murugan temple, near Pallavaram. Its also an ancient temple, which is built by King Kulothunga Chola-II. Here the specialty is the lord faces the North direction, where normally the statue faces Eastern direction.
Deity Name: Swami Subramaniar
How to Get there: From Chrompet, all buses to Poonamallee[MTC No.66] and Porur, goes via Kundrathur
Vallakottai :- Its also an ancient shrine of Lord Muruga, but very small village near Tambaram, which is away from Chennai. Interesting stories running about, how this temple has been formed. Another speciality is this temple's statue of Muruga, is the largest in height[5.7 feet] in India.
Deity Name: Swami Subramaniar
How to Get there: From Chrompet, there is no direct buses, but from Tambaram, all Sriperumbudur buses[MTC No.566,55] goes via Vallakottai.
Thiruporur:- Its also an very ancient and important temple of Lord Muruga, as its historically connected with other abodes like Thiruchendur and Thiruparamgundram. Its the place Lord Muruga leaded an war against the evils. Its situated near Mahabalipuram.
Deity Name: Swami Kandswamy
How to Get there: From Chrompet, we need to go to Sholinganallur and catch buses to Thiruporur[MTC No.568] or we can go to guindy and have buses to Kelambakkam[570] which goes via this temple
Thiruthani:- Even its an one among the main six abodes, its very near to Chennai and a accessible one. I'm yet to go to this temple and soon it will happen. Even its a powerful shrine as it's one of the prominent abodes of Lord Muruga.
Deity Name: Swami Thanikesan or Thanikaivel
How to Get there: From Chrompet, we need to have a transit journey to Koyambedu and need to take a bus to Thiruthani. All buses to Thirupathi are reachable
Kumaran Kundram:- Its a very small temple of Lord Muruga, which is situated in a hill. In evenings we can have a serene view of Chrompet and places around. Its a wonderful place to chill out too. Right choice to make a visit is at the evenings, when day breaks at the hill top with a nice breeze.
Deity Name: Swami Swaminathar
How to Get there: From Chrompet, all buses to Hasthinapuram[MTC No.52 series] goes by this way to Temple
