After learning the Namachivaya Padhigam Sottrunai Vedhiyan, from my Guru Smt Shyamala Krishnadas, I started researching more about the story behind this Thevaram and discovered that Cuddalore/Panruti area had some fascinating places which cannot be missed. Thirupathiripuliyur was our first stop in this temple trip. (August 2022) We had booked a room at the Arcot...
Most of us know all about Pongal, why it is celebrated and how it is celebrated, but did you know that the rituals are very different in each family? There are differences (some major) in how my Mom celebrates as well as how we (in my Pugundha veedu) celebrate…thought will document here what all we do…my husband’s family hails from Kalkulam, a little hamlet near...
We drove into Thiruvarur at around 10 AM. Had booked a room at Hotel Selvies, (Mob:8489101091) in the heart of Thiruvarur. A decent hotel with great food. Since we wanted to visit the Thyagaraja temple for the famous Sayarakshka pooja which will commence at around 5 pm, we decided to visit a few other famous temples around Thiruvarur in the forenoon. We chose...
The Birth Place of Nambi Andar Nambi- Saivite Saint Covid is not officially over but we decided to take a risk by planning a much awaited long pending road trip. The lure of glorious temples not yet visited outweighed the risk of falling ill.After all we are twice vaccinated! And we promised ourselves that the mask will always be on! Had heard about the Polla...
All the planning was done, the tickets were booked and accommodation was arranged. We were a group of 15 people from Chennai, all set to participate in the Thyagaraja Aradhana – 2013.

We created History – The making of the first ever Digital Women Economic Forum. July 25th and 26th 2020. So many experiences these power packed 2.5 months! It was on the D Day I decided to document the details so that these memories are recorded. Might be useful for someone, someday! A description of the preparations, the event and post event. One week has gone by...
I woke up a little late that day. I expected Amma to shout on top of her voice, “Skanda…Get ready…It’s getting late…” The house is always hyper with frenetic activity early in the morning. But today it’s all calm! Whats up? It’s not Sunday too. I walked into the kitchen to find amma humming my favourite song...
Top4 Call Drivers is the company I use for travelling within the city. It was a distressing moment when I received a call from Mr Ravi, who said that he has driven me around the city and he along with 15 families are on the brink of starvation. “Madam, please Madam, please help us” he implored. Due to the lockdown, acting drivers or Call drivers as well...
When 2020 dawned, we had just finished our Kumbakonam koil trip which like any other koil trip brought in a sense of fulfilment. Then it was New Year and everyone, esp the run of the mill astrologers were talking about how wonderful this decade is going to be compared to the decade which went by. For us 2019 was a milestone year as Senthil turned 60 and the second...
Modiji as expected has extended the lockdown till May 3rd. Everybody thought it might be till April 30th but 3rd May it is.
