ARUN shifts to Bangalore - March 2013 an

ARUN SHIFTS TO BANGALORE.

Arun got a job at Bangalore and he joined there on 1st August 2012. He left Gayathri, Sowmya , and Sriram at Padur, Chennai itself for the completion of the Academic year 2012-13

Sowmya and Sriram wrote the entrance exam at Vag devi school Bangalore on 15 Dec 2012; Sowmya was successful but Sriram is to write again in Jan 2013. He wrote on 19 Jan 2013 and got admission. Arun paid 41900 for Sowmya and 41500 for Sriram on 26 Jan 2013. Thus the School admission formalities were successfully completed.

He decided to shift to Bangalore by end-March and he started his preparations accordingly. He finalised a house (2nd floor) at Marathahalli, Bangalore by 1st week of March. Rent Rs 13000.00 and advance Rs 70000. He paid the advance and did the paal kaaychi kudiththal on 13 March.

We went to Padur on 2 March and stayed there for 6 days. His home articles were packed on 28 March (we two went there). The packers (ICM Ltd) were tocome by 11 AM but they came at 3-15PM. Packing was over by 8-45PM and the truck left Padur then. Rs 15240.00 for the transporting. Arvind and Aditi also came by 7PM and Krithika had prepared and sent meals for all of us.

The truck reached Bangalore by 11 AM on 29 March and were unpacked and arranged by GBS, Mami, and Arun. Arun came to Chennai on 29 March (friday) and vacated his Padur house and came here with Gayathri, Sowmya, Sriram (to our house) on 29 March.

On 30 March (saturday) they all left at 1100 hours in Hyundai Santro car, after meals here. Both I and Vijaya felt a vacuum in their going (we wept !). They reached Marathahalli by 6-40 PM the same evening (30-3-2013).

We had stayed with Arun - Gayathri since Dec 2001(11 years 3 months) in Chennai and with the children Sowmya (2006) and Sriram (2008). We could not digest their going to Bangalore, we feel depressed and we wept. But that is life ...

Anna Centenary Library, Kotturpuram

ANNA CENTENARY LIBARARY (அண்ணா நூற்றாண்டு நூலகம்) is a newly established State Library of Tamilnadu. It was declared open on 15th Sept 2010. Located in Kotturpuram, Chennai. This last Sunday, 1st May 2011, we hit upon the idea - we will go and see this library. No serious reason, but a sudden whiff of fancy. Vijaya, her old classmate and friend Mrs Prema, and I left house at 3-30PM. A bus upto Madhya Kailash, and an auto thereon, left us at the gates of this huge, beautiful building at 4 PM. From the outside, it was immensely impressive and imposing - maybe of 9 or 10 floors, exquisitely constructed. As we walked the lawns to reach the Main Entrance, the interest in us was bubbling. (Caution: Handbags, Cameras are strictly prohibited. Even waterbottles are not allowed inside the halls.) There is a 5-feet bronze statue of Mr CN Annadurai, in whose name and honour this library is built. This is the Tamilnadu Chief minister Mr M Karunanidhi's pet project and he, as usual, has ov
