ARUN shifted House

ARUN and his family lived in Shastrinagar, Adyar, on the 3rd floor since last 18 months. We found it difficult to climb the three floors. Gayathri's parents and other relatives also found it difficult to climb.

We were looking a for a I floor or Ground floor house for them. During July 2015, Meera mami told us about a house in Shanti Avenue, Radhakrishnan Nagar. On 21 July we two were shown the house. Two bedrooms, a large hall, two bathrooms, kitchen. Good house. Ground floor. Shanti Avenue is a dead-end road, so no traffic. We liked the house and informed Arun. They came and saw the house next day, on 22nd July. They too liked it. Rent is 17K + 1 K as maintenance.

After the month of Aadi was over, Arun-Gayathri performed the Paal kaaichi kudiththal function on Friday the 21st August 2015. We two, Krithika, Aditi, and Arjun also went. Vijaya performed it.

On 26th Aug Wednesday, they shifted their luggage etc to the new house. From that night, they occupied the new house.

A good GF house, and very near (less than 10 mins walk for us) to us.

God bless Arun, Gaythri, and their children.

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
