Savithri vacates the Hosur house and shifts to Chennai

Savithri vacated her own house at Hosur and shifted to a new, more spacious, rented house on 27 November 2014. Vijaya and I went to Hosur to help Savithri in arranging the new house and allied works. Read here about the new house and photos.

During the late 2015 and early 2016, Savithri fell ill and had to be treated at Chennai; so she shifted to Chennai by Nov 2015. The house was just locked up, unused.

By March - April 2016, she decided that she will not be returning to Hosur, taking her health conditions. She decided to vacate the house. She and Ramesh went to Hosur on 1st May 2016 and vacated the house. Disposed / discarded some items, took away some items to Chennai. Final shifting on Tuesday, the 3rd May 2016.

She lived in this house from 27-11-2014.

A good and comfortable house.

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...
