My Musings

We two went to Ooty and Coimbatore from Apr 27th to May 2nd for SATISH marriage with APARNAH SREE. We left by the 07:15 AM Shatabdi express from Chennai. Sowmya also came with us. We took an OLA cab to the station. The train reached CBE by 2-15 PM and we took another OLA cab to வெள்ளைக்கிணறு பிரிவு where Gopalan came and took us in car to his home.

Those days Sundaresan was in Coimbatore, Indira was there; but later both of them shifted. One gentleman Mr Louduraj (God Bless him) was looking after the house, but lately he became indifferent, perhaps due to his old age. We decided to sell off the land+house. Sugavanam too has a 40 x 60 feet land, adjacent to ours, and he joined in our sell-off plan. We two couldn't get a suitable customer for the past 1 1/2 years, but our search continued.
