I born in a village which is very near to Kauveri river and a channel (used for irrigation). Eventhough I don’t know swimming, I like to go often to the channel and river with my grandma during weekends. Since the channel is very near than the river, We used to go to channel very often. Kauveri will be with full of people during festive times like * Aadi perukku, * Thalai aadi (aadi 1), * Chitra Powrnami and in some other tamil festivals.

Happy Maattu Pongal to me :) Friday, May 2 2008 

Today we are celebrating mattu pongal in our home. You might get surprised how we would celebrate our maattu pongal in May. But we do. hmmm. thats a sad story of me. I have a chuditar which doesn’t have a dhuppatta. So, I didn’t inaugurate it so far. Yesterday when I roam around I saw a dhuppatta which has lot of chumki’s in it and also at each ends, it has around 6-7 small salangai’s (small bells in anklets).

Chennai Parks – Children Play Tuesday, Apr 29 2008 

Chennai has lot of things to see, visit and roam around. I’m outrageous. I don’t want to sit at home always. Especially, I like to sit in chennai parks. I regularly go to independence day park whenever i got some time. Though it is good, it’s so crowded. The park will be jam packed in evenings. Children can’t play well in the park. Recently, the government have opened a park between kottum puram to nandhanam signal. I used to cross the park. But didn’t even think of sitting their since i felt the size was small and it’s typically like independence day park. But, if you go inside, the park is good. It’s in moderate size. Children can roam around well and they have seeza, thooli etc to play well. I myself enjoyed thooli in that park after a looooooooooooong time. :)

When you get some time, visit that park. You’ll feel good with the children around. :)

Happy visit!!

Please Take Care of Your Kids! Avoid Ball Pits Saturday, Apr 5 2008 

Please read the below message. Though it’s lengthy, it’s a worth of reading.

Hi. My name is Lauren Archer, my son Kevin and I lived in Melbourne, Australia.
On October 2nd, 1999 I took my only son to McDonald’s for his 3rd birthday.

After he finished lunch, I allowed him to play in the ball pit. When he started whining later on, I asked him what was wrong, he pointed to the back of his pull-up and simply said “Mommy, it hurts.” I couldn’t find anything wrong with him at that time. I bathed him when we got home, and it was at that point when I found a welt on his left buttock.

A Chennai Family Restaurant – “Drive In” Wednesday, Mar 19 2008 

Drive In at Cathedral road is my favorite place. You don’t see a place like this within the center of the city. I’m going to “drive in” for about 2 months now. But I go very often nowadays. May be, once a week (which is very often to me ;) ). My cousin used to tell me that drive in at cathedral road is a nice place, you don’t see a place like that in chennai and more and more. One fine day, we went there for our dinner. My god!! Didn’t expect such a nice place in the heart of the city. Lot of trees, kids playing outdoor games and ofcourse nice breathe. It’s a nice place to spend some time with your friends and family with nice food.
