Solar eclipse Dec 26 2019

 Today had an opportunity to witness a part of annular solar eclipse. As it was around 9:00 am the sky was growing dark just like in dusk. I didn't have polarized sunglasses but had chance to see with X ray films but yesterday video cautioned me not to do so.. But out of curiosity, as i was walking towards my superior's office ( where i made a purpose visit to go out in sun ), i looked into a puddle of water stagnant on the floor to see sun's reflection in it. Wow! Lifetime feast! Sun in the shape of a crescent!!But the same fear made me to take off my eyes from it. Then i went and took a out patient slip used in dot matrix printer with holes on sides and when I made the sun shadow to fall through the holes on sides another spectacular site, an array of semilunar sun!! A patient who passed by me was also able to appreciate ! If i remember well i think we had an experience some years back on a Diwali day, when appa tried to show me and Senthil with a home made pin hole camera made with a cracker box cover.. Senthil may remember that year I think!

Dear friends, this blog is for those interested in Puranas.. I mean புராண கதைகள். If you feel religious, please feel free to ignore this blog.. When my husband was transferred and posted in Thiruvarur, I didn't even know how to reach there. The first time when we went there to look for a rental house for his stay, the beautiful Kamalalaya tank welcomed us.  As it was during pongal holidays, some water sports competitions were held there. Initially thought that for that occasion, they have filled the tank with water but later came to know that it is a perennial water body! May be earlier days the tank would have been filled with lotus and hence the name. Even at present we could sight many small small ponds with lotus when we went in search of rental house! At first visit we couldn't go inside the temple as it was closed in the afternoon. During our next visit we had the blessing to go inside the temple. Just as you all, before going there googled about t...

Moolakarai to Madurai

Image
Athichanallur Ancient human settlements were along river banks and in coastal region. Probably our ancestors were from Athichanallur settlements along side of river thamirabarani.  In earlier days korkai was one of the capital of Pandya Kingdom and a port city known for its overseas trading. When I searched for the present day korkai on map it is situated well within the land. wondering how it could be a port city during the Pandya Kingdom, surfing the internet I came to know that sea has receaded and due to the geological changes korkai has come well within the land. once it has been a coastal town and the river thamirabarani ended at a place near Thoothukudi into the bay of Bengal and not the present day punnakayal. To my knowledge our ancestors are from moolakarai a small village near Tiruchendur, not so far away from korkai! May be in ancient times Moolakarai and korkai were on either banks of river thamirabarani! This is the story of my forefathers who have migrated from moola...
