It was a wonderful lunch with Swami & Deepak… The occasion can’t be better as we had a productive business chat, delicious lunch at my favourite Hotel & a nice opportunity to make some clicks;
My favourite iPhone unplugged clicks…
A big big thanks to him for this pose…
Just shared this picture of Thirumala Naicker Mahal in FB about its beauty and how development has screwed its beauty now…
Immediately got a comment from my friend;
I read in an article that British government offered people that “whoever demolishes the statue or some building, those places belong to them.” By Hearing this, Our ancestors demolished most of them around madurai.
He even shared this link on history behind perumal maistry street… Here is a small synopsis from the article;
Then Madurai Collector John Blackburn wanted to demolish the fort walls around the Meenakshi Amman temple for the development of the city. He realised that it would cost a sizable fortune of the government to dismantle the thick walls of the fort. Besides, the channels adjoining the fort had crocodiles to prevent anyone to reach the fort by crossing the water.
“When the British rulers realised that it was not possible to demolish the fort and fill the huge channel with soil, they decided to seek public participation. To lure the public, the collector announced that people can demolish the fort wall and fill the channel to become owners of the land. People from several villages gathered and completed the work…
Feeling bad to know how Britishers enslaved us and how they used us in destroying our own heritage :(…
It was a pleasant drive to Madurai carrying Cogzidel Day gifts… Once reaching Madurai it was nice to relax at my new home, listening to the humming of peacock and watching the lust green view of western ghats :)…
Then had a nice 1 hour drive and discussion with Swami… Continued by Commanders meeting & dinner at Hotel Heritage, Kochadai… Then again back to home and had a nice four hour sleep…
Got up early the next day to receive my wife and bang she called from the entrance of my Apartment… Picked her up and went out for tea on a road side hotel… Thrilled that my wife liked something I got her :)…
Then it was time to get ready and went straight down to Hotel Fortune Pandian for Cogzidel Day… Man what a day it was and am going to carry the hangover for couple of more days… Thanks to all Cogzians for making my day… The day went till 10.30 PM with some time for meeting friends, some business discussions and some official meeting after the event…
The day Next also started early… Had to full fill an obligation to god which was long pending since my marriage… So, it was a 60 KM drive from Madurai to a temple called Thirukoshtiyur…
Came back home by noon and spent some time with my wife… It was a gifted opportunity which we never got since our marriage ;)… This visit to Madurai has surpassed all my previous ones… Over all it was a Heart Filled trip which will live in my memory forever…
Cogzidel Day is one of the special day which lives close to my heart… This day brings a lot of nostalgic memories and heals the pain underwent all these years… Also being home ridden for a long time, I was longing for this day for a while…
Finally I reached a day before the D-Day and had a ball of a time… Here is a small synopsis of the day… Apologise for the poor quality of some images… I’m still sharing them to show my respect to those folks…
Deepak starts with the welcome note…
Swami giving final instructions…
Saw a Thiyagaraja Bhagavadar in him… He could sing, dance and act :)…
Our angels entertained us with their mimicry…
These folks entertained us with their steps…
She stunned everyone with her poetry…
Skit got us a new find… Yep we found a heroine Trisha….. Overall it was a good team effort and my kudos to Director Saravanan…
Mrs.BOSS enjoying the show…
For the first time I drove to Madurai a distance of 420 KM from Chennai… Purpose of the visit is to attend Cogzidel Day, to carry some systems & gifts…
Car was loaded with boxes and my entire rear view got blocked… Still risked and continued my drive with Ravi as navigator…
Couldn’t overtake or accelerate because of blocked rear view… Then reached Melmaruvathur and had breakfast at Anandaas….
Again it was a slow drive and we took a break before Trichy at Chakra Milk Parlour… After crossing Trichy, it was a pleasant drive with not much traffic…
Finally reached Madurai by afternoon and the Highlight of the trip was Ravi… It was the first time Ravi travelled 400+ KM without sleeping :)…

After a hectic official trip to Madurai it was some time to rejoice… So, decided to goto Kumily at a very Last minute… So, we decided to start by 7 in the morning… Since I had lot of work to be complete I got 2 CD’s and watched Band Baaja Bharat & Last GodFather movie and finished writing 2 blogs… Read some articles and washed my cloths…
By the time I finished all the work it was 6 in the morning and I gave a wake up call to my friend and took my bath… Then we all started by 7.30 AM and we started to drive straight to Kumily with s pit stop for BreakFast…
We stopped at Usilampatti in our favorite shop for breakfast… Then we had a small divine stop near the ayyanar temple en route to Theni… We drove non stop to Kumily and landed at Thekkady at the entrance of Periyar WildLife Sanctuary… On the entrance we were told that boating was full for the day… It was very unfortunate that I’ve been here twice and was unable to go for a boat ride both the occassion…
A guy in the entrance asked if we wanted to go for an elephant safari and we thought it would be better we did something… He took us a place which was a small farm where there were 8 elephants… We were charged Rs.300/- per person… It was a small 20 minute ride inside the farm…
Then we went inside tiger reserve forest until the lake and we took some snaps… Then it was time to watch some pretty girls… Also the climate was very pleasant… It was neither hot nor raining like it was in Tamil Nadu… Then we went to a canteen inside the park… We had some short bite and we proceeded back…
From there we went to Kattapana my favorate spot… Then it was time for some toddy and this time we went to a different toddy shot… Had toddy and then returned proceeded back to Madurai by 3 o clock… We reached madurai by 5 PM…
Then after completing my remaining meetings in office and writing this blog… I packed my bags back to Chennai… Overall it was a heart filling week at work and closing it with some great experience…
Must thank my friends Satheesh & Krishore for taking me to this exotic resort Kadambavanam which is located 25 KM from Madurai on natham road…
First of all kudos to the wonderful climate where in tiny hills were covered by mist which otherwise would be hot during summer…
It was wonderful scenic view of hills and villages… Resort has an ayyanar temple with lot other goda and navagraha… It was like a garden temple surrounded by lawns..
It had a auditorium which could accomidate some 100 + people… Also rooms were neat and economical….
Then went to the restaurent which had local villagers who didnt have an hotel management degree to cater… But their hospitality was far superior… Also the food was good and also was the bill… I’ve shelled out 4 times of what i paid in Chennai resorts…
Since we went on a weekday there was no buffet and cultural events… But i was told weekends has events like folk dance, parrot astrology, bharadanatiyam and many more traditional events…
After our lunch we climbed a tiny hill right on the restaurent… We were told food would be served on the hills too…
For those of you in Madurai or visiting madurai please dont miss the spot…
