Eppadiyo post panniten

It has almost been a month i ve blogged. I didnt even read any other blogs. reason being my hectic work and that i didnt get any topic, feelin that i ve cribbed more than enough on reservations, terrorism, bomb blasts etc. i cudnt get a topic. I was affected with BLOG-UN-GUNIYA(my own term for lack of topics to blog about). Finally am out of it and successfully got something to blog about.
I was on a 2 day trip to Paranur, a village near villupuram. This is a place where Sri Krishna Premi Swamigal alias Sri Anna conducts the annual festival for Krishna Jeyanthi with Bhajans and rituals. I was desperate that i have to get out of this city,so i joined my parents. The village was so small that it had a couple of streets and some houses sans electricity. It has a temple built by Sri Anna himself and the street had some veda patashaalas. The experience was different, especially the bhajans were great. Being a great devotee of music, the varying tempo and beats of bhajans mesmerised me. I realised that music has energy the Nth time in my life. There was abishekam, aaradhanai etc. The next day i witnessed a different function in which Sri Anna threw vennai on all of his devotees while dancing. Every oe of the devotees were enthusistic that they didnt mind their digi cams,handy cams, honda cities being drenched with vennai.Learned that it was the Nandhothsavam.It was nice and fun. Some pics of the trip.







Travelled thru' the NH to Villupuram after 2 years, was amazed to see that the road is maintained well and comparable to international standards. Kudos to NHAI.
