Spritual Trip to Karaikudi

Not able to tolerate the pestering of Bala, four of the wylarians started for Heritage trip to Karaikudi, about an year back.

The agenda :
(1) To visit all the Nagarathar sivan koil in Chettinad
(2) To visit Chettinad bunglow's which are open to public

Due to preoccupation, I reached karaikudi one day earlier. Rtn.Ravee, Rtn.Rajkumar and Rtn.Bala reached one hour behind schedule at karaikudi. Ofcourse it was a test drive of Bala's new Zen Car.

Had we started by 9am, it would have been comfortable to see all the six nagara koil's. But no other option. I didnot have the patience to take bala again on another day for the missed temples. So, took the driving seat and we started by 10.15am. It was more like a reklar race, as we raced through and atlast reached the target - visited all the six temples at one shot. Beyond that, when the temples were closed in afternoon, we managed to visit three chettinad bunglow's : MSM Bunglow, Dr.Alagappachettiar Bunglow and Athangudi Bunglow.

Engineer Rajkumar was very busy assessing, valuing, exploring and admiring the architecture and granites. Happiness in Bala's face was quiet visible.

Inspite of the hectic schedule, all of us enjoyed the trip. No doubt it was a Spritual Trip.

  1. Appreciate your punchy write up. You drove my Estilo like a Paris/Dakar rally driver. After our successful trip you dropped yourself at home and immediately after she[Estilo] cried all through the night!!!. It was difficult for me to console her and at last I some how managed. But whatever said and done the one day spiritual trip was a memorable one. I liked it very much. Are you ready for another trip like this Rams????
