Saree Shopping Spree - part 1

As a bride ever awaited moment in my life , the shopping for the right choice of saree. Damn ! never thought it would be this difficult when you are spoilt with the colours. My mind went bizarre as we went up and down not one shop but few.

I did my shopping in Chennai. It isn't a must to do shopping in India, but every Hindu bride would have a dream to get her best from India especially when you are not from India. Same goes to me, as a bride I wanted to get mine too from this land of my ancestor's. The land that spoils you with all its choices.

Alright, shopping starts from the first shop. Few sarees picked, checked on the quality, the material for purity in silk, the design if it's odd or perfect. Randomly colours picked but not to the expectation.

Disappointments..!!!

We were not going to all the available shops to shop for the only ONE. We finalized the best 5 five and than checked them out, but this itself was making me go bonkers until I had a headache.

Next shop, damn...everything looks too old and lack in fashion not to my likings.

Then the 3rd shop and the 4th...phewwwww..!!!! now itself my legs were trembling in tiredness. Still I have not found the right one. I can take this at all, this is ridiculous, gave up for the day .

The Train and An Elephant Story

Image
If you are hailing from the 3rd biggest town in Perak state known as Teluk Intan (Teluk Anson or Teluk Mak Intan, will surely know the story of this Train and the elephant. I remember growing in this town which has a train station which not there anymore. I do remember when the traffic is halted to the traffic when a train pass by. When I was 6 years (987), I went on the train ride up Tapah. Now the nearest train station would be either Tapah or Bidor. I guess it was closed down in 1989. The remains of the station buidling has been renovated and now being used by the driving school. The tracks are missing, but i doubt many are left. I remember the times when I cycled to school (1998) through a short route which crosses the old train tracks which are not jst covered with scrubs and bushes.But now I guess those tracks would be completly dismantled off by people as you can get good money from the metal or iron if you trade in at the junkyard. But the gate is still there, preserved t

A Proud Tamizhan !!

People tend to believe in science then realistic of pre historic findings. Why these were not applied when research was done. There are many hidden clues within India as i believe all the while. What about the herbal statue of Murugan in Palani that was made by the saint Bogar which contained great medicinal values. But it was slowly being sold to the world who is researching the value of hidden secrets. We the tamizhan's are the owners of our culture, legends and language. If we start digging we would fine a lot of surprises that we would not be able to imagine as it all started from 20000 years ago by the Tamizhan and English only came 800 years ago and which stands the top. Similar to apes which were existing far before the human’s and apes are the oldest living beings. What is valued is neglection? Why letting strangers to take hold of what belongs to us. Why are we selling ourselves make our money. Not knowing the value of what we are holding. If you start to research eve
