Down memory lane(inspired by Sunkan!)

Quite realistic post seen from our dear Sri sir's desk,

The knowledge, wisdom and humor is well known for Triplicane, Mylopore families.

All those rumblings of Typical middle class Triplicane household scenes well drafted with creative lines.
The plight of innocent husbands to balance their better halves whims and fancies are the common events.
It should be noted that those husbands are not to be taken as un capable of mastering over their wife's, but out of humanity to oblige and to give them the solace, they behave like that.
These people are real genius in their respective fields which is to be noted.

As I spent some years at Big Street Bachelors quarters,Triplicane and seen many families in the neighbourhood and experianced those enthusitic people over the incidents happening around them.

All our Sri Sir's articles are a delight to read and thanks for the memoirs.

Sri,

Is my blog about daughters in the top ten ? wow, i did not know it.And glad u liked it.

I have written one on Mumbai and posted yesterday.It may not be to yr taste, a bit naughty perhaps,so if u dont post a comment, fine with me.It did not have much response.I guess they like sentimental blogs more here,so will post only those .

I have around 400 blogs written,so will choose that taste and post here, leaving out the other ones.So as u can Say Sri, i have a lot of stock in the archives :-D

Regards.kamal

 

Dear Sri,

This was a good one.... Fortunately or unfortunately, I lived in one such house in Villivakkam... Though it is not 10 families it had four families....

We used to listen to vivithbarathi night songs and the movie vimarsanam from neighbours house which has the radio in the compound... At dinner times he will ask us to promptly either leave or join for dinner... So we promptly leave and stand outside the house and listen... Crazy....

Go to another neighbours house for sunday movies in DD paying 10 paise...

My mom comparing the cost of the vegetables i buy and my neighbour uncle buys from the market... If i purchased at 5 paise additional cost... I am finished for that day... there are times when my mom asked me to return the vegetables and bring the money back.....hahahaha...

The Landlord being a spinster, she used to shout at us and teach us manners... I always go bang at her door and run away.....

Enjoyed a lot....

With the Flat systems coming in we loose on all these things.... Today I tried to go and see that house.... It was totally demolished and a bit flat is there....

Dear Sri sir,

Not just in your good old days even in my childhood till I was 10 or probably 11, we never had a TV at home. It was a luxury we used to enjoy when we come to our Grandparent's house in Chennai. Wow both me and my brother used to keep looking at the clock and tyring to check up the time when the programs will start. It started at 5.30pm and the first one will be a children's program. And as it was holidays we were allowed to watch TV till we are sleepy and you know what we even watch the Vayalum Vazhvum also which used to come at 7 pm every night. Though my grandparents were living in Adayar and not in Triplicane. But my mother who lived in Mylapore till she got married keeps rambling all about her childhood days and so is my father who lived in so many places all through his childhood as my paternal grandfather was a govt school headmaster.

But Sri sir, how were you able to keep on for 3 days without eating. Please tell me the secret. Dont say that it was in your childhood. But still it is worth listening too.

My parents live in a place called Perungalathur, where the standard motors factory was located and where now the Shriram Properties are coming up in a big scale, which is still a middle class locality. Though there were only a few people in that place and almost all of us knew each other and their brothers and sisters by name gone were the days. I am hardly able to recognise one single person as the place have become a town from village.

Changes have taken place in a large extent, though still there are my good old friends who recognise me and whom I could recognise.

Thanks for your memoirs and thanks for kindling us to go back in our memory lane. As Kamalji said expecting episode 2 soon:mrgreen: .

 

Dear Sri sir,

I too studied for one year in 6th std at Hindu High School,and we were staying at kennet lane, Triplicane and there after my yearly vacations to spend time with my uncle who was staying ( opp. Hindu High School ) Mansion, during that time the Associated Editor of Nakkeran Mr. Kamaraj was staying. Those days morning tiffin at Ratna Cafe, Afternoon at Big street Iyer mess lunch, night dinner at Ratna cafe again like that years went on for my vacations.

I used to visit my fathers cousin Mr.Gurumurthy Chartered accountant ( Indian Express columnist ) at Mylapore.

It is refreshing thoughts when ever we visit Triplicane, evening walk at Marina Beach , periodical visits to Kabalishwar kovil Mylapore etc.,

Keep writing my dear Sri sir.
