    Re: How many IL'ites are from Tirunelveli??

    Hi Hema,

    My native is basically Thoothukudi...but never been there...my parents settled in Chennai long before my birth....After rolling to different places, came back to Chennai...
    And my DH is from Tenkasi...about 60 Kms from Tirunelveli..Our home there is just about 4-5 kms from the courtallam falls.

    So, I think I sort of fit in this thread....because it happens to be in that district no..

    Anyway thanx for starting this....wish to see many more here.

    Dear Booma

    Nice to see you in tirulveli zone. Actually my native is a village in Tirunelveli (Meynanapuram). But i've never seen that place because my dad settled in madurai and we used to say our native is madurai and now my parents are in chennai.

    Now am settled in Tirunelveli. How u know? My Husband is here...

    So came back to native after 30 years. Hope you also will get time to visit your native

    Hema

    Hi Hema...
    what I love there? Love to have lots of halwa there....Big Laugh...

    By the way, I like the climate in Tenkasi...You must be aware that the season has set there in courtallam...must be very windy there.....I like the light drizzle which will last for the 3 months...

    Where are you in Tirunelveli...I am familiar with the place...I guess your DH is a dentist.Am I right....? looking forward to hear from you about your area.

    bye

    Hi Hema,
    My Parents were too from Tirunelveli even though they moved long back to madurai.
    We visit T"Veli regularly for Kula Deivam Temple every year which is in Sindupoondurai and Thachanallur
    My Inlaws family are also based out of Tirunelveli (Alwarkurichi).
    Even now i have many relatives at tirunelveli and tuticorin.I also visit Tiruchendur quiet often and Murugan is my favourite God.
    Nice to hear that u are in Tirunelveli now.


    With regards,

    Hi Hema

    Though I was born in madurai, I love Tvl since I spent 5 years of my college life there.(GSMC, Palai). I like the temples there, the old bookshops under the paalam, cinema theaters, Arasan Icecreams, aaryas' dosais, Iruttukkadai Halwa... and not to mention RMKV and Pothys during Aadi thallupadi! I like the Tvl Thamizh than the madurai tamizh since it is the Tamizh spoken by my mom and her side relatives who belong to villages near Tenkasi. I could recognise the Tvl slang spoken even in Singapore and personally I feel that the people there are more compassionate than anywhere in TamilNadu.
    I always tell my hubby that I want to settle in Tvl(though he has never been there!). One of the main reasons being my best friend is settled in Papanasam.

    Hmm..Yet again a nostalgic thread! Thanks for starting this thread Hema!

    Please can you consider counting me as Tirunelvelian tooBow. (Your name name sounds very familiar. are you a relative to PrimRose Gladston from Tuticorin?)
