sudhanandham

Sudhanandham, how many of the persons from Amaravathipudur knows him? I have forgotten the year we lost him, but long back perhaps 40 years back.
He was a motherless child, a good boy with a dad who wanted a perfect boy, perfect means the perfect.
His dad kept quite lot of toys, were imported from Singapore and we all played but not Sudhanandham as he killed himself too early.
At latterstage I came accross Andal Pasurams and her life and the devotion to God. I learnt that she was having the habit of wearing the flowers before offer to God and be sure the right flower was offered to the God. So she was called, சூடி கொட்டுத்த சுடர் கொடி.
But Sudhanandham, still I feel the blows what you got from your dad as you smelled the flowers you brought to the temple.............. those beatings................................
வேல் அண்ணனே , உங்களை மன்னிக்க முடியுமா ?

gurukulam

Gurukulam was the heart of this village, Amaravathipudur.
A huge compound was encomposed this Gurukulam. It was also called SCGR High School.
As the school is living for many decades, the guys who studied in this school should be spreading their wings all around the world.
It was a beauty that this school was tucked in to this village!
Once my dad told me that he was teaching in this school from Karaikudi and used to visit this place for the construction of this school, in early 1920s.
why they built in Amaravathipudur?
In 1920s Karaikudi could easily give margin for this school.
May be, Alagappa Chettiar made the kingdoom in Karaikudi and Subramania Chettiar might have wanted a separate place to grow!
And you should know, this is a residential school!
But girls can join as days schooler and that girl should have the iron will to with stand the Headmaster, Thiruvikraman, who had a legendry treatment for girls.
I plan to write
  • Valliaappanan
  • kanakupillai Chockalingam
  • Iyya, manager iyya, suriamandai,( and my DAD)
  • Meelur iyya
  • Thirivikraman
  • Suppan
  • Mavati Mahalingam
  • Karuppan
  • Vaiandi
  • KRSG
  • Aruldass
  • Girlsroom
  • Toilet
  • Assembly
  • Garden
  • VPsir
  • and many

why this name?

why this name?
I have born in this village, Amaravathipudur. There ends all. I was moved out from this place. I am not able to imagine that what made my dad to live seventy plus years and move away to Thanjavur.
Recently I asked my friend about buy back our house, the compound. When I learnt that I need to fork out 50 00000, fifty lakhs Indian Rupees to do that, my heart broke.
I am finding very least, almost no presence of this village in the web world.
I am going to write a lot about this village, its people, places and all to my ability.
I am dreaming to visit this place and up load, huge photes, God will.
Let me start, wish many to join.
