Reminiscence !

True to the blog title "Reminiscence". When I was looking at these pictures, I was really transported back to those good days.

My friends at Bhatia Gardens, Chennai. on my left is Lalit and Anand (Cousins). We used to have great fun and enjoyed the vacations to the fullest.

We generally played cricket in the evening and during the day we played either tennis, badminton, foot ball or even hide and seek. Forgot, we used to also go cycling into the Manapakkam village and also sit on the compound walls of Chennai Airport.

Me with Anandettan's BSA SLR cycle. We were staying at house # 7, 4th Cross Street, Indira Nagar, Adayar.

It was an independant house with lots of plants and trees. When I was in 3rd standard, Achan bought for me a 'Hamilton' cycle. I cried for 2 full days and then Anandettan had brought in the cycle to the house.

I had a great deal of fun in that, as I used to go for cycling in that with school friends. My friends and me used to sit near actor Sharath's house in Adayar. He had a travel agency by the name of FlySun travels, next to Achan's hardware shop 'Allied Distributors'.

This picture was taken, during Achan's 60th birthday celebrations. Apart from my immediate family members, Vasanthi chittamma, Ammini velliamma (in front of Anandettan, she is the only elder person to Achan in his family), Kannan chetta, Baby chittamma, Kizhikode velliamma and Shantha chittamma.

We had been on a pilgrimage to many historical temples in Tamil nadu and this ceremony was held at the most famous temple, renouned for 60th birthday celebrations. (I do not know the name of temple, will post it after I get em)

At the Bhatia Garden house, Think I was still studying in school, when the picture was taken.

Picture, taken from Adayar house. The curtain behind us, leads to the bedroom where I used to sleep and it also had the Swamy photo's.

My brothers and me were all studying in school then.

My Amma looks very beautiful in this picture and believe me, even now she looks really beautiful.
