Enjoyyy! :)<BR/><BR/>@subs...<BR/>ha ha..

It brought me the nostalgic memories of my childhood in my grandparent's house in our native village. True, its real irony - we were much happy 10-15 years back than we are now..I like the way you write, anybody can sensitize with you..Kasi Alagappanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15194247989758038763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19021808.post-66598523087851234162008-12-26T08:48:00.000-08:002008-12-26T08:48:00.000-08:00vichu.. agree with ajai.. Totally malgudi days-ish.. Its like Swami is reminiscing about the past.. touching man.. I think all of us had a rural house that grandparents made for us. I dont know how all that just vanished.. But I guess its bound to happen.. We would create some different experiences and subsequent memories for our kids and grandkids, those that they'l blog about as the best childhood memories and wonder where all those innocent days went off..deepthihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01229904459693113396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19021808.post-12584560113242841972008-12-26T05:57:00.000-08:002008-12-26T05:57:00.000-08:00It seemed like a diary entry and very nostalgic.

Hmmm.. Can imagine the small town feel you too must have relished..<BR/>Do you still go there?<BR/><BR/>@ravi..<BR/>Very true.. Even the same place does look different with time even if nothin actually chnges physically.. Something to do with our mental associations..<BR/>And 'haunting' is the word alright :D interesting observation..<BR/><BR/>@divya.b..<BR/>Hmmm.. Can understand.. You are welcome to visit TPT the next I myself go!<BR/>But what abt your 4th grandparent?

And visiting a place, attached with so many good memoirs, after a long long time makes the same place seem nice but a bit haunting - isnt it? Its like an oxymoron.Ravihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09839374870799975670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19021808.post-68420799564608544292008-12-22T01:47:00.000-08:002008-12-22T01:47:00.000-08:00Very nostalgic.Could associate myself with every bit of it.Had similar experiences but deep down south in Nagercoil.Shekshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07398753380257397833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19021808.post-1144362367697488282008-12-21T11:24:00.000-08:002008-12-21T11:24:00.000-08:00@arvind suresh..<BR/>Rightly said.. it seems like universally all grandparents are made to be like this :)<BR/>Glad u chose to read such a long prose on a Sunday morning..<BR/><BR/>@ajai..<BR/>He he.. thanks :) getting mixed responses for this one.. in fact a close friend called this post outright mokkai :D<BR/>But another did mention that this reminded him of RK Narayan and his style of description..

You have a good narrator hidden in you buddy.

In any case, theyre almost always the sweetest people around! Am sure glad I didnt miss out on my time with them! <BR/><BR/>Good read on a sunday morning to bring back a lot of my own childhood memories!Arvind Sureshhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13074307243515452649noreply@blogger.com
