Last week when I was in Madurai it was a surprise to see her flow freely under the bridges, through the groves, filling the canals and ponds, no matter what gets in the way. Instead of the old bed of sand with the sun beating down, she was flowing freely for a change. I also chanced to drive along her flow through Sholavandhaan, Thiruvedagam, Kuruvithurai... It was an awesome experience watching her flow. Wish it rains more!

Vaigai Flows Again

Million Gods
I thought I should share this interesting framework of hierarchy of Gods in Hindu mythology that I found in a book - Myth=Mithya: A Handbook of Hindu Mythology by Dr. Devdutt Pattanaik. The book is also very interesting and deals with apparent paradoxes and unravels an inherited truth about life and death, nature and culture, perfection and possibility from Hindu Mythological perspective. It also retells numerous stories and decodes Hindu symbols and rituals, using a unique style of commentary, illustrations and diagrams.

Grace turns 102
Grace turned 102 today. It was supposed to be a Walnut Banana Cake Party :) Yummy.. isn't it. I missed the cake as well as some direct blessing from Grace. Hopefully, I'll make it to Kodai for her 103 rd Birthday.
Grace Wardell was born in 1908. She is the first woman Features Editor of a national newspaper, The London Daily Express and has covered the Second World War. Grace and her son Mark live in Kodai
