It was a flying visit. Managed to take a few photos to record few moments. Recorded the Kombai/Chennai/Coimbatore pictures in UK time and came back to UK and recorded the snow pictures in Indian time.
Thaththa has become a picture.
Chiththi
the face changed home of mine
our new house in kombai
Chevaththa puliyamaram looks shorter and fatter after 30 years. It has got some green-tamarind trees as company as well. (click on the images to see full size picture)
Some old days discovered.
1984 (ananthi came to see me. Missed to take photo with her).
1987 Senthil's letter to me.
1989 - some poor soul's autograph to me. Arul is no more.
The stones I used to play thattangal (girl's game using stones), well preserved in my petti
Narrowed down lane of mine
Kombai girls
Chiththappa's thottam (my uncle's farm)
<
Cousin brother - also Senthil.
Kanahambaram
Kaappu
Thumbai (rackadip poo)
Unni
The Ghats and the temple at the foothills
Catching up
Annalatchumi mathini
And, Friends ;-)

There's a lump in my throat when I see these photos. Heck, they aren't even my photos. Still, feel oddly sad. May be because I miss the innocence of those years.
Hi viewmatrix,
Thanks for dropping by. I am glad you liked it.
@Dubukku,

@ammani,
Thank you, thank you. :)
Kalakkal photos. I was overwhelmed on seeing your old collections. Especially all the stones in a box and the one rupee note given by someone. What a great memory. You are lucky to be owning the same house in which you grew up. Nice memories.
It was great to see your photos again. I showed them to the Saint. She was wondering if you were pregnant. I told her about your posts on the topic but then I must confess I am not aware of the latest developments.
Take care.
