Photograph of Ancestors lived in Kolinjivadi

Hello Friends,

          I received a photograph from Shri. Kumar Subramaniam, recently. The photo was taken approximately 100 years before. With his permission i am publishing the photograph in this post. Mr. Kumar can identify some of the persons to his ancestral lineage.

My Namaskarams to our elders of Kolinjivadi.

If anyone, of you could help identify some persons that would be great.

This is a family photo of Shri. Pattabhi Rama Iyer.

Water Scarcity

There were times i remember during my childhood days, we used to play a water game with "Peechaan Kuzhal" for Aadi 18 Perukku.

Now, we are facing very hard time to get water even for drinking.

Even-though, we are living by the banks of Holy Amaravathi, for the past one month we seldom received water supply from municipality pipe.

Some of the houses have their own bore-well drilled for water.

The ground water level is getting lower day by day. The bore-well drilled by the municipality in the Double street is the only source of water for all of us as of now.


It is just the beginning of summer we are suffering with water scarcity, can't imagine how can we manage next 6 months until the rainy season.

Praying the god for some good rain and to witness water flow in Amaravathi.

I am really really looking for the day to take my daughter to have a dip and fun playing in Amaravathi.
