But Chidambaram is much different; Its my birth place, it is there I have spent my childhood, adolescence and early manhood.The town, given its location and the presence of a large residential university has a rare blend of a spectrum of entirely different cultures in absolute amalgamation.
It has been more than five years since I moved out of Chidambaram; So, what does Chidambaram mean to me, now
-The so-called 'Home town'
-A 'must visit' twice a year
-New buildings and widened roads that are so alien to me
-Renovated / Relocated / Demolished landmarks (Courtesy: The NEW Over-bridge)
-Mistaken identities (Courtesy: My look-alike younger brother)
-Reminiscents of my school and college life
-Migrated friends
-family updates (new baby born to my mother's cousin's sister etc,.)
Then, what do I really do at home
-Read (This time it was Ponniyin Selvan-Part IV)
-Sleep for hours together
-Enjoy home-made food
-Bed coffee luxuries
-Watch TV . . . all those untiring Tamil channels
-Murthy Cafe parottas
-play with my doggie, Robin
-and some photography
Definitely, I would call it a BREAK, a real BREAK from this Home-Office-Home routine in Baroda;
