Narippaiyur

Shiny's ancestral home is at Narippaiyur, a 64 km drive from Ramanathapuram. The place has its own charm, with boats float-parked near the shore, waters clean and very less people on the beach. Mama recounted stories from his past, of how he grew up there, of the trouble they had to go through whenever storms crossed the shore, and all of his swimming adventures. Grandparents, sweet as always, warmed us with hearty blessings.

On our way back, we went for boating in Ranganthittu Bird Sanctuary.

The last time I visited was when few of my friends had come down to Bangalore; and for Shiny - the last time to Bannerghatta was during college. Although I pretty much knew where I should head with the route, we wanted to use Google Maps just to be sure. The interesting part was that there were two entries against Bannerghatta on Google Maps, one goes by the name Bannerghatta National Park and the other Bannerghatta Biological Park . We chose the first one and it led us to a wrong destination. Thankfully there were people to help, and we were re-routed to Bannerghatta Biological Park - also known as The Bangalore Z...
