For only those stories that have such feature(s) excite one in the otherwise monotonous day-to-day 'material life' of an average man - for a 'break'… <BR/><BR/>Perhaps this is ‘Nature’s’ hint Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8999700.post-1139566101797301732006-02-10T15:38:00.000+05:302006-02-10T15:38:00.000+05:30Thanks to you, I could actually post two messages ...Thanks to you, I could actually post two messages in such a short intervel!Badhrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15549143296407318099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8999700.post-1139455862853776032006-02-09T09:01:00.000+05:302006-02-09T09:01:00.000+05:30I meant on the right! the sea is on the left. you ...I meant on the right! the sea is on the left. you are right. the temple tank comes on the left on the way to Mahabalipuram!!!<BR/><BR/>so much for my direction!Kavitha Kalyanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00813712305535152213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8999700.post-1139418130457315492006-02-08T22:32:00.000+05:302006-02-08T22:32:00.000+05:30Hmmm,If you are travelling towards Mamallapuram, o...Hmmm,<BR/>If you are travelling towards Mamallapuram, on the left is the sea!

But I do know a little about its History and Geography.<BR/><BR/>Tiruvidaventhai is more commonly known as Tiruvidanthai. It is on the East Coast Road, just a short distance after you cross the Crocodile Park. Say about 10-15 km from Tiruvanmiyur, if my math is not bad. Thats the Geography.<BR/><BR/>The temple is Badhrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15549143296407318099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8999700.post-1139306614171295642006-02-07T15:33:00.000+05:302006-02-07T15:33:00.000+05:30Hi Badri,i was missing you for quite a while and w...Hi Badri,<BR/><BR/>i was missing you for quite a while and wondering where you had disappeared. thanks for coming back to my blog.

I was wondering if you have had a chance to go their, or have a post for it here or are planning for one. Will be interesting to see your observations on that.Badhrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15549143296407318099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8999700.post-1138989966370104012006-02-03T23:36:00.000+05:302006-02-03T23:36:00.000+05:30Nice post!Could practically visualize the place.

Accept them as part of your world and that acceptance will ensure you are not harmed.

Set yourself relaxed and you could feel something running through you, like a silent song.<BR/><BR/>Sadly we din't have tons of time to venture more.
