Caught Grinning - 8

Many times we come across amusing sign-boards or objects or incidents in our journey, the life. Interesting, funny, and, at times, thought-provoking too. Just for fun and pun. There is absolutely no intention to hurt or offend anybody or anyone's feelings. 

This is a series posting such pictures I captured at different places. Under the Labels list on the right hand side, click on 'Caught Grinning' to see all postings in this series.

Valaikudaa Vazhakku

Gulf War, 1990-91. Firing scud missiles and patriot missiles amongst them, troops were battling each other. But around there were also hundreds of other sorrowful and pitiable scenes. There were huge number of civilian deaths around the war front. Many youngsters and women were also among them. There were kids who lost either both or one of their parents. There was a massive oil spill at sea front. Innumerable birds too went through tough torment.

A kid who lost its mother... looking around... and wondering...
Naano Siru Pillai, Enakkondrum Puriyavillai...
நானோ சிறுபிள்ளை, எனக்கொன்றும் புரியவில்லை...

...and, a host of other puzzling questions in that budding child's mind is this poem: Valaikudaa Vazhakku - வளைகுடா வழக்கு.

Ooty, Masinagudi Trip

Lakeview Hotel, Ooty - Review.

Forest Hills farm & guesthouse, Masinagudi - Review.

We did this 3-nights and 4-days trip by car from 2-Apr-11 (Sat.) to 5-Apr-11 (Tue.) including the 3-days long week-end for Ugadi Kannada New Year holiday on Monday, 4-Apr. Our car was trip-ready as its periodic service was done just a week ago and so I had no preparations necessary on that front for this trip.

Route
