Carelessness in Koppanapatti

Arulmigu Sri Muthumariamman temple at village Konnaiyur is very famous. The other name of Konnaiyur is Koppanapatti. It is in between Pudukkottai and Ponnamaravathi. A rain water harvesting system is existing at the temple. However, it is not properly maintained. One of the hoses that carries rain water to the underground has come out. It must be fitted properly to save water.

Let the trees grow

Don’t cut growing trees   

                    

Let neighbours live peacefully

In Pudupatti of Ponnamaravathi, it appears that some people don’t want neighbours’ growth. They don’t want to see even trees grown by neighbours. They cut the trees, remove leaves and feed to their cattle. Shepherds feed their cattle by stealing feeds like leaves of drumstick trees, margosa trees (neem trees), and grasses without any hesitation. Their main idea is to grow by spoiling the livelihood and interest of others. A few examples of merciless cutting of growing trees are depicted here.   

Despite several requests and warnings, these types of ridiculous activities continue in India, especially PON Puduppatti of Tamilnadu. No mercy; no sympathy at all. Government takes initiatives to grow trees for the mankind. Envying neighbours and greedy thieves don’t allow the growth of plants planted by others. God is only to decide either to punish them or not. Let us live with growing trees that give us oxygen to breath.

Wrong Signboard of Ponnamaravathi

Ponnamaravathi or Ponnamarathy

Highways department installed a signboard in front of ponnamaravathi bus stand, just adjacent to the entrance of buses. It is wrongly written especially in English as PONNAMARATHY. The letters V and A after ponnamara and before thy are missing. Instead of thi, thy is used.

It seems the people of Ponnamaravathi usually don’t use the official name. Similar is the case of Pudupatti. If you see the postal stamp, and board at pudupatti post office, it is written as PUDUPATTI. But the public use different names as P. Puduppatti, P. Puduppatty, Pon. Puduppatti, Pon. Puduppatty, and so on.

Tea from Wife

A Tamil poem with each line starts from a vowel in sequence

 

இல்லாள் கை இலை வடி நீர் (மனைவி கைத் தேநீர்)

 அன்பே, பண்பே,

ஆருயிரே, என்னுயிரே,

இன்சொல் இயம்பும் இல்லாளே , இலக்கியமே,

ஈ அமரா இனிய மலரே,

உன்னுடன், என்றென்றும்

ஊடலா! ஐயோ அது                                      

எனக்கெதற்கு?

ஏனோ? எதுவாகிலும்,

ஐயிரண்டு ரூபாய் பெரும்

ஒரு கோப்பைத் தேநீரை

ஓடிவந்து அருந்துவேன்; ஓவியமே

ஔஷதம் எனக்கு என்றும்

அஃதே, மயக்கும் ‘குவார்ட்டர் பாட்டில்’ அல்ல.

Author of this poem is the first son of Mr. M. Natarajan, a renowned Tinsmith of Pudupatti (PON. Puduppatti), Ponnamaravathi, Tamilnadu, India. He is also one among the ten Sons-in-law of the great Goldsmith of Kulipirai, Pudukkottai District, recently died M. L. Karuppiah Achari.
