Your ancestral house reminds me of my mom's grandpa's house in krishnapuram (cadayanallore) amma used to talk about this place a lot (she is no more now). My patti tells me that her father used to make her grind coconut coil in attukkal, an exercise to be active. So when I think of aattukkal this is what comes in my mind.Kamala Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03910564880184284609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-705945079581705776.post-26163810357869235162009-09-27T16:02:33.264-07:002009-09-27T16:02:33.264-07:00if only attukals and parvatham athais all over rec...if only attukals and parvatham athais all over record their histories, we need not go elsewhere in searach for the life's saga of brahmins over the past few millennia. <br />the beauty of the writeup is that language does not get the upper hand over the subjectananthanarayanan vaidyanathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11032733919242411913noreply@blogger.com
