Heritage week special - Vandalised murals of Suseendram

Deep down South near Kanyakumari is a temple dedicated to the Trinity - Brahma , Vishnu and Siva called Suseendram. A 18 feet tall Hanuman towers over the devotees, protecting them from all ills.

Skywatch Friday - An evening in Parangipettai

Parangipettai is just another fishing hamlet on the Coromandel Coast. But centuries ago, it had another name and an identity - Porto Novo. It was then a colony of the Portuguese who had set up a trading post initially but later ruled parts of India. This Skywatch we visit the shores of this erstwhile port. The entire jetty that we see here was once a thriving port , but today we see no evidence of the same

Skywatch- Sunset in a barren field

There is beauty in barrenness. Many a time I have stopped in the middle of a road journey while journeying through obscure villages just for moments like this.
