Greenfields resort - Thirumullaivayal, Chennai

Recently, we decided to have a family get together. As Chennai turned cloudy and rains began to pour heavily on a December weekend we zeroed in on the near by resort - Greenfields at Thirumullaivayil. Its near the VGN Straford apartment which is just on the main road. The road leading to the resort from VGN is not good particular after a rain. We ended up there on a late morning time. On that day the resort was deserted owing to the rains.









The garden area was divided into two parts and we were able to freely roam around the resort talking and chatting all the way. The gardens are well maintained and there were teak wood trees also. Many of the trees were old owing to the existence of this resort for more than 20 years. Away from the hectic city this place provides a serene atmosphere.









All around the dining area it was green, trees and plants covered the whole area. There is also a swimming pool and few rooms where guests can stay too. Being the raining season all plants were blooming. There is also a children play area where kids can play in see-saw and swing. After a relaxed chat with tea and finger foods - omlette, gobi, paneer and mushroom fry we went for the lunch ordering. Veg pulao and chicken 65 became the lunch as the finger had already satiated our hunger.
Food was good. We were given a limited menu but the items were per expectation and served with 15 mins from the time of order. The price also is worthy of it and pocket friendly too. After spending a cool time and having had a fulfilling meal amidst the greeneries we left the resort fully satisfied.

Anjaneyar Temple - Gerugambakkam, Porur

 Very recently we came to know about the Anjaneyar temple built by actor Arjun is at Gerugambakkam. On a Sunday evening we drove towards this place. We need to detour from the Kundrathur main road to reach this temple and from then on we need to face a rough and patchy road. In just 5 minutes one can reach the temple. A small residential street leads to the temple. Very near it one could see few small stalls mushroomed up to sell pooja items. The vehicles have to be parked in the street near the temple gates. First is the corridor were few trees are seen.  On taking left is the entrance to the temple and you can see the Lord Anjaneyar much ahead. Here too are few trees uniformly spaced out. There is a coconut farm adjacent to this temple. There is a shelter above Lord Anjaneyar, but for that it is a open air temple. Facing Lord Anjaneyar and to the left and right corner are two shrines - one for Lord Ganesh and the other for Lord Anjaneyar's - Lord Rama, Lord Lakshmana and God...

Beach - Marakkanam

Born in the coastal area one realises the beauty of the beach only in instances where you have to stay away from your place for a long time or a person from non-coastal area appreciates the beach and call you lucky for coastal nativity. When Tsunami occurred, we are sure no one wanted to live in a coastal region. Having said that, over the weekend we went on a drive while resulted in experiencing the beach, back waters and the canal in Marakanam, roughly 120 kms from Chennai and 20 kms from Puducherry. Suddenly on a Saturday morning we decided to make a short trip to Marakanam where our friend has a farm house and called us in for a visit. After completing the weekend chores and a quick lunch, we started the drive towards Marakanam. We took the Chennai by-pass route to Vandaloor and then to ECR, crossing Mahabalipuram to reach the small town of Marakanam within 2 hrs. Numerous prawn Hatcheries in this place occupy the seashore. There seems to be around 53  Hatcheries in this stretc...

Dhandayuthapani Temple - Nadupalani

 Nadu Palani Murugan Temple - Achirupakkam  On a Saturday we decided to go out on a short trip and zeroed-in on Nadu Palani Murugan Temple. Less than 100 kms from Chennai, this was a long time item in the bucket list.  Achirupakkam town is where this temple is located. Achirupakkam is near Melmaruvathur. We took the Chengalpet route via Tambaram. Driving through Chromepet, Tambaram and Perungalathur was a mayhem on the Saturday afternoon traffic. We took a break at Manoj Bhavan at Mamandur. Hotel has lost the earlier charm and so was the food. As guided by a person near the hotel, just in 15 kms you can see an arch at the left side on the highway itself for Nadu Palani Murugan temple. From the arch, one has to drive into the village for 6-7 kms to reach the temple, at Perukkarani village. We had to take a ticket of Rs.50 to drive in the car to the small hillock. Around 100 steps, its a easy climb too. At the foot hill are Lord Anjaneyar and Lord Idumban on either sides fo...
