Nyabagam Varudhey....Sweet Memories

"ஞாபகம் வருதே ஞாபகம் வருதே...
பொக்கிஷமாக நெஞ்சில் புதைந்த...  
நினைவுகள் எல்லாம் ஞாபகம் வருதே..."

Hello Everyone,

I was hearing this song last week and that's when I got an idea for this post. Its all about sweet memories of the past. 

As we all know, Change is inevitable. Only change can refrain from being changed...Alright, That's Philosophy! All of us can relate events in our lives to this philosophy at some point of time. One fine day, I started to wonder, how so many things have changed in Chromepet with time?

To be relevant to this blog, I thought of sharing some of my memories related to the school I studied...."The Robert Matriculation School" of Chromepet. The good old school has undergone so many changes through its existence and based on what I heard recently, the school itself is about to go it seems, as a final change! I am not sure, how far this information is true? But if it is, then only memories remain!

If you had studied in this school, you would definitely miss it!! That's true with any school. I agree. If I compare the current condition of the school with the days when I studied, the school has definitely lost an important constituent, the "playground".

To start with, a small playground/parking lot that lie next to the school building....which lost its space to a small apartment complex. Next is the Big Playground near Nemilichery, which again has lost its space to a even bigger apartment complex. People like me who had played, fought, cried and almost enjoyed every bit of time on these playgrounds, can only relish the memories of these once existed spots in Chromepet.

Hope the school will remain for a while or else, a personal heritage site of mine will be missing forever!!

This blog space is exclusively for the COSMOPOLITAN CHROMEPET. So this will contain only details about Chromepet..

May be in future there will be few blogs about undeveloped remote places & Villages like Srirangam, tiruchirappaly, etc.,!!
