Bygones
in the life are not just bygones. One mulls about it in different phases of
their life. The memories reside in the heart. Some are vivid and some can be
cherished once in while. No one can ever forget the root from where they
came. It’s so fascinating to look back and cherish those feelings. This
innate nature is so true in every human being.
“Whenever
I see a bus No.199 in the Chennai roads, I stop for a while and pant at it.
There is no meaning in it, as I never traveled in the bus for almost two
decades and no one is there for me in the Bus. But it just shows my
feeling”, says Karikalan a Manager in a Nationalized Bank in Chennai. He
is away from Neyveli for more than 20 years. In his busy life, he always
wants to go to Neyveli. But not able to do so. “I will definitely make it
there”, his eye glows when he says this.
“The
every day hustle and bustle of Mumbai reminds me of the calm and peaceful
Neyveli”, says Sunandanan. A charted accountant in Mumbai, he visits once
or twice in a year, as his parents still live in Neyveli.
In the
water scant Chennai city, Rangaswami feels he lost the comfort of Neyveli.
The huge source of water, which he used to in Neyveli, is just a distant
dream here. Living in a crowded Nungambakkam area, life is just a glum for
him.
“Having
lived in Neyveli for more than 3 decades, I feel Chennai is not a place for
me. I love gardening. I had nearly 20 trees in my township house. Here I can
think only of potted plants and sharing the costly water with them is also a
disputed affair in the house, though my son understands my feeling”,
explains Rangaswamy.
He always thinks of living peacefully in Neyveli in his retirement days, but
his love for Grand children still keeps him in Chennai.
The story
continues….

so many people living in different parts of the world, who were born and
brought up in Neyveli, still lingers with the thought about this peaceful
