I love my hometown Nagercoil which is situated in the southern most tip of India. Nagercoil is a beautiful town surrounded by greens and beaches and lot of tea and rubber estates. It is also in the border of kerala and once upon a time belonged to the state of Kerala and now it is owned by the state of TamilNadu. Lot of keralites live there and so the language spoken there would be a mixture of malayalam and tamil which is very sweet to hear.
Some pictures taken from Sanguthorai beach.



This picture was taken at Sanguthurai beach. Sangu is shell and because of this statue it is called sanguthurai beach.




















Sanguthorai Beach is surrounded by coconut tree farms and cane trees and it is a feast for eyes to view the beach from the coconut tree farms.

















Beautiful view of Sanguthorai beach.




















A beautiful scene of backwaters of Sanguthurai beach.






Infact there are lot of places to see around Nagercoil. Like Kanyakumari which is 30 mins drive from Nagercoil, Tiuparappu a waterfall near Nagercoil and thottipalam a bridge built over a river which is really amazing to see and it is really a feast to eyes to see from that bridge the greens and the river below and the bridge is very narrow and feels like swinging in the air. There are many more beaches around like muttam, sanguthurai and sotthavilai.

Below are some of the pictures taken from Kanyakumari! To know more about kanyakumari visit here.

I have lot of sweet memories about my home town and my house where I spent my childhood days. Where me and my bro used to fight and sometimes also laugh together and it would be a fun when my cousin brothers and sisters come over to my place on vacations and everyday go to some beach or waterfalls and spend the whole day there :)
Some pictures of my home sweet home at Nagercoil! :)

A view from the terrace of my ancestral home!

Temple of Lord Krishna built by my great grand father!!!

Yeah! Koonthankulam is my ancestral home! It is a beautiful village full of greens situated in the district of Tirunelveli!

I have lot of sweet memories about Koonthankulam! when we were kids we used to spend our summer vacations there! We used to have lot of fun playing around as we are 9 cousin sisters and brothers! From morning till evening only fun and also some friendly fights! :P I really miss that good old days!

Koonthankulam is also a bird sanctuary and lot of foreigners and people all around from India visit this place! Farming is the main occupation held out there! The people there lead a very simple life and very down to earth!!



Birds in a lake in Koonthankulam!

Speaking about my ancestrol home it was built some 150 years back and looks like a palace! My mom has six sisters and a brother and all their marriages were held in the home itself as it has a huge hall similar to a marriage hall! There is a temple of lord Krishna which was built by my great grand father and still maintained by my uncle and aunts!

The picts below is the hall of my ancestral home where all my aunts and uncle's marriages were held and where we all cousin brothers and sisters spent our vacations playing shuttle and lot more during our vacations!!




Flowers decorated in a brass pot by my aunt who stays there!! Subbulakshmi is her name and she is very talented.. infact all 6 sisters are very very talented and artistik!!


Beautiful rangoli made by my aunt with rice powder!!!

Now many of the Tamil movies are shot in my ancestral home and the house has become very popular because of the movies shot there! People who come to see the birds also visit the house to saying that they wanted to see the house where the movie was shot!

A really scary narrow stair case at our ancestral home!!





I'm really proud to be one of the grand daughter of that house and love all my aunts uncle and my 3 cousin sisters Vidhya, Sridevi, Anushiya and my cousin brothers Ramesh anna, Rajesh, Mahesh, Arvind and also my brother Suresh! We all are married now and well settled and all have kids but still make it a point to meet once a year in summer vacations at my ancestral home! :) To know more about Koonthakulam visit here
