Sholinghur....2

Someone has innocently asked whether I actually bought the stick. How can you ask such a question to a person from Tippi, that too, nephew of TVR? I have learnt my lessons from TVR, and asked the stick seller if he would return my money if I return the stick at the end of the trip. He looked puzzled, nobody appraently has ever asked him such a question. The discussion became like a la Senthil - Vazhapazham.

Advice to Sholinghur aspirants:
1 Temple is under renovation, so you cant see the Moolavar until kumbhabhishekam (not yer scheduled).
2. Go during extended vacation, as you cannot walk for a couple of days after the steep climbs
3. No decent food joint (if Saravana Bhavan is your standard) at Sholinghur or Arakonam.
