Hello Kurakaaran Sir

Glad to meet you in Blogging space . Its nice to hear your thoughts about water . Our place kottarakara is blessed with perennial supply of water .But due to the lack of any oppurtunities we are forced to move outside of it .and where there is oppurtunities there is not water , I am mentioning about Chennai ! the water quality is so poor that we are inflicted with skin diseases because we are using them . What do you think about this paradox .Also Kottarakara and any sort of such place is very virgin in terms of exposure to what is happening to the world outside . i ll call kottarakara a sleepy town
