8.NIGHT PATROL :

During summer, night patrol around our street. Some members took part just to have snacks and tea being offered for the goorghas. Balan caught a thief during the patrol but after 6 to 7 hours of torture that fellow seemed to be “FULL PAITHIAM”.

THERE ARE SAD THOUGHTS ALSO

1.The washing away of Anand on the early morning of Grahanam’s day in the Cauvery, got the body only after 2 days.He was very obedient and very affectionate towards our thatha and patty.

2.The opening batsman Jeeyapuram Gavaskar(Mohan- ward of YRK & Rajeswari mami).Very close to all our family members.
