50years of ironing

Inthis year 2007 is significient in many ways.
1. My retirement from active service life
2. Sugavanam attains 50 years
and Thirumoorthy completed 30 years of marriage life

and I have completed 50 years of iron pressing in this year.
I started pressing the clothes in the year 1957 at Salem. My guru in teaching the pressing is my mother. There was a Iron press box in the house . By chance I happen to see the Iron box in the store room. I took out and told I want to do cloth pressing. That was coal press. We were having coal in the house and I put the coal inside the iron box and lit the fire. The bottom of the box heated and with the guidance of mother i started pressing the cleaned the clothes. That was the starting. From then onwards in the house all started wearing pressed clothes. During course of years the coal based press has been replaced with electric press.

In salem We had a very big house and we had a big kitchen garden . Different varieties of flowers , vegetables were grown inour garden. Thiswas our cricket ground. Moorthy, myself used play cricket. My upanayanam was held in that house. My faternal aunties Thailamma and banu attha performed veena Katcheri in the evening.
In our street we are selected kind of people having Kaveri water pipe inside the house. Water will come in alternative days for two hours. Our requirement may be 3/4 hrs. remaining period water will be distributed to neighbouring houses .

I wiil be with you shortly. A short break.

It was a day in my life from autobiography. When I am 6 years old my aunty from father's side Mrs banu attha came to our house at Sooramangalam. One day during mealstime we all the children usedto sit around and take meals by hand provided by the elder. One that time my attha gave food that way. She used to give big slice of food in the hand. I objected and told her to give smaller size. For that she replied first you take the extra food and afterwards you take the regular one so that you will not feel that you are taking bigger one. What a phylosiphy. as children we took on the face value.

One time during this period My Periamma ie my mother's elder sister came to our house. On her departure day she requested my father to send my self and thirumoorthy along with her to Gudiyattam her native place. Gudiyattam is around 200 km from Salem Jn. We boarded the passenger train around 7.30AM and the train was moving around av 25 km per hr. and it reached Gudiyattam around 5.00PM. We had a pleasent journey and it was our first long journey in the train /bus.

After retirement Sri Chandrasekar undertook aprigrimmage to all Devara Shetram , which are 108 Shivastalam. For this he undertook so many studies, made enquiries,and completed this rare Thirthayatrai which is unique. It is beleived if one person completes 54 Shiva shetram and if any other person sees him will get benefit of having dharson of of Shiva temple.
