"No, I have decided not to find her. To tell you the truth, she had her faults. She would become dark with anger and when angry, she would create havoc. Heck, during one of her rages, she even stamped me with her foot." answered the old man.


"Of course'" answered the old man smiling mischievously and taking hold of one of Meenakshi's hands. Meenakshi was too stunned to react. "I am in love you. Your moon like face, your fish shaped eyes, your conch like..."

"Oh shut up" snapped Meenakshi, pulling her hand away.

one small doubt..I thought that lake was River Vaigai when you mentioned..if not then pls explain me the origin of River Vaigai😊

I think the story is that in Meenakshi Kalyanam, when Shiva came with his ganas and they ate a lot, so they were feeling very thirsty. So Lord SHiva told them, "Vai Kai (Keep your hand)." The ganas then kept their hands on the ground and Ganga poured on their hands from Lord Shiva's Jata. Since it came when the kept their hand i.e. when SHiva told them Vai-kai, the river is called Vaigai.

Good updates varaali👏

Why no one objected when a hotel was being made on such a significant place? Greedy people.

A hotel on such a significant lake..!! Ridiculous..!! Talk abt destroying our heritage..!!

Btw I was imagining Lord Shiv's get up as a relatively young man..didn't know it was an old man get up..

Wow .so many meanings behind the name Meenakshi..!!

Very nice updates..Varaali..!! 😊 😊

Hmmm Varali first of kudos to you for connecting so many sad events and thinking about them while writing...very few would have done it...I enjoyed the contemporary touch to the story...eapescially the language...very nice...Thanks for the effort...so far the hotel on the lake goes...I guess this is the great country that India is...they planned a shopping mall by flattening out river Yamuna right behind tajmahal...changing the course of a river as humongous as Yamuna only India can think of that...I am glad the apex court stopped mayawati govt from doing it...this Uttaranchal tragedy is also a result of many uncalled for dams built over the tributaries of Ganga...so inshort our dear government brings in disaster more than development.
