Everybody likes Nagercoil

You spin my head right round..right round..when you go down..down..down
I like this song, its a sound track of the movie hangover. Its an awesome movie....lol, this song keeps playing in my head everytime...

Now coming to Nagercoil...
Everyone likes the place because of its natural beauty and gloomy overcast climate. Whenever i enter nagercoil the greenery and the chill weather amuses me. You should be there during the monsoon season. Its my bad, my wedding happened during summer and i was sweating throughout the day.

I will never forget those days when my mom used to take us to my hometown Thuthur (45 Km away from nagercoil) during the summer vacation. We reach nags healthy and then come back to chennai with some illness. I really don't know why we fall sick whenever we go to Nagercoil. I used to be totally upset about this as it happens every year so i used to make fun of Nagercoil as 'No Care Go ill' (say this continuously...). After entering college my visits to nagercoil really reduced. I never wanted to marry a girl from the south (nagercoil).....but see what God has written for me. I was under the impression that nagercoil could not produce babes, but all that changed when i met karen.

Karen tells me that nagercoil people are very "paavam", but as far as i know the people of nagercoil are more of the 'nakkal' kind and sometimes funny too. The tamil accent they have is a mix of malayalam and tamil which gives you a feeling that they are singing and not talking. Some words are really difficult to understand. I have heard karen talking in nagercoil accent to some of her friends and to priyanka the kid. It is very funny....I used to make fun of her. Nameeta speaks good tamil though, I don't see much of nagercoil accent in her.

Now here is the best part of nagercoil.

It was the year 1932, and like any other day the people of nagercoil where doing their routine work. Suddenly a huge noise was heard which was really buzzing their ears. The noise was heard all over the town of nagercoil and the near by villages. No one knew where this noise was coming from and people started panicking and looking here and there. The sound was there for couple of minutes and it stopped. Now the next day same time the massive noise was heard again, "What the heck is that, man?" this is what everyone said to each other. Third day same time same noise started buzzing all their ears, people looked around and finally noticed something strange in the sky, it was the cross of Jesus. People saw Jesus cross moving up to heaven like how Jesus rose from the grave. Seeing this amazing sight in the sky people knelt down and started praying. After sometime it disappeared, i mean the cross reached heaven. The news spread everywhere around nagercoil so the next day even more people were expecting to see the cross. Would you believe... the people were really blessed as the cross appeared again. This news reached the priests in the churches of nagercoil and the near by districts and they too were interested to see this miracle......so all the priests gathered together to check this out, and this is what happened.

Slowly....the buzzing sound gradually increased to a loud noise and here comes the cross again in the sky. People started praying again kneeling down. As usual it disappeared in a couple of minutes.

A man in the crowd asked the priest,

Man: Father, did you see what happened?

Priest: Yeah i saw. What do you think that is?

Man: That is Jesus Christ rising to heaven on the cross.

Priest: Oh i see!!! Dear people i respect your faith in God. But what you see here is not the cross of Jesus Christ. Its just an aeroplane flying from Trivandrum to Srilanka.

Man: Ohhhh!!!

It was the year 1932 when the Trivandrum airport was established and they started operating flights to various locations in April and this is how our people reacted when they saw the first flight crossing over NAGERCOIL.

Believe it or not!!! This is a true story and i'm not making this up.

From that moment onwards, even for small sounds the people of Nagercoil don't react... I experience this when I ride the bike out there.
