Polavakkalipalayam- My Village

The birth place memories come till death.  
I don't say it is beautiful village, but there i lived peacefully. 
Past 8 years i am in Coimbatore. 
After Marriage, i decided to settle in Coimbatore. 
But my thoughts and emotions are the same. 
In my childhood, my entertainment was playing cricket and going to the library.  
Cricket is my soul, and reading books was one of the part of my life... 
anyone give any books to read, i am ready to forgot the food also...
once... yes that's and all once, not now... 
i had 3 membership card,  i read more than 15 books in a week. 
I am not interested in school books, Even though i am decided to stop my study after 10th Std...
Higher education i done only private...
After few years again, i continue and finished degree in Amman arts college...
But i read all the books in the library.
No specific books... crime novels, poems, cinema, social, sports, weekly magazines, news papers... everything... 
At that time a remembered, just want to read any of the readable format books... 
Friendship, Celebrations, Temple functions, Cricket, Chess, Accidents, Suicides, Death, Love, disappointing, encourage, discourage. Victory, failures... Oh.....
