Ever heard of mothers feeding their children with arrack instead of milk ?

Tamilnadu

It could be the stuff of movies. Brothers Thangarajan and Mani from Mettur in Salem were taken away by the STF in 1993. Their mother was arrested and told that her family has been killed. Though the brothers were let off, they grew as strangers to each other. They became best friends 13 years later, and then their sisters recognised Thanagaraj. The siblings then traced their mother who was leading a lonely life in a village.

Chennai City Birth day

Does the city have birthday ? Yes , of course. it was on Aug 22, 1639. that the East India Company reached an agreement with the local chieftain over purchasing a piece of land where Fort St George stands today. Thus Chennai was born, say historians. Now the metro's birthday will be celebrated with heritage walks, school exchange programmes and bike tours. Thanks to the innovative idea of historian S. Muthiah, journalist Sashi Nair and publisher Vincent D'Souza it will link the city's past and present

Today is Chennai city's birthday

Hope you guys had a great week end
