Thruchengodu is a town close to Erode, it is noted for the temple atop the mountain and borewell sinkers and farm businesses and the teaching institutions that have recently risen up.
There are many ways to reach this place and we selected to go via attayampatti a village close to our home.We split our journey into two,part on scooter and the other in a public transport bus.
We started after breakfast, me with the helmet on,in recognition of the safety rules. I looked like a racer, the only thing lacking was my speed and the other gears (pun intended) of a racer.It was cool and we enjoyed the shaded ride under the tamarind trees and later in the breeze of the bus.
We reached T.G. and rode up the mountain on the bus,( there are steps too) it was wonderful like a ride to the bottommost cloud with shrieks and yells by us while the kids in the bus were quiet and matured, the 10 minutes ride was scary yet safe and worth the donation of 7 rupees.
We roamed around the temple complex, completely lost in the maze of barricades made ready for the crowd the next day of new moon pilgrimage.

The most lovely part of the return journey were the stops at the bore well pump and the leaking water pipe which sprouted water like a fountain( most know what happens when venkhat sees water.) We had sapotas and bananas on the way and reached home.
I was lost in contemplation, what was it that the folks who made the temple wished to share.There is manliness in a women and grace and sensitivity of a women in a man.
We are a union.(The ionic state at the mountain top helps too in this realization)
The English man has wonderfully done that in his language.
There is a man in every wo’man’ and a person with a womb with qualities of a man is a wo man
