Our Summer Saga 2026

This summer felt like a collection of moments I'll always carry with me.

On one day, I spent time with younger son at BM Birla Planetarium Korattur -looking up at the stars, sharing wonder, curiosity, and quiet excitement.

On another day, I walked into a temple with my Elder son-peaceful, grounding, filled with silence and a different kind of connection.

And then came a day for all of us-together at the beach. Laughter, waves, sandy feet, and the simple joy of being side by side.

3 days, 3 different experiences.

One day for the stars, one day rooted in stillness, and one full of carefree day of togetherness.

Me And My Elder son 

Visited ISCKON temple and enjoyed the ambience there. He enjoyed his favourite place. Also his favourite butter milk and pot kulfi. We also did shopping there as usual we bought different variety of incense sticks for pooja and some other needed stuffs and back home in the afternoon.

 Me and my Younger son 

Visited Planetarium in chennai we have seen in other places but this is our first visit in chennai. It was an unplanned trip as we came for a work near Guindy during waiting time we planned to visit here. Really we enjoyed this place and learnt new things below are some pics of our visit. As of today we could see lot of upgrades happened which engaged us in every minute we spent there.

WE three visited to Chennai Marina beach after 8 years, we travelled by bus to explore more. We tasted hot grilled corn and bajji enjoying sunset.In return we visited Kabaleeshwar temple mylapore and saw panguni festival decoration, later we did shopping at giri and got few stuffs and returned back home

Singaperumal Temple

 Patalathri Narasimha temple 

Living in chennai since 2001 but I happened to visit singaperumal Temple only this new year 2025.

We planned to visit on new year day. We started by 9 am and reached temple. There was heavy traffic on road. Parking vehicle was very tough as the queue started from outside road. Some how parked vehicle and joined queue for darshan. It took almost two hours to reach outside entrance of temple. Later got to know about special darshan ticket we got that entered that queue still it took further one hour to see perumal darshan and ambal darshan.

While waiting on queue my DH and younger son chanted their humming lines for perumal 

Narasimha,Narasimha, patalathri Narasimha!!

Felt blessed to visit on new year day. But both my kids got tired and if I ask them next time if we can go to singaperumal Temple they would immediately say no as waiting line and time would definitely make them reply that way.

Then we had prasadam at temple. Perumal temple is famous for puliyodharai and podi dosa we don't want to miss it .

If we visit this temple for 9 Saturdays we get blessings from perumal. "நாளை என்பது நரசிம்மருக்கு இல்லை" so if we wish to visit or offer our prayers we should never have second thoughts on it, this words written in temple are very true. Nethra darshan of perumal is very famous here. We can see nethra darshan and chant "govinda govinda" and offer our prayers to Lord Vishnu and Mahalaxmi thayar.

Also this temple is famous for girivalam.

Om Namo Narayana!!!!!!
