Twin City Of Erode - Pallipalayam

What is it about little towns and villages that is so intriguing and stimulating ? Dunno , its one of those things that you can't put your finger on and say yes this why!!!!  

So why this place Pallipalayam ...
May be because its the birth place of the Mathematician Ramanujam .... no i would run for miles ..... me and math are miles apart. 

Is it because the "Pallipalayam chicken" is world famous....  believe me I have friends who speak passionately about it ...... 

Could it be the fascination for the cotton veshtii's ( Dhothi ) Lungi's and colorful Sarees that are so tactfully woven ... a hmmm 

 It must be the long tresses of Cauvery, touching many a lives with her warmth and serenity. 

 Or could it be the fertile pastures ....... ( or the lack of it )
None of the above ....

Simple ... I was threatened to write  by some of the locals who think global who were keen to bring their hometown to the limelight.

         "Oh whats in a name" people say  - yet so much thought goes into naming something( or someone) .... 'Palli' - dwelling also  knowledge centre and 'Palayam' a place where civilizations are nurtured. 

                                                                  Cauvery- Pallipalayam (பள்ளிபாளையம்) 

It was when I met some interesting people from this town  it got me thinking...

 How many quaint little settlements  have we lost (losing) to modernization ....

Are there any ' Pallipalyam-ites '(home sick for their world famous chicken curry and mutton biyrani)
out there who can share some sizzling facts?
