It's true, certain things bind you to a particular place. Can you tell me, what's the specialty of your present town/city that you love most? :P
I love Thrissur for Thrissur pooram and the three temples which conduct the pooram

I also have been living at my place since birth though I have seen lots of changes at my place and now at present its like a commercial place most of the people who used to live here have shifted to some other places but then too I have some special attachment with this place.Whenever we think of changing place someone from my brothers or father deny and start making comparisons with the present place and the place we see for future living. :)

I am sorry to note that you are staying in Thrissur due to your love for poor people of Thrissur served by temples. I am sure you are doing your best to help them with all the money at your disposal. I am living in my current place because there are not many poor people around and that saves us from many troubles. :laugh:
Actually for work purpose I am living in city... but I am too attached with my hometown so every week regularly visiting my place. HE he..
I spend my whole kiddo time and school time here.. So its like emotionally attachment. Well, there is nothing more famous kind of here but still I just love it.

am staying here due to frequent transfers....nothing else :P
But the thing, I like most is Vadakkumnatha Temple and its round........I think, we have to travel more than 1.5 kms to completely revolve the temple...I mean the public roads.....the road is one way......the whole land where pooram is held, belongs to Cochin Devaswam :silly: . How many acres, in the heart of the main town......
Same is the Kodungallur devi temple also, the place where I resided earlier. Roads (oneway) completely revolve the temple.....more than 1 km.
for both these temples, there are 4 paths in 4 directions through which we can enter the temple.......South, North, East and West..and parts belonging to those directions of both the temples are called.....Vadakke(North) Nada, Thekke(South) Nada, Kizhakke (East) Nada and Padinjaare(West) nada. Nada means 'the front' of a temple or home.
And there are numerous roads leading to these 4 Nadas.......The whole round of both these temples are filled with shops....thus the business area. Kodungallur is a small town belong to Thrissur Corporation
Pulling this thread up to get more points...
Let me tell you the peculiarity of my previous residential place Kodungallur. It's in Thrissur-Ernakulam border......but Thrissur district. I stayed there for 2.5 years.
When I was preparing a Christmas article, I just searched google to know where St.Thomas landed in Kerala, as I know well Christianity came to India through Kerala.
Earlier itself, I know Islam came first to India through Kodungallur and first mosque of India -Cheraman mosque is still there. I think around 500 AD. When I searched Indian Wikipedia, I was surprised to find that not only Islam, but Christianity and Jewish also came to India through Kodungallur.
This small town is known as the gateway of 3 foreign/popular religions to our country - Islam, Christianity and Judaism.
Jewish have now moved to Kochi and they have separate colony there. They are prominent in business and restaurants now at Kochi.
When I asked my Christian neighbour about this matter, she gave me more details and said that St.Thomas resided in Thrissur itself, a nearby place.
So, it's not surprising that 1/2th of every Malayai is either a Christian or Muslim.
Ratio of Hinduism:Islam:Christian:Others in our state is in the ratio, approximately.....49Hindus:25 Christians:25 Muslims:1 other..... a Complete state of communal harmony
