Palancheeri - experience the bygone era!
Venu Madhavan, who stays with his wife Sindhu & their children predominantly at Mumbai & runs logistic business in Dubai, is nostalgic about everything that he talks about his native place - Kadambur
Be it about his aging but energetic & loving mother Bharathi Amma or about paddy & coconut farming or simply about taking dip in a natural pond...
Palancheeri is just that -
the refreshing natural pond...
the tall coconut trees...
the lush green paddy fields...
the 'padippura' entrance...
the dressed stone paving...
the banyan tree & 'aalthara'...
the poomugham...
the 'charupadi' built-in seat...
the familiar smell of wood & clay...
the long verandahs...
the 'thankoormam' dominant roof form...
the 'thattin puram' attic space...
and...
Last but not the least,
Bharathi Amma's ever smiling face!!!
