Lost?

This is a ping post not to let the cynics conclude that all who wonder do get lost. I have shifted locale and am now teaching in a lovely school (www.puvidham.net) in the Dharmapuri district in Tamil Nadu. It is about 150 kms from Bangalore. I live in a house that is 500m from the school and I teach Math, English, Science and Football (which I enjoy the most). I have 1 student in the 10th standard, 6 students in 7th and 3 in 8th. It is a small school and I have now built personal relationships with each one of my students which is nice.
The place has no real internet access, I use a Reliance wireless connection but it is lousy there. I am now sitting in the downtown Dharmapuri, waiting for a bus to Chennai, in an internet center. Between the school, the house and my MA course (which i have duly neglected) I am more busy than I have ever been! So much so for retiring after a gruelling (ha) career in IT industry. The IT folks are truly blessed, getting paid truckloads for warming their seats!
So folks if you are in the vicinity of the great place which one of the 7 great Tamil patrons (Adhiyaman) ruled, please do drop by. I will ask you to help me in my cleaning...
