This is Pavadai ganesan

Readers may wonder about the name. Not only the name but also the person would be interesting if you could walk some seventy years back with him. If India is the spritual country of the world, then Tamilnadu would be the Head quarters. Agriculture was the backbone of indian economy as India lived in villages. I was gifted to be born in an agricultural family of a avillage in Tiruvarur district named SANNANALLUR. This is the junction point of the north south road Mayiladuthurai-Tiruvarur and east west road Nagapattinam-Kumbakonam. Pavadairayan used to be village diety and my father was named after the Lord. I was born on 01December 1942.
