Hi Folks.
Nice to see a site on Kalpakkam. I stayed at the sleepy, serene Kalpakkam township from 1996-1998.
I explored the birds in Kalpakkam, visited the gorgeous
late with hordes of birds. Shared the excitement with
Kalpakkamites when Comet Hale-Bopp was visiting us!
Enjoyed the beautiful backwaters and the virgin sea.
Those walks to the Sadras village to have banana pakoras!
Unfortunately, I was kicked out of Kalpakkam on
taking a stand against the Pokhran-2 nuclear tests.
But the sweet memories of the simple people and the
beautiful township remain with me.
