Disclaimer: You will not find spiritual/religious info in this blog post so do not read further if you’re looking for that. In the first place, I wasn’t curious to visit TVM but still agreed to go because I didn’t want to let my dad travel alone with his poor health. He was diagnosed with dimorphic anemia around the full moon time but was adamant about watching the mountain flame! But, BUT… Surprisingly, I fell in love with this place after being there for a day and already am planning to visit again. (But the time this post goes live, I must have visited again!)
Though I had visited this town with my parents in childhood, this was my first ‘proper’ trip and hence the title. This blog post is about our November visit. (During Girivalam!) So yes, though dad wanted to see the flame, I went there only to explore food and the greenery! (And to say hi to some monkeys maybe!)
