Neyveli-sweet home place

Let me start my blog with my home place..after all when the charity begins at home,y not my blog..?:P


Neyveli is the "power behind power". It is a power generation township in Cuddalore district of Tamil Nadu. The huge cranes throwing dust during mining and spreaders over the artificial mountain welcome the people to my township. Not to mention the arch gate. It is one of the well-planned townships in India comparable even to Chandigarh. My township can boast off its all round water and electricity supply at cheap rates. It has one of the best sanitation systems in India i would say. To be short, its owner's pride,neighbor's envy.


now to my personal take on Neyveli. This place is so special to me as i was born n brought up in this lignite city. I have never been separated from Neyveli till school days. the school,the grounds,cricket coaching,friends have made my home heavenly. NLC library is one of the best in the region i should say. U name a novel,i ll pick it for u. so fortunate to have everything at stone's throw distance. i consider myself very lucky. i ll miss all those when i go out of the comfortable but sluggish town. u can reach any place in neyveli in 10 min at the max. u r the traffic. i can bet on that.


i still remember the beautiful garden behind our home where breathtaking flowers welcome each morning. for some two years i suppose, v didnt buy vegetables outside as enough ll be available in our garden itself. but again thats one stage..



the striking feature which i have easily overlooked is the water management in neyveli. v can play in the ground even if it rained cats and dogs earlier in the day. u can find no sign of water-logging and many times i will come to know about rain only after seeing the wet roads.people here are serious about drainage here. Only during monsoon times, a city's cleanliness should be judged. Everything gets exposed then. my town stands out there.


Though i haven't ventured many places in Neyveli, often ashamed for that:(, i am familiar with almost every important place. What i feel my town lacks is proper entertainment facility-only two theaters, one decent park, an inactive club..thats because of the priority of the people here..the living expenses are comparable to the metro cities i should say.

Saying all that Neyveli is known for its monotonous routine.u cant break the routine. tis very tough believe me. It doesnt suit to the busy city people. Also Neyveli parents are too serious about the education of their wards. One step higher envious to other's success most of the times. I hate that. Ppl ll wish u all success but ironically wont congratulate u when u achieve. crazy ppl i say!!Hope Neyveli develops its entertainment arena to break its rather monotonous life. thats what v lack in!!

sir well narrated about neyveli (heaven for many). only thing which we miss in neyveli is girls (colours), which is a part of entertainment. i hope you miss everything in trichy(colourless city). i expect you to write few sentences about colours available in our town, as you had many during your good old school days. i know you were hidding behind the books during your school days but you still managed to balance it with entertainment.

@ramki..well..Colours aplenty here..having said that, girls have tough time out here..:)My take..We dont follow beautiful girls. Just because v follow, She becomes beautiful:P
