Nostalgia: Revisiting Mettur
It’s been a minute..
My father grew up in Mettur during the 1970s (as did most of my paternal relatives). Most of them migrated elsewhere over the next decade or so although we still had a few relatives continue to reside there until early 2000s.
My happiest fondest childhood memories are from visiting Mettur during my school breaks. Does Chemplast Chemicals Colony ring a bell for anyone here? the colony Pillayar temple? I remember how happy I used to be just walking those roads, visiting the temple and playing with cousins and friends in the colony.
It’s been more than 20 years since my last visit. And I’ve been longing to come back and just reminisce those golden days. I wonder if the colony is even around today. Or have they been “abandoned” and has nature effectively reclaimed all that land.
Anyway, don’t want to waste y’all’s time with my monologue. I am planning to visit Mettur sometime this year or early next year to find out those answers.
Was wondering if anyone here has recently been around the area - if so, would be super grateful for any recommendations for hotels / places to stay and dine at. Thank you 🙏🏽
