Thank you the contributors. 2) K N Ganapathy Peacock dance excellent. I took a photo of a peacock from the terrace of my nephew's house in Coimbatore. They are regular visitors there. Now I find that peacocks are coming regularly in some villages in Kerala.

Efforts will be made to share responses and readers' Contributions through email/Blog and select WhatsApp messages. Thanks for cooperation. Nice Day M G Warrier A Responses 1) V Babusenan Thiruvananthapuram Let me add something to the interesting discussion on Kakkassery Bhattathiri. In the argument with Uddanda Sastri, the boy succeeded in controverting everything that the great Sastri said. Sastri's admiration for the boy reached its pinnacle and he said : "Mataa pativrathaa".
