<\/a>\r\n ‘Weather Vane’ from an antique shop<\/a><\/h5>\r\n I was lucky to find this beautiful ‘Weather Vane’ from an antique shop. Have been looking for one for a very long time. This will go up on the roof of our farm house. This was used earlier to show the direction of the wind. Interestingly, the cock turns itself to face the wind.<\/p>\n<\/div>\r\n

<\/a>\r\n The Hunt for the Vinyl Records<\/a><\/h5>\r\n When I was a small kid, back in our ancestral home in Sooramangalam Village in Pondicherry, we had a LP record player. Not a gramophone but a modern (then!) player. My Dad and Uncle owned Record album holders (which looked like monstrous sized photo albums) with records of English, Tamil and Hindi songs. As we grew up and moved houses, no one knows where the… <\/p>\n

<\/a>\r\n A Gramophone Comes Home<\/a><\/h5>\r\n After months of searching, I finally selected a gramophone that I liked. Its actually a remake and not an antique. However, its a remarkably done remake. The only consolation though is that I exchanged the shiny flower horn for a real antique one (seen in dull brass color). This gramophone is a full working model and it plays great. We listened to ‘Kaadhalika Neramillai’ (one… <\/p>\n
