Arni Palaces in ruins by chandru arni
The Arni Jagir, given as a Gift from Shajee, the great Mahratta warrior, to my ancestor, Vedaji Bhaskar Punt, for military services rendered in the former's invasion of the Carnatic had existed since 1640. The Jagir covered an area of 180 square miles and is situated in the North Arcot District, Tamil Nadu, INDIA.
The Government of India abolished it in 1951 by a Zamindai Abolition Bill, and as a First Amendment to the Constitution, giving the Jaghir a small compensation. This resulted in the bad upkeep of the Palaces due to lack of funds.
The video below reveals what existed then and what is the current state and seeks the Government of India's help in restoration and make it a heritage and tourist site.
The photographs were taken in 2008 by Mr.Megarajan and friends in his TRAVELOGUE blog for which I thank him.

We visited the poosimalaikuppam bungalow. Mr.Chandru Arni, could you kindly give us some authentic information on the history of the sadly kept summer palace? Who is Mr Srnivasa Rao?
Thankyou

Today, I went to the beach front with my children.
I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year
old daughter and said "You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear." She placed the shell to her
ear and
screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and
it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back!
LoL I know this is
completely off topic but I had to tell someone!
