This old HIBHS varapuzha school building, built in the year 1909, is an architectural beauty. Unfortunately it is about to be demolished for constructing a new school building. Personally for me, like anyone who understands the value of heritage buildings, it is a very sad news. Is there any way to preserve this heritage building?. If this is not preserved, the future generations will condemn those who allowed to demolish it.
North railway station at dusk. Bulb exposure, 1 minute. Did not have a tripod, so kept it on the wall and pressed the shutter button. Canon 550d, 18-55 kit lens. Aperture 22, iso 100.
From the beginning, that is easily five decades back, a post office was functioning at thundathum kadavu, catering to the communication needs of Varapuzha citizens. Even today the office functions at the same building. The old post master’s quarters was in ruins. A welcome change was the presence of the ladies cycles of the post women. Entry of women into an area, which was otherwise dominated by men. The atmosphere is definitely much cleaner, and the staff more polished in their dealings. I was greeted by a familiar smell, the smell of the free supply of gum for those who wanted to paste something..may be a cover or a stamp. The table was also same…no changes….yes, it was nostralgic…
