On the 14h January we came across a procession along Peel Avenue celebrating the Ponggal Festival, the only Indian festival to follow the solar calender. The first day celebrates a good harvest; the second day - Mattu Ponggal - is a worship of cows; on the 3rd day - Kanni Ponggal - maidens pray for a good husband.
In my polo days, I had a great mare called Lady Robyn, which gave me some wonderfull games. One day, a horse unlawfully broke into her stable. The result was a foal, born on January 15. I called him Ponggal Star.

This is a record of moments in the life of a retired lawyer meant for his grandchildren, their parents and friends.

About Me
- LKC Blog
- This is the diary of a lawyer who walked out of court when someone in the know whispered to him that the case, in which he was leading six other lawyers, was a set up job; that the plaintiff was in fact a proxy for the government and that the defendant - the Bar - was bound to lose. He has never gone back to the courts, now a filthy pit of corruption and rigged cases. This blog is written for his grandchildren and curious friends

Q: Did Ponggal Star have his mum's or his dad's characteristics?
PS: Glad to read your Profile but you are more than an ex-lawyer. My kids checked you out on Google and went away impressed!
Ponggal Star was a disappointment and failed to show signs of promise. So he was sent into exile in Tanjong Rambutan
