Reaching Jackanarai

We could not see any houses on both sides. Tea plantations on the sides of hills and nothing else. Suddenly we reached a place where tiny match box like houses were joined together in one cluster as if place for stay is very rare to find. This is how people stay here. Later I asked my client why you stay like this sharing your house walls with others and with low ceiling. She replied that in the earlier days entire area was jungle and to be safe against wild animals they stayed together like this and it still continues. That cluster of houses and shop is called Aravenu. From there we have to go to Jackanarai village. Again it is not like village in Kerala which is a vast area of land. This village is just another cluster of tiny houses sharing walls with others. They call this human habitation unit as village
We have located the place where my client Meenatchi was waiting and we went down on the side of hill to reach her covered planting area for beans and lily flowers of different colours. This tree planting area is where they intend to construct 4000 sft independent villa just like houses in Kerala. I could see a villa house just like houses in our place just in front of that plot. That is the only house of that type in the entire area. Probably seeing that house made my client to think of a similar bigger and better house designed by an Architect from far away Cochin
