palkar.org since 1998

Memories from more than a quarter century of Sourashtrians on the web.
palkar.org went online on 20 October 1998, created by Ragu Tirukonda, and has served the community ever since. Some of its early features belong to a different era of the internet. We keep their memory here.
Avre Guestu Booku
Between 1998 and 2018, visitors left 1,419 messages in the palkar.org guestbook, from Madurai, Chennai, London, Qatar, San Francisco and beyond. Greetings, matrimonial requests, people searching for long-lost relatives, and families looking for travel companions for their parents. The guestbook is being archived, with phone numbers and email addresses removed.
