Apparently one personality from our village used to have a horse driven chariot(Kuthiravady), in his hey days. He later moved to Eranakulam and used to stay at a home called Kalpaka at Perumanoor.
His name was Mathew J Kollamparampil.
Thank you Kariyachan. In fact, I knew the gentleman you have mentioned.
Wonder what happened to his 'kuthiravandy'.
Dear At sir;
He passed away a bachelor long back, and his estate is still in dispute I think - between a trust and his immediate family members.
I think its a bullock cart chassis not a push cart.
Kariyachan, we are talking about the same person.
Nebu, thank you for the correction.
