  • அருப்புக் கோட்டை என்றால் என்ன? இது வரலாற்றுச் சிறப்பு மிக்க இடமா? இங்கு கோட்டை எதுவும் இருக்கிறதா? இதுபோன்ற வினாக்கள் சிறுவயது முதல் என் சிந்தையில் சுற்றி வந்து கொண்டே இருந்தன. ஆனால் சில ஆண்டுகளுக்கு முன்புதான் அருப்புக் கோட்டை என்பதன் பொருளைப் புரிந்து கொண்டேன். அருப்புக் கோட்டை என்பது கோட்டை போல மரங்கள் அடர்ந்த ஒரு இடம் அல்லது காடு எனப் பொருள் கொள்ளலாம். முற்காலத்தில் இங்கு உயர்ந்த மரங்கள் அடர்ந்த காடு இருந்திருக்கலாம்.
