Here, nestled in the heart of Coimbatore, a city obsessed with the relentless pursuit of progress, two friends are on a different kind of quest – a journey into the past.
In this technology-driven age, many are driven by "What's next?" But for Sudhakar Nalliyappan and Kumaravel Ramasamy, the question "What was?" holds the key to a more meaningful future.

He emphasizes the importance of remembering the stories that shaped our world – the food our ancestors ate, the art they created, the very land they walked on. For him, history is intrinsically linked to identity, and without it, we lose a vital part of who we are.
