P is for Pondy Bazar & Panagal Park #BlogchatterAtoZ

Posted on 18th April 201917th April 2019 by Mayuri

‘Pondy Bazar?! YOU go to Pondy Bazar, and you love it too?’ This question, almost always followed by an incredulous expression is what I still hear at the mention of a market I truly love. It was love at first sight for me when I visited Pondy Bazar. Chock a block with shops selling everything,…

O is for Oliver Ridley Turtles #BlogchatterA2Z

Posted on 17th April 201916th April 2019 by Mayuri

Chennai and the Sea are synonymous with each other. On one hand the Sea brought the city the terrible Tsunami and on the other hand it brings gifts that are precious. The Beaches of Chennai are one such gift. Yes, this city has more than a dozen of them. The other precious gift shared by…

Posted on 16th April 201916th April 2019 by Mayuri

Nungambakkam. Nung-am-bak-kam. That is how it is pronounced. Quite a mouthful, yes? You won’t forget how it is pronounced once you visit this hip and happening area of Chennai though. Nungambakkam is an upscale neighbourhood  and a popular tourist attraction of the city. It has KNK High Road, shortened from its original name Khadar Nawaz…

The name Mylapore comes from ‘Mayil Arparikum’ which translates to ‘The Land of the Peacock Scream’.  Many years ago, Peacocks (Mayil) used to be residents too and their calls would rent the air, and that how this area got its name.  This oldest residential area of the city has everything you would possibly need. From…

L is for LIC Building #BlogchatterA2Z

Posted on 13th April 201913th April 2019 by Mayuri

When I  was looking for what to write for the alphabet ‘L’, EVERYONE I asked had only one answer, ‘LIC Building’. ‘It used to be the tallest building in Chennai.’ ‘People visiting Chennai used to come just to look at it.’ ‘It was a tourist attraction in those days.’ These lines were the ones that…

J is for Jaya & Jasmine #BlogchatterAtoZ

Posted on 11th April 20196th April 2019 by Mayuri

Talking of Chennai and not mentioning tthe late J Jayalalitha , or Amma as she was known as, just does not seem  right. The power that lady held was simply phenomenal. I remember driving into Chennai from Bangalore the first thing we would see, as we reached the outskirts of the city, would be huge…

I is for, Ice Creams #BlogchatterA2Z

Posted on 10th April 20198th April 2019 by Mayuri

If you have been reading my posts every day, and all through, you’ll remember that we discussed the infamous Chennai Heat yesterday. What is my coping mechanism to counter the heat? Well, it’s Ice Cream! I often realise that if there was no ice cream in the world, or I hated it (blasphemy!) I would…

H is for Higginbothams & The Heat #BlogchatterA2Z

Posted on 9th April 20198th April 2019 by Mayuri

If you are a book lover like I am, it is unlikely that you haven’t heard of Higginbothams. If you are a bibliophile and haven’t heard of this name, crawl back under that rock, you! Long before familiar sounding bookstores like Landmark made their presence felt, Higginbothams was already a 100 years old. Yes, this…

G is for Grand OR Sri Krishna? #BlogchatterA2Z

Posted on 8th April 20197th April 2019 by Mayuri

‘Where could I pick up some typically Chennai sweets & savouries from?’ You would think this question was a simple one, till I realised it was not. ‘Grand Sweets!’ ‘Sri Krishna Sweets!’ Two voices. Two views. Two opinions. An eternal debate (which still hasn’t settled or concluded, btw) Grand Sweets & Snacks is the big…
