Whew! (And a few more !!!!!)
(wipes sweat off brow)
7 days.
Intense days. Days of rushing from home to office to clients’ place to office to poetry readings to lecture halls to focus groups. 7 Days of sins and cities and photowalks.
Photowalks.
3 photowalks. 3 in a span of 7 days. 3!
Saidapet and Anna Nagar and Triplicane. On hot sweaty mornings and sulky, woolly-sweater-on-summer-day evenings.
Madras Week draws to a close. A city couldn’t have asked for a better birthday party.
If I haven’t replied to your comments and mails and requests for help, I am very sorry. I just haven’t had the time to. My inbox is at a staggering 101 unread items and for the first time in my life I am marking mails as read without at least skimming through them.
To top it all, I am going to be in Punjab over the next week. Where, I hope, I shall un-coil and un-work myself.

I wish I had been there for the b’day bash. Never seem to be able to make it.
So what is V. Sriram like? Is this “his” (as in the Heritage walks Sriram’s) book?
suttufied from Samanth subramanian’s blog:
****
V. Sriram’s The Devadasi and the Saint, which I berate myself for not having read when it was published, because it was the source of a question in the finals itself. Buying it now—> stable door—> horse—> bolted, but still, it’s a V. Sriram book, so it must be a good read

@Tilo – Yes, it is the same Sriram. As to what he is like, don’t know him well enough – yet
Chandrachoodan – completely agree with you, on the ‘great party’ front. Looking forward to the next birthday. Have linked up to you on my blog (http://chennaimadras.blogspot.com), with a post on the Anna Nagar photowalk (not that I did much of photo-ing or walking!)

You and your team did a great job.
Need to plan and promo all this strongly next year.
Cheers
