The fourteenth Chennai Photowalk
Yello folks
Sorry for delay in announcing the December Photowalk. I was swamped with work and other things. I was hoping we could do this month’s walk in Theosophical society, and was waiting for permission from the TS folks, which hasn’t come through yet. No point in delaying things further. So, here’s the idea for December.
A few weeks ago, I posted some photos of Valluvar Kottam to flickr. Seeing how most of you liked the photos, I’d like to do Nungambakkam as my route. We all start at Valluvar Kottam – spend an hour or so inside the Kottam itself. And then walk down VIllage road into the crowded, colourful and pretty ancient Nungambakkam Market. We will end the walk at the corner of Village Road and Nungambakkam High Road.
I hope to start at 3:30 and end by 6:30. Are you all okay with the plan? Ayes? Nays?
Quick recap, then.
What: 14th Chennai Photowalk
Where: Nungambakkam – Valluvar Kottam to NH Road intersection
When: 25th December, 2008, 3:30 PM.
Who: All of you, and many more.

The Public Transport reading.
Hello all.
The last serious poetry readings in Madras was part of the Madras Week events that Sharanya organised. It’s been 4 months since. Long time, no? We think so too. Which is why, we are suitably humbly and proudly happy to present the December Public Transport reading. Or, as Sharanya puts it, Open Mic on Wheels
Idea is simple. We all (by all I mean at least 10 serious poetry enthu-pattanis) assemble at an MRTS station, buy tickets as applicable, wait for the train to come. While we are waiting for train to come, we all read/perform pieces we like. When train comes, we board it in an orderly and efficient manner, and once boarded, continue with the reading. Once we reach journey’s end, we climb out, buy tickets for return journey and then repeat the process.
Sounds interesting? We think so and, we hope, so do you.
So, here are the details.
When: Sunday, 7th December, 8.30am
Where: Meeting point at Mylapore train station. Journey is Mylapore-Beach station-Mylapore.
Who: You and your poems/short prose on the theme below.
What: Public Transportation. (See Sharanya’s post for explanation)
RSVP on comment or email. See you all there?
