Selective Amnesia There was a point to this. But I forgot.

The thirtysecond Chennai PhotoWalk

Vatsan writes in.

This walk is along a classic Chennai route. It begins outside the Pallavan Headquarters opposite Gymkhana Club and near the Chindadripet railway station. Then we proceed to walk down past the new Secretariat, crossing the historic Simpson building, Kasturi & Sons, P Orr and Sons and the Daily Mail office. Finally the Bata Showroom, where Douglas Jardine, presumably* stayed while traveling to Australia for the Bodyline series. Beyond that is the Barath Insurance Building, which just got a new lease of life since the courts issued a stay order against its demolition. Finally, ending the walk near Augurchand Mansion opposite Spencers plaza.

Date: 24th July 2010
Time: 7 am
Meeting Point: Outside Pallavan Headquarters Mount Road

PS: 24th July also happens to be the Worldwide Photowalk, and the Chennai Photowalk is a part of it.

*Um, not presumably. Factually. He and his team did stay at the D’Angeli’s hotel which was taken over by the Bosotto Bros, which company either became bankrupt or defunct, (though, they had (or still have) an outlet on Nungambakkam High Road, if my memory serves me right.) and the building became the Bata Showroom.
