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

Madras Week Specials: The fortysecond and fortythird Chennai PhotoWalks

Right. This post is about 5 days late, so I shall keep this short.
Special Walk #2 for Madras Week, and the fortysecond Chennai Photowalk is on this Saturday, 27th August 2011.
We walk from the Pachayappa’s College gate, and along Poonamalle High Road, into Dr. Guruswamy Road, hit Pachayappa College Hostel Road and Chetpet Station, exiting on to Taylor’s Road. As the crow flies, it’s a pretty short route. As Madrasis walk, well, it is not bad at all. About 2.4 kms of art deco houses, post-art-deco houses, lovely quiet tree lined roads, and more.
Besides, the route I have has a superb benefit, that far outweighs every other Chennai PhotoWalk routes in the past: it’s quite literally next door to me.

There you go.
Date: Saturday, 27th August 2011.
Time: 5:45 AM (that’s 5:45 in the morning.)
Meet at: Pachayappa’s College gate/Petrol pump

Right.

Special Walk #3 for Madras Week, and the fortythird Chennai PhotoWalk is on this coming Sunday, the 28th August 2011.
Lovely straight stretch of Madras’ principal road. We walk from the Thousand Lights Mosque all the way up to the corner of Mount Road and Dams Road at Tarapore Towers. 2.4 kms of everything that’s nice about Madras. Shops, people, traffic, art-deco, Indo-Saracenic, 60s modernistic grey concrete, and much more. And loadsa history, and some geography too. It’s all here, on this walk. So come.

Date: Sunday 28th August 2011
Time: 6:45 AM (yes, morning on a Sunday.)
Meet at: Thousand Lights mosque.
