However, this year, the Chennai Book Fair is happening in The Island Grounds, Chennai. It started on June 1, 2016 and it will go on till June 13, 2016.

Sri Ramakrishna Math, Chennai - Things To Do In Chennai #4

Vanakkam, Makkale,

As you all know, we are doing "Things To Do In Chennai" series. The recent place that I visited in Chennai was Sri Ramakrishna Math, Mylapore, Chennai. Despite knowing about this place for almost 25 years now, I never happened to visit this place until very recently.

Sri Ramakrishna Math, Chennai is the first branch center of the Ramakrishna Order in Southern India. It was started in the year 1897 by Swami Ramakrishnananda, a direct disciple of Sri Ramakrishna. Besides Swami Ramakrishnananda, the Math was visited by Holy Mother Sri Sarada Devi, Swami Brahmananda and Swami Shivananda. The motto of the Ramakrishna Math and Ramakrishna Mission is: For one’s own salvation, and for the welfare of the world {Source: Here}

The moment I entered this Universal Temple, I was spellbound by its mighty infrastructure. It is so gigantic, marvelous, and beautiful, to say the least. These pictures have no filter, and taken through a mobile camera, yet the beauty of the place is so beautiful that it reflects in these pictures.

Chennai To Pondy - Things To Do In Chennai #3

Hi, Makkale,

This is an overdue travelogue that we wanted to share with you all as soon as we started this blog. However, I have been procrastinating this until now. We took a 2D/1N trip to Pondicherry/Puducherry, and here is what our experience was like.

Pondicherry!

Disclaimer: Pondicherry is a place that pretty much every Chennaite would have visited. This post is no itinerary or must-do kind of post for this city. This post is more like a travelogue of our personal experience.

Dine @ Etc - Things To Do In Chennai #2

Hi, People,

You might have already read my dining experience in Etc Cafe & Restaurant over here. This post is under our Things To Do In Chennai series. I, initially, thought of not adding restaurants in this series as I wanted to maintain it as a pure recreational series. However, this place was too entertaining and recreational that I cannot resist adding it over here. Located in the Rutland Gate 5th Street, this place is quite easy to spot using Google Maps. As I said earlier there is ample parking space with an option for valet parking too. If you are wondering what is so ravishing about this place, take a look at this.

Wild Tribe Ranch - Things To Do In Chennai #1

Hi, People,

Did you miss me? Nachos was back to back blogging on the page; I hope you enjoyed his posts. Well, I am back with an adventurous post. Nah, I am not typing this post while I am doing Sirasanam. It is just that I am gonna share about an adventurous day that I spent at this awesome place called the Wild Tribe Ranch.

Most of you would have heard about the Wild Tribe Ranch, which is at Ponneri. They had recently opened this adventure sports park at ECR Road. On behalf of The Chennai Bloggers Club, I was invited to visit this amazing spot and cover about it. Well, Nachos missed the event (poor Nachos...). On the bright side, he did not witness the afraid me on top of the Devil's Ramp, and I got vouchers for 4 as a return gift from the organizers, which I am gonna give to him, provided he takes me along.
