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.

VB Signature - Blurring The Lines Between Cuisines

Vanakkam,

The first thing that pops into my head when I hear about Vasanta Bhavan is how conventional and predictable its menu is. Well… This place successfully breaks that trend. I can comfortably say that this is the best Vasanta Bhavan I have ever been to.

There aren’t a lot of places that I can compare this to. I mean, who else serves a Thai flavoured Kothu Parotta?? Read on...

Tawa 9 - Nachos & Kulfi are on Cloud 9 - Restaurant Review

Vanakkam, makkale!

Nachos told me that I am like Leech from X-Men, when I am near Triplicane or Mylapore. He claims that I turn everyone around me to be a religious and/or preach purity and virtue to them. LOL! It is just where my heart is: in the crooked, crowded streets of Triplicane and Mylapore. I recently took him to this place called Tawa 9 after reading about it in my friend Katie's blog. I immediately wanted to try this place, and dragged him there.

Located in Venkatakrishna Iyer Road, RA Puram, right next to the Domino's Pizza.

The moment I entered inside there, it was a casual dining ambiance with normal furniture. This wall art caught my eye though.

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.
