Good old Madras...never fails to instill that 'city' feel in me. I can never get to call it Chennai, it just doesnt go. I was there last week, and I do recommend the Eco cafe at Chamiers. Its right next to the Sheraton, and on Chamier Road, so you wouldnt miss it. Also, if you're looking for an architect just in case an aunt from Chikmagalur left you with a few dozen coffee estates and you decided it was finally time for that new lux boutique of your signature, I really do tell you to try out Mahesh Radhakrishnan of MoAD, the Madras Office for Architects and Designers. Mahesh is from REC Trichy, from where he went on to a full scholarship at our very own Bauhaus school. His website is on his way, but let me know if you want a pitch from someone very very interesting, and on his way to making it real big.
