The 2008 edition of the Mylapore Festival should be with us soon.
We have been keeping pace with the famed December season here in Madras.
And it is a challenge.
We started work on the Fest in late August.
Planning on paper is easy.
Making things happen isn't.
Some things have worked this year around.
RASI, that landmark store on Sannidhi Street, has made peace with us.
Its owner Jayaraman had a long chat and promises to lend a hand for the fest after holding it back these past years.
Which means there will be space for more seats in that quadrangle and a clear pathway for people who wish to shop at his store and those who head to the temple.
Thanks Jayaraman; it pays to work together.
The managers of RR Sabha on Sundareswarar Street have also promised to plan the construction work here so that we can have our famed Food Mela out on the street.
RR Sabha's grand old hall was pulled down a year ago and a new one is coming up.
The Food Mela is a great hit and we will have Subham Ganesan back with us on the street.
The special menu list will be out soon.
New at the Fest - Mylapore Quiz, Mylapore Treasure Hunt, Mylapore Sound and Light Show, Pallankuzhi Championships and a new heritage walk of old houses.
I've got to run off now to check out the owners of a few houses for the walk . . .
If you have suggestions to make, shoot them!
