We looked like real estate promoters looking for space!
The Sundaram Finance Mylapore Festival is keen to use spaces here for the arts.
There is good news hopefully - the inner temple streets are being cemented and we hope these will serve us better.
The fine arts students, craftswomen and their friends pitch their tents here.
RASI store's promoter Jayaraman says he can share his garage space and a floor in a new property he has acquired. Wonder if he can lend the space above his crafts store to run a Fest Cafe - it a great location.
We have plans to light up the 16-pillared mantap well - it is a great landmark that acts as the backdrop to the events on the main stage here. And the entire managers at the Kapali Temple have been most encouraging.
Sundareswarar Street where the Food Stalls will come up stinks.
When will people stop urinating against the wall of a girl's school? We will need three water tankers, lots of disinfectant and phenol and other such things to clean up the pavement. We did it last year, will do it this year too.
There are a few 'nooks' that are there to be taken.
If we get a group of young artists to join us at the Fest, we should have a street corner art camp!

It was a wonderful experience with young and old on 17th evening at PS HSS. All learnt it with great interest & played. I told them how to play tayakattam and pallankuzhi. Perhaps next year we can play a different game & have tayakattam competition also. Adu-puli attam is more interesting than chess. These are not mere recreational in character. You get more benefits. Enjoy the game, don't worry abiut winning ior losing. Get new friends too. Good wishes.
I admire Vincent for his interest in promoting these traditional games and our heritage.
