Wear the faith
… these days not many build their homes and their faith is visible in their constructions. But the older lot didn’t believe so, many showed their religious faiths in their “Then” newly built homes.

Fresh … Reliable & More
You can’t beat these neighbourhood shops when it comes to FRESH Vegetables. And more so when it comes to having the pleasure of bargaining these allows you such small pleasures.
With their entrepreneurship skills, any amount of Reliance Fresh, Fresh @ and More stores would find it difficult to woo away clients for these groceries.

Its a rare sight to see such site’s in the city these days. Especially such outlets are in prime areas and the urge for the landlord is to raze it down and come up with a comercial & contemporary complex in that place.
Not many such shops and not many in many areas except Parrys, Mylapore, [...]

Rickshaw
One more service / product which is going to become extinct in the city of Chennai is these Cycle Rickshaws. This pedaled rickshaw can carry up to three people and mostly used for the “to-close-for-bus-but-too-distant-for-walk” distances and are economical options Vs Auto richshaws.
But only a few are seen closer to the Tank in Mylapore, in [...]

This Chess training center seems to know their Target Group very well and clearly focused on age groups between 5 to 16. Also a catchy name of the Baku (Azerbaijan) born World champion, for their center focusing on the game in hand.
