VR Mall - Anna nagar, Chennai

In Chennai's Anna nagar is the V R Mall. A modern structure blend with our cultural elements. The whole mall is design on a theme, even the flooring follow a pattern and color. The paintings and the decorative items in the mall are aesthetically done. Each floor had marbles of different colors set in a thematic design. For a change, in this mall the interior design takes its due credit from us in a commercial space. Its a huge mall spread across two million square feet of area.
The parking space is well lit and maintained well. Unlike other malls the way to the shopping area from the parking lot is centered, so easy to walk and move around the mall. The staff at the parking space ensure the parking is done smoothly and make navigation comfortable.
In the ground floor the open space is used for stalls and programmes during the weekends. On the day we went there were numerous temporary stalls selling clothes set up neatly with ample space for visitors to go around.
There are all shops from A-Z making their presence felt in Chennai. This mall hosts 250 shops. Much sort after designers have their own outlets here. Discounts were in abundance cross the shops on selected items on sale. Moving from one floor to the other is made easy with the help of escalators, stalled at the convenient location.
The foot court has an array of restaurant catering to all types of cuisines. Utsav is famous here offering unlimited snacks in the evenings. The movies buffs can have a treat at the PVR in the top most floor with around 10 screens. The lobby of PVR is flooded with attractive lighting. This is the highest number of screens in Chennai city.
Its a must go hang place not just for youngsters but also for others as it caters to everybody's needs. No wonder it is awarded for the most admired shopping  mall.

Anjaneyar Temple - Gerugambakkam, Porur

 Very recently we came to know about the Anjaneyar temple built by actor Arjun is at Gerugambakkam. On a Sunday evening we drove towards this place. We need to detour from the Kundrathur main road to reach this temple and from then on we need to face a rough and patchy road. In just 5 minutes one can reach the temple. A small residential street leads to the temple. Very near it one could see few small stalls mushroomed up to sell pooja items. The vehicles have to be parked in the street near the temple gates. First is the corridor were few trees are seen.  On taking left is the entrance to the temple and you can see the Lord Anjaneyar much ahead. Here too are few trees uniformly spaced out. There is a coconut farm adjacent to this temple. There is a shelter above Lord Anjaneyar, but for that it is a open air temple. Facing Lord Anjaneyar and to the left and right corner are two shrines - one for Lord Ganesh and the other for Lord Anjaneyar's - Lord Rama, Lord Lakshmana and God...

Beach - Marakkanam

Born in the coastal area one realises the beauty of the beach only in instances where you have to stay away from your place for a long time or a person from non-coastal area appreciates the beach and call you lucky for coastal nativity. When Tsunami occurred, we are sure no one wanted to live in a coastal region. Having said that, over the weekend we went on a drive while resulted in experiencing the beach, back waters and the canal in Marakanam, roughly 120 kms from Chennai and 20 kms from Puducherry. Suddenly on a Saturday morning we decided to make a short trip to Marakanam where our friend has a farm house and called us in for a visit. After completing the weekend chores and a quick lunch, we started the drive towards Marakanam. We took the Chennai by-pass route to Vandaloor and then to ECR, crossing Mahabalipuram to reach the small town of Marakanam within 2 hrs. Numerous prawn Hatcheries in this place occupy the seashore. There seems to be around 53  Hatcheries in this stretc...

Dhandayuthapani Temple - Nadupalani

 Nadu Palani Murugan Temple - Achirupakkam  On a Saturday we decided to go out on a short trip and zeroed-in on Nadu Palani Murugan Temple. Less than 100 kms from Chennai, this was a long time item in the bucket list.  Achirupakkam town is where this temple is located. Achirupakkam is near Melmaruvathur. We took the Chengalpet route via Tambaram. Driving through Chromepet, Tambaram and Perungalathur was a mayhem on the Saturday afternoon traffic. We took a break at Manoj Bhavan at Mamandur. Hotel has lost the earlier charm and so was the food. As guided by a person near the hotel, just in 15 kms you can see an arch at the left side on the highway itself for Nadu Palani Murugan temple. From the arch, one has to drive into the village for 6-7 kms to reach the temple, at Perukkarani village. We had to take a ticket of Rs.50 to drive in the car to the small hillock. Around 100 steps, its a easy climb too. At the foot hill are Lord Anjaneyar and Lord Idumban on either sides fo...
