60th Chennai Photowalk … Chikku Bukku Chikku Bukku
Trains are a fascinating subject for Photogs and if it is an Old Wagon or a Steam Engine or if its a prototype then its a Delight.
<sic>Indian railways already has a National Rail museum at Delhi which serves the purpose well. However, Regional Rail Museums are essentially required due to space constraints at National Rail Museum. Accordingly RRM was established in March 2002</sic>
Yes, we are visiting the Regional Rail Museum at ICF Chennai for this month’s walk.
Contact : Ram @ 9444062684 if you’ve lost the way for the walk…
Pls Note :-
a) Be on time to hear the Curator speak to us.
b) The museum shuts by 5pm sharp
c) 40 Rs would be the Entry Fee, Camera Fee & a Joy Ride in the Toy Train, all together.

52nd & 53rd Walks (aka the Madras Day Walks)
The Madras Day approaches, hence we at The Chennai Photowalk intend to have not one, but two Photowalks this Month.
Though many walkers and the citymates think we’ve done enough walking in and around Parry’s Corner / George Town,
But we still think there could be atleast 9-10 walks more in this neighbouthood alone without repeating the same route
for once.
Walk 1 :-
Lets walk through the maze of Attorney at laws offices’, the Kaligambal Temple, 150+ years old Muthialpet School, Mannady, Krishnan Koil, Coral Merchant Street Nagarathar Chathirams, The Lungi Merchants, Kachaleeswarar Koil, YMIA’s Gokhale Hall, Catholic Centre, St Mary’s Church & Armenian Church. Hopefully we get to see the trade starting in the morning around the places of worship and thereby a melange of colours to capture. (We could end the walk heading for a breakfast at the Cosmo Cafeteria for many and for a few at the Hot Chips and for very few at Ramakrishna Lunch Home)
Starting Point : Front of Anderson Church, NSC Bose Road.
Time : 6:30 am
Date : 12/Aug/2012
Route Map : Click here
Walk 2 :-
This walk would also be a Gastronomic delight for many, yes we check the Kandasamy Koil, South Mint Street – Haven for
snack food, Ekambareswarar Temple, Chenna Kesava Perumal & Malleshwarar Temple, the Electrical, the Gold trade pockets and end at the Rattan Bazaar Road. Obviously without mentioning the stopovers to check the Pav Bhaajis, Paani Puris, Kachodi’s in between would be a crime.
Starting Point : M A Ethirajulu Naidu & Sons shop @ Evening Bazaar Road / Kandasamy Koil Arch.
Time : 4:30 pm
Date : 25/Aug/2012
