The story behind Lord Hanuman's favourite food... Ask anyone who has visited the Alwarpet Anjaneyar temple and they'll vouch for the divine taste of milagu vada. The vada mala offering, believed to be Hanumanji's favourite food has an interesting tale behind its origin. When Hanuman was a child, he wanted to eat the glowing sun and Rahu Deva had also rushed to gobble up the sun during the eclipse. Hanuman, being the son of the Wind God won with ease. In appreciation, Rahu gave a boon that whoever worshiped Hanumanji with a food made of urad dhal, will get relieved from 'Rahu Dosha' and further, offering should be shaped like a serpent Qike Rahu). The vada mala (in South India) and jalebi (North) are offered to Hanumanfor the same.

Art Deco: Curvilinear profiles, stepped motifs and sweeping curves used in grilles and parapet walls along with vertically proportioned windows impart a coherent appearance for The Dare House, the most famous landmark built in 1940 as the office of the Parry's company. Agraharam: Traditional Tamil styled row-houses with distinct Madras terraces, tiled sloping roofs, Burma teak rafters, lime plastering, and four wings that surround a square open-to-sky back yard, usually found in close proximity to temples.

Post Independence: Marking the transition from limeand-brick construction to concrete columns in the region, the modern architecture marked the rise of vertical growth with the construction of buildings up to 50 floors.
Space savers to Lego homes: Currently, we see architects reimagining the way space is used. Look at how the cramped 'under the stairs' zone doubles up as storage or how about a reading zone mapped between your book shelf. The buzz is Chennai is now warming up to the concept of designer container homes that can be prefabricated and fit in (details: Vimosh.com).

Literature
Chennai &:: me
I believe the city has crafted me as a person and as an author. Books on madras I recommend... Chasing Rainbows in Chennai, A book by Colin TodHunter. For me, to
know about the city I call home from the eyes of a foreigner, it is just amazing. How did the city inspire your book? The characters in the book that would ultimately change the course of the earth are based from Chennai and their actions are highly influenced by the city, especially the 'never die - never give up' attitude.
Must visit spot... Shrine of St. Thomas in St.Thomas mount, a serene place that not even many people in the city are aware of. Situated at the centre of the ever expanding city, along with the 16th century Portuguese church and a history dating
back to the Christ, we get a mind blowing view of the entire city. Must eat here... The street food. Eating sundal and hot bajji while sitting on a late Sunday evening in the shores of Marina is a must do for any traveller visiting Chennai.
