About

This Guide is essentially for people who are new to this city or are visiting or passing through it. It has been compiled by people who love this city, not by experts or tourist guides! So it also has its biases. It offers experiences than just places and destinations. And it tries to be Madras that is Chennai.

Since this Guide is a work in progress, we invite you to contribute to it. The first set of info blocks will give you an idea of how to structure your contributions which should stick to just one 'experience' or 'destination' - you are welcome to contribute more! But avoid one liners, SMS-like messages and the like.

This Guide is edited by Vincent D Souza, a senior Madras-based journalist and co ordinator of the annual Madras day event ( www.themadrasday.in) and by R. Revathi, publisher and co ordinator of Madras Day events. We make an effort to remain factual though the descriptive lines and tips may be part of the collaborators' contributions.

The Listings began in late July 2011.
