The light mast at Elliot’s Beach reminded me of my early lesson in Botany. parts of a flower (hibiscus) with its stigma and style (or is it pistil?). Let the experts label them.

Changing Skyline of Chennai
Recently a skywalk was constructed to connect the Tiruvanmiyur MRTS station and the Ramanujan IT park and other IT parks nearby.
At night it is lit by lights of different hues.

Cityscape?
Ranga thottam is a little-known oasis near Cowl’s Bazaar just behind the Chennai International airport.
It is a large tract of land where jasmines, okras, chillies, greens and other vegetables are grown.
Farmer Brothers
Vinoth Kumar and Sanjay Kumar are brothers. They help their father Ramesh at the jasmine farm at Ranga thottam, a green oasis near Cowl’s Bazaar behind Chennai Airport.
Vinoth is a silambam artiste and he practices regularly in the village grounds. Both attend the local government school.
From the Chennai Photowalk
The title ‘Farmer Brothers’ is inspired by the eponymous bakery and juice shop in Dadar Circle, Bombay which I used to frequent in the 1970’s as a young executive.
Can you solve this puzzle?
A conundrum. Which is off: which is on? I was confused. Hope the operators of the standby generator understand.

“Off with their Heads”
“Off with their heads”, said the Queen in Alice in Wonderland. ‘50% Off the body’, seems to say this display outside a store in a mall in Chennai.
Runway
If I tell you that this location is just on the other side of the Chennai International Airport runway, you may be surprised. It is part of the Ranga thottam, near Cowl’s bazaar used to cultivate flowers and vegetables.
Master Gardener
An old gardener tends to the plants early morning. This garden is at Ranga Thottam near Cowl’s Bazaar, behind the airport. This green oasis in the city grows jasmine, chilli, okra, greens, brinjal, bottle gourd, etc.
