There was Chennapattanam and then there was Madras. About 357 years later, in 1996, she became Chennai. And whatever she may be called 385 years from now, she will always remain the "Queen of the Coromandel"! Come wander around this blog. It will give you a peek into her soul!!

Strange fruit
Was at the Southern Railway headquarters a few days ago when I saw this. The palm itself has been part bonsai-ed, but certainly didn't expect it to be used as a newspaper stand - and the paper is not a local daily, but one in Malayalam from the neighbouring state of Kerala!
Oh, yes - happy Onam, everyone!

I want to call it innovative. unfortunately not the way to treat a tree/plant. Sometimes it makes you wonder what people were thinking.
Good catch and appropriate title - interesting...

@ Uvaraj: At least this one is better cared-for than most... thanks!
@ Arabesque: Thanks! Maybe he was dozing under the tree and forgot to pick up the newspaper after he woke up?
