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"!

New dawn rising
The sun rises over the Bay of Bengal, as seen from the Marina beach. May the New Year bring a lot of light, cheer, joy and prosperity to everyone, everywhere - have a great 2010, folks!
May peace break into your home and may thieves come to steal your debts. May the pockets of your jeans become a magnet for $100 bills. May love stick to your face like Vaseline and may laughter assault your lips! May happiness slap you across the face and may your tears be that of joy May the problems you had, forget your home address! In simple words ............ May 2010 be the best year of your life!!!
You caught the light at just the right time, that thirty second period when the sky and sea shimmer. You write such lovely things about your city and capture the pulse of daily life with your photos. Can't wait to read more!
A fine photo, appropriate for your text greeting the New Year. «Louis» thanks you for your visit to San Francisco Bay Daily Photo and wishes you all the best in this New Year!
I have found some nice photos from 2007 and 2008 that I would like to use in my blogs but last night was a bad night for me and I didn't get much rest. Most of the time I had one coughing fit after another. I thought I would try to just say, "thanks" to those who stopped today. I appreciate the comments, visits and prayers. I hope things will get back to normal soon.
Thank you all for taking the time to come by and for your wishes. Here's hoping that everyone has a safe, healthy and happy time in 2010 and look forward to more visits - to and fro!
