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"!

One for the birds
Last weekend at the Pallikaranai Marsh; this was one of the quieter spots, with not too many birds around. Just a few egrets, a few pond herons, a couple of pelicans swimming in the water and two purple moorhens - or purple swamphens, if you want to call them that.
It would take a bit of looking to spot the moorhens in the picture, though!*
*They are at the edge of the water hyacinths, to the left of the pelicans....

@ Deepak: It is, truly. Not too many people stop here, though!
