HAZY MOON, COLOURED TANK,
EXCITED PEOPLE
By Our Staff Reporter
So why does a teppam festival fascinate
thousands of people? Is
it for the devotion that
it evokes, the grandness
that it presents or the
sheer experience of a
float moving in a
temple tank?
On Day One of
the teppam festival
of Sri Kapali Temple,
thousands of people
streamed in and out
of the temple tank to
be part of this unique
three-day celebration. As the float did the
mandated five rounds
of the tank on Tuesday,
staying close to the
water line on all four
sides of the tank, people
who sat or stood on
the banks had a brief
glimpse of the gods and
said a short prayer before walking out of the
tank. It had been a very
quiet Tuesday evening -
there was hardly any hint
of a festival to unfold that
was at about 5.30 p.m. People walked into Sangeethas
for a cup of coffee or a light
tiffin, early shoppers picked
up veggies and women picked
up flowers from hawkers
seated along the tank side on
South Mada Street.
And then, at about
5.45 p.m. the music of the
nagaswaram and scattered
notes of a three-piece brass
band floated down the mada
veedhi and that caught people’s attention even as some
others pulled out their mobile
phones to shoot pictures.
The mobile floodlights system seemed to have failed
so the gods, seated under
two giant umbrellas
were dulled by
the fastfading light
of dusk. For
those who
wished to make an offering,
the procession stopped briefly
every few metres.
Traffic on the main road
roared crazily, trying to
outpace the procession till
the local police brought some
order. Shoppers at Khazana
and Sri Murugan stepped out
to gawk.
In minutes, the procession
entered the main gate of the
tank, on the R. K. Mutt Road
side and the gods were taken
into the illuminated float
and the first set of rituals
followed.
The steps on all sides of
the tank began to fill up and
the float began its first round
just a shade before 7 p.m.
A few people walked down to
the water’s edge and lit
karpooram, some setting it
afloat in the water.
All around us, the illumination, strung on all
four sides of the tank, in the
central mantap and on the
eastern gopuram of the temple created a colorful tapestry
in the disturbed waters even
as the ‘thai’ moon rose into
the north eastern skies, a bit
hazy this evening.
Big-built volunteers who
walked along
the tank’s
edge, pulled
the float on its
journey, using
long thick
ropes even as
two police
patrols seated
inside inflatable floaters kept an
eye from the
waters, at
the ready to
respond to any accident.
The second round of
the teppam took
19 minutes. This was an
orderly event and though
it was a weekday,
the attendance was big,
mostly women
and children.

KUMBHABISHEKAM
The mahakumbhabishekam of Sri Velleeswarar
Temple in Mylapore was
held on February 2 morning.
As the elaborate rituals and
religious ceremonies unfolded
that morning, continuing
those that were held here
on the previous days, people
gathered inside the temple
and on South Mada Street.
Holy water was taken
up in pots and poured over
the kalasams that top the
tall gopurams. A temporary
structure was built for people
to climb to the top.
Priests then sprinkled the
water on the large mass of
people on the street below.

MRTS STATION ART
REFLECTS
A DESTITUTE’S LIFE
Life inspires art. And
that story is visualised by
artists who painted on the
wall of the MRTS station of
Greenways Road recently.
This art was part of the
Street Art Project promoted
by the Goethe Institut,
Chennai.
The artists chose to hold
up an elderly woman who
seems to have been abandoned by her children.
Ganeshan and Chithra
of 1st Main Road in R A
Puram who seem to know
more about this woman say
that this woman’s husband,
Rama Gounder was a good
gardener who used to work
in a few houses in
R. A. Puram area - he died of mouth cancer a decade ago.
The Ganeshans say that after Rama’s death, his wife
used to clean the gardens in a few local houses but family
splits seem to have driven her to the life of a destitute,
living outside Greenways Road MRTS station. She now
seems to suffer from dementia.
Passersby drop coins and notes as charity and the
local hand-cart food hawkers around the station offer
her food.
So when a bunch of artists landed at this poorly-patronised station to paint a section of the wall, they were
inspired by the woman on the steps, created a visual of
her and titled it ‘Vazhkai’ ( Life).
The woman will hardly realise her life has inspired
the art on this wall. It doesn’t mean anything to her. The
Ganeshans, who shared this story hope that local residents can help to get the woman rehabilitated.
The Ganeshans can be reached at 24322890 /
9444002890.

D ’ S O U Z A
There is a picture that I am looking for. It
is in my imagination box. A picture of woven
cloth, colored and put out to dry in the sun in
the South Mada Street zone of Mylapore.
It is a picture that will go with stories of this vibrant street
senior people have shared with me.
If I do not get this picture then I would like to visualise the
scene with a Fine Arts student of Stella Maris College and bring it
to life.
And there is another picture that slips into that box. Of the late
Bharatanatyam dance guru K. J. Sarasa. Seated inside a traditional
house on this street, teaching her small set of students.
It is a visual I would like to see from the street side. I am sure a
creative young art student can also bring this to life.
Some December Seasons ago I suggested to at least three people - two dancers and one journalist who writes on the performing
arts - that they curate a Walk on the dance heritage of this zone. A
few feeble steps later, the effort fizzled out. This though should not
stop a young dance student from seizing the idea, researching on
the subject and making it real.
Streets and colonies hold lots of stories. In every
neighbourhood. In an effort to take the alumni of my school to
their childhood days, I am making time to document four streets
that made the core neighborhood of this campus in Pudupet, New
Town.
We called them simply 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th Street. One is
called Thulasingam Street and another. Car Street but those names
were either unsaid for Std.III kids or not too cool to use in our conversations. As I walk down these streets, very slowly it surprises
me how tiny, tiled houses and Madras terraced ones survive like
fossils between tall apartment blocks.
Shooting pictures will be easily done. Extracting stories will
call for patience. And putting them in context will require some
deal of work.
Once all that is done I hope a smart techie will bring it to life
and this will enable hundreds of men and women who belonged to
this neighborhood or lived most of their school life here, rewind to
the 60s and 70s.
With some drive and passion, such efforts enrich
social history.
Often times I receive calls from students of architecture,
seeking tips on documenting Mylapore. This is
project work. How many times will they keep on documenting the
same zone?
These students ( there must be at least 200 young people
attending architecture schools in our city ) would do well to document neighbourhoods that hold the histories of our people.
Perhaps one or two streets. Perhaps a colony.
SOCIAL MEET FOR SENIOR CITIZENS

ST. BEDE’S UNDER-16 TEAM WINS
TNCA CRICKET TOURNEY
By Our Staff Reporter
St. Bede’s A.I.H.S.S. ‘A’
team recently won the TNCAHercules Roadeo inter schools
cricket tournament and lifted
the prestigious C. Ramaswamy trophy for under-16
school-level cricketers. It
beat the Don Bosco team
from Egmore.
This was a welcome victory to celebrate after the
school’s under-14 team lost to
arch rival, Santhome School
in the TNCA tourney for
under-14 players not so
long ago.
Coach Sathyanarayana
Rao says the boys exploited
the conditions at the Murugappa ground, making the
best of the dew factor at this
time of the year and rattled
the Egmore players.
Don Bosco won the toss
and chose to bat first but
its players had to face some
steady, good bowling by
St Bede’s. Off spinner
G. Vishwanath an was the
pick of the lot, taking 3 wickets. His team mate spinner B.
Ashwin also took three wickets. Between the two, they
had the Don Bosco boys in a
tizzy and the Egmore team
ended with a paltry score of
73 runs which the St Bede’s
basysmen knocked off for the
loss of four wickets.
St Bede’s batsmen Rayan
Jebaraj scored an unbeaten
29 runs to see his team home
easily. V. Dineshkumar was
the captain.
Coach Rao says his team
expected a tough match and
praised his bowlers for bowling tight and making the best
of the ground conditions.
Rao named left arm spinner S. Ajithram for his consistent bowling performance
in this tourney.
Rao’s assistant
Armugham also helped the
team shape up this season.
Chief guest Subashish
Das, Head of Retail,
T.I. Cycles of India and guest
A. Viswanathan, chairman of
the schools and colleges committee of TNCA were present
at the finale.
n STATE PLAYERS
The consistent performance of some St. Bede’s
players earned them a place in the Tamil Nadu state
under-16 team which has been playing a few matches
this season. The players are - S. Abhishek, V. Dinesh
Kumar, S.Ajithram and Lokesh Raj.
REMEMBERING DANCER T. BALASARASWATI

BIG BOYS
DO CRY
They do when they meet in
the school where they
studied, 25 years after they
stepped out. And it happened
on January 26 at St. Bede’s
in San Thome
Report by
Harish Krishnasamy
25 years after they
had stepped outside the
gates for one last time
as schoolers, these boys,
now young men chose
to meet all over again
for an ‘old boys’ jubilee
reunion. These Old
Bedeans came from all
corners for this meet at
the San Thome campus
on January 26.
The class of 1990 of
St. Bede’s School were
a determined lot - the
meeting had to happen
and it did.
Over the past year,
February 7 - 13, 2015
MYLAPORE TIMES
these classmates had begun
to reconnect with one another
in earnest - indeed, the smart
phones were inundated with
messages and comments on
‘Whatsapp’ and social media.
Reunion planning kicked
everything into high gear. We
were whipped into a frenzy of
old photo uploads and ‘inside’
jokes, and I found myself
waking up every day to find
tens of new comments on our
Whatspp group. As the date
drew closer, Whatsapp seemingly took on a life of its own.
Anecdotes, jokes, asides and
gossip flowed freely.
And then the final day
dawned! Some of us now live
as distant in places as the
USA, the Caribbean, Europe,
Dubai, China, and across
India.
And yet, despite the distances, the time differences
and the quarter-century that
has somehow passed since we
were a complete, physically
cohesive unit of raging
teenage hormones, more than
60 of our batch-mates landed
up in Mayajaal Resorts on
ECR Road for the preparatory
session for the school reunion
that would take us back
in time.
Class-mates started trickling in slowly. It was heartwarming to see the obvious
joy at coming together; and it
was rather amusing to follow
the antics of those who were
now big time executives.
The real names were lost
in the plethora of nicknames
that we used to call each
other - Mental bhai, Lassi,
Anupal, Maya, Vella ball, KB,
Samiyar, Pattu mami,
Dr. X, Cabs, Irrutu, Chellam
and Mr. Beans.
The high school union preparatory session went high
gear with organizer Basil
Srinivas (now Inspector of
Police) setting the rules of the
game on that day. Vinod and
Charles (HP shared services)
provided the logistics support
for the event. Nelson (from
Dubai) and Manoj (from Boston, US) chipped in with the
telecommunications support.
Michael Bala (Matrimony.
com) was the core media host.
The stage was set for the
26th high school reunion.
On the D-Day - 26th
January 2015, over sixty, 40plus aged ‘teenagers’ walked
in with the same T-shirts and
khaki pants, which they were
used to wearing 25 years
earlier.
The event was launched
by Fr. Rector Don Bosco,
who hailed this reunion as a
tribute to the value of youth,
for which the institution
stood for. Fr. Sebastian, the
Headmaster of St. Bede’s
(during 1988) gave the
welcome address and called
on the Bedeans to raise and
maintain the standards of the
school in every act of theirs.
A leading diabetologist
in Chennai - Jai Shankar
- opened the session with
a heart rendering poem in
Tamil, dedicated to all the
teachers, after which the
cricket star of the 1980’s Anish Thomas - presented a
glimpse of the school life and
traced 25 years of friendship.
Most of the teachers who
had assembled there had put
in close to 30 to 35 years
of their life in educating
children. The PT master - Samuel - sang the
Bedean anthem, after
which each of the teachers spoke their heart out.
Most ‘old boys’ who had
assembled here were in
tears as they realized
that they could not repay
these teachers who had
shaped their characters.
After the felicitation
ceremony, I being the
school pupil leader of
the batch proposed the
vote of thanks - lunch
followed. At the end of
the day, our reunion was
really not about discussing our personal list of
accomplishments and
achievements. It was
about how the long 25
years after we had spent
time together at school
had impacted us. We now
look forward to the
30th year reunion.

UNIQUE GIFT SHOP
An exclusive gift
boutique - ‘Gifted’ opened
its doors to Mylaporeans
during the last week of
Jan. The store features
hand picked and treasured gifts that promise to
leave a great impression
on clients, friends and
refurbished and now sells
gift articles. We havent
discontinued the watch business though - we continue
to sell watches, alarm time
pieces and wall clocks at this
store and also accept bulk
orders”.
Hetal talks about how it
all started, “I started thinking about opening a store
relatives. Corporates
and individuals will find
a variety of interesting
offerings for occasions
like weddings, birthdays,
friendship day, mother’s
day and so on.
The business is a part
of the Doshi group of
companies and is run by
partners Hetal Doshi and
Harshad Doshi. Hetal
says, “The Doshi group
started with the watch
business at the present
location in 1965.
Last year, the store was
in 2013 and participated in
several exhibitions to find
out how the customers reacted to the products sold. I
got a fabulous response and

Greenways Road gets a new look; may it
be permanent!
Traffic regulation for teppam fest
demonstrates the positives of such a zone
As hackneyed as the word is, there
seems to be no better way to describe
Mylapore as it showcased itself during
the teppam festival. Pristine glory.
Shorn of auto rickshaws and other
vehicular traffic, including two wheelers,
this part of Chennai was a spectacle this
past week. Lights festooned the Kapali
Temple and the temple tank and colourful
vegetables, fruit and flowers at the roadside markets made up the mosaic.
With no vehicles to bulldoze you or
vehicles to weave through, one could
just stand and stare at this one-of-a-kind
spectacle.
It was a reminder of the days when
just a handful of volunteers of ‘Namma
Demolish building that once
housed Mandaveli Post Office
I appeal to the Corporation of Chennai
not only to remove the encroachment at the
junction of Mandaveli Street and R K Mutt
Road but also demolish the unused old building ( which housed the Post Office) at the
junction in the interest of pedestrians and for
smooth flow of traffic.

Mandaveli
Speed-breakers need
to be painted
Many speed breakers háve come up in
many roads in and around Mylapore, which is
a welcome step.
However none of them are marked with
white paint, which cause inconvenience to
drivers, especially motorists.
We request the police to do the needful.
- N. Mahadevan, M K Amman Koil Street,
Mylapore
Mylapore’ ( a voluntary group) used to
block vehicular traffic on the inner streets
leading to Kapali Temple on pradosham
days.
That was an effort to further the plea
for ‘walk-only’ streets.
Going by the buzz now, there seems
to be a new move to ask city police to
restrict vehicular traffic on the
mada veedhis.
There can be groans from many who
feel compelled to walk even if they can.
The larger picture has to be looked at.
Smart cities can surely co exist with
heritage and one could complement
the other.

Gas delivery; diversion suspected
I realised that domestic gas cylinders were
not delivered against a couple of my SMS
bookings I made and looked at the company’s
website about deliveries to my home. Multiple times my cylinders seem to have been
redirected to someone else (particularly the
booking of
18-12-2014) and probably the subsidy
money usurped.
This is probably not a one-off case and
happens to many low usage consumers.
And it cannot happen without the connivance of the dealer.
I have raised a complaint with Bharat
Gas to take action against the dealer (Ref no.
438729). Such gross illegalities call for strong
punishment like cancellation of dealership. I
urge Bharat Gas to take quick action.
I have also asked why SMS cannot be sent
after delivery of cylinder. Such a simple step
can prevent largescale misuse of valuable
public money.
- Ashok Rajendran, Mylapore
It was a total surprise and great relief to find that the
kerb along the entire stretch of the platform in front of
Vasant Vihar housing the JK Foundation on Greenways
Road has been cleared of a long row of hire vehicles
unauthorisedly parked 24/7 for over years.
Nearly 30% of road width and the long stretch of
platform on this side is now available for use by the public.
Moreover the nauseating urine and garbage stench
emanating from this entire stretch all these years has
vanished. This long standing nuisance was brought to the
notice of authorities a number of times in the past through
letters published in your newspaper as well as
Times of India.
We only wish that this should not be a temporary relief
as we find that the kerb area is dug up at regular intervals
for some PVC pipe-laying work. It is also posssible that
this sudden action on the part of authorities is to facilitate
smooth passage of the present Chief Minister’s convoy
through this road.
Due to continuous parking of vehicles on this stretch,
slush and mire has accumulated - the compound wall of
Vasant Vihar has become a public urinal.
It is high time the civic authorities take steps to remove
the dangling cable wires and rolls of cables from the lampposts on this platform to enable public to walk freely on
this side of the road.
Being an important thoroughfare housing VIPs like state
ministers and High Court judges on one side and residential
areas such as Bishop Gardens and Kesavaperumalpuram
on the other side, the local public expect the authorities to
keep this stretch neat and clean curbing encroachment and
unauthorised parking of vehicles.
- V. Gopalan, Kesavaperumalpuram
Pat and pull for civic staff
The newly laid speed-breakers with reflectors on our
roads suggests that the Corporation has at last woken up to
the fact that these should be a deterrent to speeding vehicles
and not a bone shattering experience to motorists. That is a
bouquet.
And now for the brickbat: The callous attitude of the
civic staff manning the street lights who switch off the
street lights when it is pitch dark in the mornings when
many people go for their walks deserves criticism. Hope
the officers direct them properly.
- Ramaswamy, Srinivasa Avenue.
Mandaveli community seeks mini bus
On behalf of Mandaveli residents, I request MTC to introduce one mini bus from Mandaveli to Anna Square in the
route followed by21N in the past. Many people will benefit.

Opening of store in Abhiramapuram;
store promoter responds
This is with reference to your news report on people
protesting opening of a new store for vegetables and fruits.
We are the promoters of this store and we intend to be of
service to local people.
Our packing is done at our main store and not at the
proposed store on 4th Street, Abhiramapuram. So there will
hardly be any waste that will be generated here.
Also, we have made provision for parking 5 cars and
there will be a security guard to streamline vehicles.

SATHYAVATHI RANGARAJ
SURVIVING
CANCER
Sathyavathi Rangaraj is 73, is proud
of being a housewife, likes her morning walks in the apartment campus in
Luz and enjoys kutcheris whenever her
brother’s son Sanjeevi finds time to take
her to. Sathyavathi is a cancer survivor.
A woman who realised she was in an
advanced stage of cancer over a year ago
and saw through it to get back to life as it
has always been.
This native of Kumbakonam makes
little of her battle with cancer. She says
that with great treatment and your own
mental power you can see through the
pain even late in life.
It was in late 2013 that Sathyavathi
realised that the menstrual discharge
was abnormal and extended. She immediately consulted her personal doctor who
suggested a biopsy. Uterian cancer was
confirmed - in its third stage. Sathyavathi
was referred to a city hospital and chemotherapy treatment began.
“It was the toughest time of my life,”
she recalls.”My hair dropped, I felt very,
very weak, I vomitted and my legs were
often swollen.”
What saw her through these trying
times? “The warmth of the young doctors
who treated me and the care of my family”. At the end of the chemotherapy phase,
the doctors suggested to Sathyavathi that
her uterus be removed. “I just followed
the doctor’s advice. I trusted them,” says
the woman whose late husband worked
for Reserve Bank of India.
She will not say it but her family
members suggest that it was an inner
resolve and a quiet determination that
helped Sathyavathi see through her trying times. Also, her family stayed close to
her. Very close.
Did she meditate or do yoga?
“No….I just carried on with my daily
life, doing the housework, spending time
with family and friends,” says
Sathyavathi.
In the time that we have this short
conversation it becomes evident to us that
Sathyavathi does not really make much
of her illness. There is a philosophical
outlook that surfaces in her. “I think the
positive and warm attitude of my doctors
who were in their 40s rubbed off on me
and that helped,” she says.
The past months, she has not had any
major health problems. She keeps her
date with the doctor.
And hopes to resume her walks in the
apartment campus once the morning mist
disappears.
n This story was suggested by Shriram
Sanjeevi, Sathyavathi’s nephew on the eve of
Cancer Day, Feb. 4.
