Starting from today a new series after #ChennaiByPINCode. This will be on #ChennaiStreetHistory - thanks to all those who suggested it. Every day I will take up one street and try to explain its history or who it commemorates.
This was a beautiful series to follow up on. #ChennaiByPINCode
It's these small bits about our cities that shed light on their origins. Thanks @MadrasMobile garu
The final reference for the #ChennaiByPINCode series. Between the 19th and first half of the 20th centuries, government officials documented towns and villages with immense care. But for them, much of our history would be lost.

The inspiration for the #ChennaiByPINCode series was the works of the Azhwars, the Nayanmars, Arunagirinathar, Pattinathu Adigal and Ramalinga Swamigal. My salutations to them all.
Two online sources I used for #ChennaiByPINCode were TK Krishnakumar & Veludharan. Their blog posts are excellent references.
A very important guide for the #ChennaiByPINCode series was the Eicher map, supplemented by google maps of course -
A less known but immensely important resource for #ChennaiByPINCode was Prof KV Raman’s Early History of the Madras Region
From today I embark on an eight-episode series that gives references and acknowledges resources for #ChennaiByPINCode. The first is dedicated to Lt. Col. HD Love and his Vestiges of Old Madras
At the end of the #ChennaiByPINCode series a quick thanks to all on social media who encouraged the effort by way of comments, likes, feedback and shares. This series is dedicated to all of you.
Chennai 600132- Thirumudivakkam - just when I thought I was done with #ChennaiByPINCode I was reminded that this one exists. And so here goes- from Chola temple to SIDCO estate with focus on women entrepreneurs
Chennai 600131 -Sithalapakkam - the city’s final postal code as of now. And it was created exactly six years ago - March 10, 2018. Thanks everyone for having encouraged me on this journey of discovery #ChennaiByPINCode
Chennai 600130 -Navalur/Thalambur - new area with old history #ChennaiByPINCode
Chennai 600129 -Kovilambakkam - from lakes to sewage is quite a story. #ChennaiByPINCode
Chennai 600128 - Thandalam and more importantly Kovur with its association with Tyagaraja the composer #ChennaiByPINCode
Chennai 600127 Melakottaiyur - #ChennaiByPINCode
Chennai 600126 -Madambakkam - to me it’s history will always be dominated by the Dhenupuriswarar temple #ChennaiByPINCode
Chennai 600125 - Mugalivakkam/Manapakkam - not much is known of the former’s past but the latte is a village from Chola times that became famous in the 1960s with L&T’s ECC and Audco #ChennaiByPINCode
