    There is something endearing about the brand of comedy ‘Crazy’ Mohan created. It was and still is loved by the young and the old alike. Chocolate Krishna, one of the most popular productions by the late veteran theatre personality, actor, and screenwriter, was among the plays in which he played the lead until his final days. It is now set to be staged in the city by his team, led by his brother Maadhu Balaji. The occasion? To invite senior citizens to share some laughs at Geri Care Skilled N

    Red Rose in Avarampalayam looks like any other bakery on fight sight. Glass counters lined with trays of butter biscuits, puffs, rolls, cutlets, cakes, and bread fill the front end of the space.

    Artist V Jeevananthan walks with a spring in his step. He pauses to talk to a visitor; laughs at someone’s joke; poses for a photograph; offers a video interview in his booming voice, glancing at the paintings in the gallery every once in a while.
