    Geopolitics in a tea cup (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    A sprinkle of TanTea retail tea shops operate across Tamil Nadu, largely run by dealerships attached to Tamilnadu Tea Plantation Corporation Limited, shortened to TanTea. In Chennai, habitués of Mylapore have likely noticed a TanTea shop abutting the Kapaleeswarar temple tank on RK Mutt Road. If they have not, they cannot be a habitué of that part of town, as this outlet pitched tent there nearly 11 years ago. And it is likely that even the habitués of that area are unaware that those teas sold

    A spicy dish from Burma naturalised in Madras (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    People marry into money. Adbul Rahman married into “Atho”. And the latter situation translates to money saved by the plates. “I have never had to pay for a plate of Atho after marriage,” Rahman chuckles. Rahman is the son-in-law of Abdul Ajeez, whose eponymous Ajeez Atho Shop at Arrababu Street off Rajaji Salai in George Town has the effect of a speed governor on an environment geared to movement and bustle.

    Madras Day 2026: alone with the timepieces in tiny Peer & Sons (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    On that part of Kutchery Road, where the Buckingham Canal flows sluggishly under a bridge, S. Shakil Ahmed operates from a shop smaller than a niche in a dovecote.

    Madras Day 2026: ticking on behind Metro Rail barricades (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Somewhere between the ticking of a century-old pendulum clock and a modern, sleek wrist watch, Zenith Watch Co. on Kutchery Road has ensured two distinct eras of time live side by side. A sweep of the eye taking in the walls of this shop that stares at Metro Rail barricades presents this sumptuous display of the past and the present. The walls are decorated with old, ornate timepieces, repaired and ready for delivery; and these walls also display shelves holding modern wristwatches straight out

    Madras Day 2026: a 121-year-old bakery with a Gen Z heart (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    At Bazaar Road in Mylapore, lined with a diversity of shops, “hoary-haired” enterprises show up with impressive frequency. Aged 121, The Crown Bakery wins the demographic tug-of-war among these old enterprises hands down.

Srinivasan, an admirable torch-bearer of this patiently baked legacy, for several decades.
