The Adyar Club - Madras by G D Paulraj

I was recently contacted by a lady whose used to live in Madras and her parents were given a Christmas card in 1960 of the Adyar Club which later became the Madras Club in the mid 1960s.  It was painted by G D Paulraj and made into a print to be used on a Christmas card.  Thanks to Fran for sharing this with me.  She also sent me a photo of the Club taken in the late 1950s or early 1960s.

26 November 2014 - Journey from Coimbatore to Madurai

Left Coimbatore at 9:00am for a 4.5 hour drive to Madurai.  We drove through some very small and poor villages on the way.  We saw quite a lot of wind turbines for the first time on our trip.  Below are a small selection of the photos I took on the way.
