Dear readers, If you are not in India in May, you have never experienced the real India. The sweltering heat, the coconut vendors, the water melons et a1 - the images that pop out every summer. But then, the city becomes increasingly difficult to live in when you are breaking into sweat every second. This issue, we look into ways to dive into a splash this summer -from stays to adventures, we have got you covered.

We go down the memory lane to find out how Chennai did in the past to survive the never-ending summer.

All said and done, there's nothing like good 01' dosa to set the mood right, so Tosai club it is. While our food trail will give you a bite of Macaroon history. Without much ado, we let you celebrate the city in all it's summer glory. Stay hydrated and don't forget those shades.

1 MADRAS WALK

When water lorries

came to Madras...

Come summer and the demand for water lorries that supply water privately hits an all-time high in Chennai. But this is no recent phenomenon. Initially, water from the wells was supplied to the city through iron pipes. During 1872, water from Red Hills lake was transported through open canals to Kilpauk Water Works. However, after a cholera outbreak, these open channels were converted to closed lines in 1914.

It was much later in 1950'sthat lorries were used to ferry water to dry areas in the city. It is a pity that the city has still not found a way to sustain its water needs despite increased awareness on rain water harvesting, lake cleanups etc. If you are interested to do your part to reduce the city's thirst for water, do sign up with organisations like EFI Environmentalist Foundation of India) that restore our local water bodies with care.

Pykara reservoir lake People flock to hilly destinations to escape the blistering Indian summer.

One such favourite is the pride of the western ghats - The Nilgiris. With balmy temperatures even during the peak of summer, Nilgiris has been overcrowded with vacationers over the last few years.

However, it still has few hidden jewels like Pykara lake and its nearby waterfaIls. Nestled in the western ghats.

Pykara is a sacred place for the region's indigenous tribe - The Todas. The reservoir is also a part of one of the oldest power plants in south India, the Pykara Hydroelectric power station. The lake is surrounded with thick vegetation which reflects on its emerald waters. The state tourism department runs a boathouse and restaurant which is very popular

Now, let's dive into the fare that got our taste buds salviating.

The cutlet shaped Hara Bara Kebabs were dark, deep fried with a brown crust - coating a sumptuous chaat filling inside.

The kebab makes for a perfect desi starter. The beans and peas filling are soft, mushy and contrasting in different textures that work ideally in this combination!!

The Nachos With Salsa provides a lot of cruncl and flavour. The sweetness of the tomato and thc tangy element of the tortillas bestow a delightfu sensation to the palate and spurred the sensc ' nxplore for more to come.

A

For those die hard Dosa fanatics, the varieties listed in the menu will make you salivate wit1 gleeful greed! The American Chopsuey Tosai is at example of the sheer tongue in cheek attempt by the chef to integrate dissimilar ingredients together!! The dosa itself arrives akin to a red carpet being rolled out for a Hollywood premier - flat thin and full of style!! The heavily laden fillings of thin chopsuey noodles, sweet corn and fresh1~mixed vegetables are snugly tucked within whicl is visually refreshing and full of punch.

For desserts, the Tiramisu is as exotic as they come with a generous sprinkle of coffee powder. The creamy texture is exceedingly smooth and the blend of cream and coffee, though bitter sweet, i: seductive on account of its mysterious ambiguity.

An amazing must visit eatery for food lovers wishing to explore and try dishes that caters to mixed palates!!
