So this is the list so far. Final call for anyone else to make it to Zara at 12ish (noon) on Sunday 23 May. Divya Suresh Krish Ashok Lavanya Udhay Vijay Sruthi Shivakumar -- ((Udhay Shankar N)) ((udhay @ pobox.com)) ((www.digeratus.com))

If people remember - I was doing a mass clearout of my books. Lots of random pulp available. Colin Forbes, Alexander Kent aka Douglas Reeman sea stories, Bernard Cornwell, James Clavell, Craig Thomas, Sidney Sheldon etc etc. Other books I haven't read accepted with thanks in exchange. Off limits authors - PG Wodehouse (and that means you venkat! g), Terry Pratchett, Patrick O'Brian, etc. Not giving away westerns, I think (will take, with thanks, any westerns you have on offer - including, if you can swing it, anything in the Longarm series by Tabor Evans). - now that's a minor classic of western pulp, especially several of them written by a guy called Lou Cameron.

I also strongly recommend Cafe Ashvita, run by a good friend of mine. Nice ambience, great food (not sure about drinks though) and is located on Cathedral road On 12-May-2010, at 5:33 PM, Udhay Shankar N wrote: Lavanya Mohan wrote, [on 5/12/2010 3:27 PM]: Zara has a great weekday lunch menu.

I've heard about the service being quite patchy there though (Ashvita) Dont think Ashvita serves booze but there's a very large fruit drink / smoothie etc selection

Hi people, The Almighty Udhay is going to be in Chennai on May 23rd and I thought it would be a good time to renew my plea (request) for a meetup in Chennai. I am clueless on what constitutes good place for conversation + food, and am hoping Chennai residents will suggest a place and time. I would prefer lunch/coffee than dinner. - divya
Re: [silk] Chennai Silk Meet May 23rd?
expensive - toscana, khader nawaz khan road, italian azulia, grt grand, t nagar, mediterranan medium cascade, besant nagar (round the corner from the food world / spencers daily) - sort of thai / malaysian / chinese etc. Not shiok quality, not bad either. cheap - samco - ttk road - fish biryani kalpaka - kerala food [forgot what its called] - street next to gangotri on ttk road - bong food (especially the kosa mangsho) divya manian [10/05/10 16:39 +0530]: Hi people, The Almighty Udhay is going to be in Chennai on May 23rd and I thought it would be a good time to renew my plea (request) for a meetup in Chennai.
