The road on which you can find musical instruments is called, appropriately enough, Maddala Narayanan Theru (Street). It's a small lane that connects the Kapali Kovil area to Kutcheri Road. (It's an extension of one of the Maada Veedhi). Mylapore and T.Nagar...two areas of Chennai that I love (er, for about two months of the year or so). Thaths, your perambulations are spot on. Perhaps you could peep into the Ramakrishna Mission too. You could show your friend the paathra kadai (shops for utensils) at the corner of Mylapore Tank, which is not an armoured vehicle..... Deepa.
