Thanks for capturing this. We used to live in that street from 1971 – 1975. It is a very broad street (going by Triplicane standards) and over the years there are so many changes as lot of houses have been demolished and converted into apartment blocks. I have played lot of cricket in that street during my childhood days.
I have also attended lot of public meetings (as they use to erect the stage exactly outside my house) and as a young boy I was keen to listen to the speeches given by Political Leaders from Congress and DMK.
