For those who have walked to Nataraja Stores and bought its famed sugar-boiled sweets, shopped for clay pots from the potters near Eros, and cycled to Sardar Patel Road to have an ice cream at the Aavin Parlour, Adyar is not just not another locality, it is the best address to have on your postcard.
Author and historian K.R.A. Narasaiah, whose works have been chosen for awards four times by the State government, in his recently launched book Amazing Adyar, A Suburb To Be Proud Of has managed to beautifully capture the essence that is Adyar.
