In the narrow lanes of Sowcarpet, one of the oldest neighborhoods in Chennai known for shops selling a variety of sweet and chaat products, shopping items and also considered as the hub of the north Indian community in the city, we met Anand Kumar Bhowmick, 56, at Kasi Chetty Street while he was busy selling plastic items to customers. One may find it hard to believe if someone says this man has a huge collection of rare photographs.
One can find a cardboard lined with two rows of black and white photos near his shop. These photos are part of his over 30,000 photo collections. To commemorate birth and death anniversaries of famous personalities, and historically significant events, Anand exhibits these photos in front of his shop.
From the mesmerising melody of ‘Kaadhal Rojave’ to the peppy beats of ‘Kathalikkum Penin Kaikal’, the combo of singer SP Balasubrahmanyam and composer A R Rahman has worked wonders. The legendary vocalist’s son SPB Charan will perform some of the greatest hits of the superhit duo at Vani Mahal in Chennai from 6.15 pm on July 31. The Backyard will host the ‘Madras Comedy Show’ presented by the Madras Comedy Circuit. Featuring stand-up comedians like Praveen Kumar (who performs in Tamil and English), Chockalingam, Sundar, Guna Kannan and Manojkumar, this event is sure to tickle your funny bone. From 6 pm on July 30 at the Backyard, Adyar.
