Fading foliage
With the city fast losing its green canopy, the recent efforts of the Government to save existing avenue trees in urban areas and the setting up of an Urban Forestry Wing in the Chennai Corporation are welcome conservation measures, writes SHOBHA MENON.
Etiquette & Protocol

Working out rules
Considering the fact that fitness freaks throng well-equipped gyms, it is important to follow rules and regulations to make the experience enjoyable for all.
Lifestyle

Best of bridal wear
"Bride — Your Finest Moment", organised this past week-end at Le Royal Meridien Hotel by Salon Nayana featured models displaying beautiful bridal wear, jewellery, hair-dos and make-up.
Music

Bigger than their music?
Pop music does open the door to a whole range of genres, but one misses the simplicity, originality and passion that marked the music of singers of yesteryear.

Wish they were here
The four-member band "The Unknown", which performed live concerts at the Dublin, Park Sheraton this past week, treated music lovers to a mixture of rock, metal, blues and jugalbandhi.
Eating Out

Lime `n' lemony
The humble lemon, apart from being absolutely wonderful as a pickle, lends itself to some delicious, tangy desserts.
Green Notes

The charming coral tree
With its vibrant colour and rapid growth, the coral tree is considered a symbol of the life force in the Orient. It is also known as Tiger's Claw because of the shape of its brilliant scarlet blooms. Easy to grow, it lends an exotic touch to gardens.
Shopping

Fashion at a friendly price
For those fashion-conscious Chennai-ites, the new Saks outlet on Commander-in-Chief Road, Egmore, has much to offer by way of casual wear. There is also a wide range of accessories to choose from.
